I brushed the numbers and have figured out it is a 43. It weighs 153 lbs. Any of this make sense? Thanks for all the help!

Well it's either just a 3 with a mark in front of it making their calculation at 143lbs. Or it's an offset porky stamped 2 in front of the 3 making it at 163lbs.  Doesn't look like a 1 to me and they are often off from the stamped weight. Like Thomas said around 10lbs. 

Any idea on its age?

I'm guessing it pre-dates 1800.

I was told most likely pre-1780? Thoughts?

In the CWT weight systems used for old english anvils:  L  M  (R)R,   the leftmost digit is Hundredweights which was 112 pounds so Lx112; the middle was quarter hundred weights, 28 pounds and can only be 0-3  => Mx28 and the rightmost digit(s) are residual pounds and so must be 0-27 Add them all up and you should be within 10 pounds of what it weighs on a bathroom scale.

It weighs about 152 lbs. Does that help.

I got this recently. It has a "43", I think, stamped on the side. Any help in identifying and dating this would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks!
