Anvils
I love the sound of a farrier hitting a horseshoe on an anvil. A good anvil will ring like a bell. I've never owned a full sized anvil but will always collect small examples. The largest here was probably for a gunsmith the smaller ones were most likely jewelers anvils. the two cast iron anvils were used as salesman's samples. I have used them in the past as paper weights and the largest as a door stop.
