Pretty small, about 85 lbs. but priced well even if it is a bit roughy. Would make a fine starter lump

Whatever you are, be a good one.

0-3-20? Isn't that 0 hundredweight, 3 quarter hundredweight and 20 pounds? A hundredweight is 112 pounds, so a quarter hundredweight is 28 pounds. Seems like 3 QHWT = 28 X 3 = 84 plus 20 pounds = 104.

Newbie here. Question: The corners of this PW anvil seem a bit rounded. How importand is having sharp/crisp corners? (I due understand that $200 seems to be a "good" price, but just wondering spesifically about if I should just keep saving my pennies) Thank you. I'm very glad to have found this forum.

Well, the first thing I do on an anvil is grind most of the corners into radiuses (radii?) Sharp corners are only rarely useful and usually just ding up the work and cause cold-shuts and cracks.
