The weight is in the very common portable anvil range used by farriers, farmers and in small shops. It is in very good condition with minor edge chipping, a little sway, the original finish and no signs of repair. The weight is stamped across the waist in the CWT system where the leftmost number is times 112 pounds, the middle number is times 28 pounds and can only be 0-3, and the rightmost number (s) is just pounds and can only be 0-27. This is a perfect example of a Peter Wright anvil. It's a standard London Pattern Peter Wright anvil.
