Haha, I got it! Weighs in at 296 pounds. Took some finagling, but I got a scale that seems reliable. 

 

Cool jdawgnc, I have its sister!  My Peter Wright weighs 300 pounds even and is a great anvil.  Enjoy!

What a survivor!  Congrats on the anvil, it looks to be in really good shape and should provide you with many years of service. 

Well he may have worn his file out lol but at least he took the minimum amount off the anvil and actually got it to a usable state without grinding it to smithereens like so many others do.  Good for him!

With the flats on the feet visible in the first few photos, the extra handling hole between the front feet (a PW feature they used for grinding if I remember correctly) and the hundredweight numbers still visible, I would say this is a Peter Wright anvil.  One that saw a lot of wear on the far side however, enough to wear off most of the markings except for the two outside hundredweight numbers.  They must have had to make a lot of 90s or other work on the side to do that.
