About this work
Model of a stock and chain anchor, consisting of a shank with a curved arm with anchor flukes at the ends. Iron anchor stock, secured with a pin and equipped with balls at the ends, one of which can be removed to release the stock through the hole in the shank. The anchor ring has been replaced by a harp, typical for chain anchors; also, the shank and arms are heavier than in ordinary anchors. Scale 1:5 (estimate).
