This explains it better than I can:

link removed at the request of Jock at anvilfire.

The link does a good job of explaining it, but in short, the first number is the number of "112's", the second number is in "28's" and the third number is in ones, so 1.1.1 would be 112+28+1, or 141

lots of old English anvils in the States. The weight was marked on the waist of the anvil as 3 numbers. X Y Z

X is the british hundred weight 112 lbs american

Y is the quarter hundred weights 28 lbs american

Z is the pounds 1 pound american.

So 2.1.3 equals 2 times 112 = 224 + 28 lbs + 3 lbs = 235 lbs american weight
