Okay, it's a bit off-topic, but a librarian friend of mine sent the
photo and wondered if I could identify it.  It's clearly way too small
to be any sort of functional anchor, and the shackles in the middle and
bottom would seem to have little use in the real world (admittedly,
anchors sometimes have a shackle at the fluke end of the shank to assist
in weighing a fouled anchor), so I can't imagine that it's even a scale
model.  My best guess is that it might be part of a lamp or other
decorative item, where now missing parts attached at the shackles -- but
I'll bet this smart, world-wide crowd might have other ideas.
