Check out the suppliers list at ABANA site or at ArtMetal. There are several
sources of anvils, however new anvils cost $$$. You could contact Laurel
Machine & Foundry Co., Laurel, MS 39440,  601-428-0541. Ask for Ray Robinson.
They cast anvils in two sizes 175 lb & 390 lb, I think. Their prices are very
good.

Try going to auctions. Try contacting your local ABANA chapter. The national
ABANA number is 314-390-2133(that's in Missouri).

Good hunting!
Mark

Cynthia, I echo some of the other comments on the list.  Build your
forge first, unless the block is a terrific buy, 50 cents/lb is good
if the block is in great condition...(look past the rust) I have two
blocks and am planning to buy a third, since the third will be cast to
my specs, I wouldn't think of selling any of them now, since the all have
little parts I use a lot.  The new one will be brand new, and measure
14x14x3 and with all the stuff (taylored to MY practice, not necessarily
anyone elses.)  
  Enjoy, this is a terrific way to take out frustrations, the iron 
doesn't care and you can really mash something if you want, and by the
time the iron is cold, you usually can't remember what bothered you so,
besides, your sore arm demands more attention :-)
  Bob
