I'm interested in an evaluation of Vulcans also.  I have one that's in mint condition except in two places near the heel where some aerosol gave it a couple of small swipes with a cutting torch.  Don't think it has ever been beat on.  I'd estimate its weight at 400 pounds.

The Vulcan anvil is not a good anvil.Its response to even the heartiest
blow is weak at best.If it is a good deal it would make a swell backup
tool(guests or students)but My experience with one has been that you will
wear your arm out in half your personal potential.Of course if its the
only deal you can get it's better than a sawed off railroad rail section.
   The Vulcan experienced its most popularity during the sixties as a
cheap tool and was the number one choice of the famous prankster Wile E.
Coyote who used the Vulcan in fruitless attempts to erradicate a certain
pestiferous roadrunner in the southwest deserts of this country.
