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


Edit: Typo in your math. The total is 255.
