A weighty question
Just for fun, are any of you familiar with the weight markings on vintage anvils? If my Peter Wright is marked 1 3 7 then how much does it weigh in pounds? No fair googlng.

A hundred weight is actually 112 lbs. and the second number is 1/4 hundredweights so it weighs 203 lbs.
A stone is 1/8 hundredweight but apparently not used on anvils.
