Is an english Wilkinson a good anvil?

[R H Clark]

I have an opportunity to purchase one.I haven't seen it yet but the seller says it is in great shape.I explaned to him that the face needed to be flat for a knifemaker and he assured me it looks new.It's 150lbs.

Wilkinson is an old name. Do a search and find out few things on it. If it's what he says it is, it should be a good anvil. Lin
