Never seen the tongue weight actually stamped on the frame...but I haven't seen everything either.
What trailer..? That's (2,100) a lot.
The dry hitch weight of that model is 620 lbs. The total gross vehicle weight (GVWR) is 7000 lbs and the dry weight 5080 lbs. Your tongue weight should never be more than 15% of your total vehicle weight, so the MOST your tongue weight should be when fully loaded to the maximum weight (GVWR) is 1050 lbs.
Documentation here
But be aware that 620 lbs is the dry hitch weight. This is how it came off the assembly line without anything else loaded on it. The actual important tongue weight is the full or loaded tongue weight which is the tongue weight when you have added water (if you haul water), propane, food, clothing, camping accessories, any modifications you have done to the trailer, bikes (if you carry them in or on the trailer). Again, you can put around 2000 lbs of "stuff" in your trailer before you exceed the GVWR.
But you must also consider the actual hitch on your tow vehicle. It depends on what type of hitch you have and what your hitch is rated for. Most have a maximum rating listed on them, a lesser number for a weight carrying set up and a higher number for a weight distribution set up.
The only way to get the full tongue weight is to load up your trailer and take it to a truck scale or to use an at home hitch scale or improvise using a bathroom scale. There are plenty of posts and info on the internet as to how to do any of these.

That 2100lbs you found is the max for the coupler that is welded to the frame! As Ravens fan found your dry tongue weight there is part of your answer. Your loaded tongue weight however will change that.
As to the first 2 replies, don't reply if your not going to help the guy out!

That's what happens when people don't know the answer, but want to boost their thread count.
