Help interpret "3 10" mark of Peter Wright

Jun 27, 2009 7 Replies

A Peter Wright anvil followed me home today. It has a round logo Peter Wright Solid Wrought or some such. Inside the logo there is a big, prominent number 3 stamped. To the right of the logo there is a number



10 stamped.

Am I correct in interpreting it as 3 hundredweight 10 lbs, or 334 lbs?

the "10" could be either pounds, or "stones". I've seen 3 numbers showing hundredweight - stones - pounds!

3-1-0

336+28+0

364 lbs, +/-

I cleaned it up, I now believe that the stamp is 1 3 10, which means

202 or 206 lbs depending on the meaning of hundredweight.

Hundredweight is 112 pounds, so you are looking at 206.

Decent sized PW.

Thanks... Here are the pictures...

I see two tools needing to be made :-) A pointed round one - something like a morse taper... A square one - with a smaller pounding area....

Nice toy to have.

Yes, I will make a hardie tool from a junk piece of iron. I am thinking a bending hardie attachment.
