Title: IH anvil on eBay
Post by: Branson on October 28, 2012, 08:17:07 AM
Remembering all the high prices for IH stuff, I thought this might be fun to watch.  Where will it go from $5.50?

Well, it's already (as of 1:16 p.m. California time) up to $17.05 with four days yet to go.

Kind of a hefty paperweight - 4" long?  Suitable for people who keep their desks outside in Southern Colorado or other windy areas.

Must be a Texas paperweight ;P

From the looks of the poor thing, someone has been using it as a real anvil regardless....

Strange choice for an advertising piece for IHC, in as much as they weren't really known for making blacksmithery....
