I asked the man if he thought it was a 100 pounder, he said he thought probably 85lbs so it's not monster but still, that's probably good enough for me. It is in pretty good shape I did notice one small maybe 1/2 inch long chip off the side of the face & a few dings but it certainly wasn't beat to death like so many I have seen. He said, "Yeah, but here's a good'un" & pointed to a different one a little closer to the door and proceeded to tell me that this "good'un" came out of a farm workshop where it had been for over 75 years, through 3 generations of the same family. So I stopped at this place that has become one of my favorites & talked to the proprietor he's an old auctioneer who understands junk, farm implements & the like and I discovered a Mexican anvil up on the porch. (pausing here until the giggles subside) That's right - Idalou. I found a little anvil today on my way back into town from the city of Idalou.
