The flyer from Laurel that I received today agrees with what you were told.
The flyer is dated as 9/5/96 and says their anvils are "Cast from
Chrome-Moly Steel Heat treated to approximately 50RC." The person as contact
is Ray Robinson whose card gives his email as [email-masked].

The flyer covers two anvils, 175 and approxiamtely 400 pounds, a custom
anvil base, floor mandrils, hardie hole cone, complete (coal) forge or parts
(includes a variable speed blower at 135 CFM), swage block, and fire pot
with clinker breaker.

To follow up on an earlier mis-key: I said the contact is emailed at
[email-masked]. The message I sent already came back as undeliverable.
If I used my glasses (the magnifying ones) and some common sense, I would
have seen that the address is @lmfco.com (the first letter being "L" as in
Laurel Machine & Foundry Company.
Sorry about that.
