Great. Thanks for the help!

Greetings, everyone. I've always had an interest in blacksmithing and a few weeks ago decided to take a class to see if it was as enjoyable as I thought it would be. And of course it was, so I decided I'd like to keep it up. I've been looking for anvils at estate sales and online, and came across a Peter Wright that a woman was selling on Craigslist. It was originally painted with a layer of red and a layer of blue when I picked it up. She guessed it was around 150 pounds but couldn't tell for sure. The numbers on it are 1-1-6, so it should weigh 146, right? On a scale it comes in closer to 144, but as long as it'll take a beating, that's all that matters. I stripped the paint off of it using electrolysis and some paint stripper and hit it with a wire wheel and some CLP to clean it up to see what I've actually got. There are some markings on it, and I'd really like to identify the age if possible. I don't have Anvils in America, and I unfortunately can't find it at my local library, so I'm asking for help here. Can anyone give me a rough idea on how old they think it is? I've uploaded what it looks like cleaned up as well as when there was still some red stuck on it. I noticed there's what looks like a 3 stamped in the rear foot. As far as I can tell, other than what's in the pictures, I can't find anything else. It measures about 24" long with the face being 4" and the hardie hole being 1". Can anyone offer any insight or knowledge?
