Equipment model; Anchor model

Scale: Unknown. A model of an anchor stock, made entirely in iron. The upper part of the shank is shown and is oval in section with flattened sides. The top bulges slightly to incorporate the stock. The top of the shank is cut off at the corners which produces a diamond-shaped top face. A ring passes through this top section. The stock is round in section and flares slightly outward either side of the shank. One end of the stock curves downward through 90 degrees and terminates in a disc-shaped button. The stock is held securely in place by a wedge pressed home tightly against the side of the shank.
