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!

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.
