This is my anvil, a Peter Wright. I was elated to find out that Peter Wright anvils were made in Dudley, England which is the area that my kinfolk are from and have traced back to the Dudley area as far back as the late 1500's. Notice the stamped numbers 0 3 3 which designates my anvil as weighing 87 lbs. The first column is the number of hundredweights, 0 in this case. The second column is the number of quarters of a hw, this case three, 3x28=84. then the final column is lbs, in this case three. So my anvil weight is 84+3= 87 total lbs.
