Large Ship's Anchor

This is a trotman anchor that I recovered from the fresh waters of the St.Clair River here in Michigan. It is 10' tall and 11' wide and weighs 3166 lbs. This anchor would have been made between 1832-1870. Trotamn anchors are very rare because of their pivoting flukes. This anchor has just been completely restored, sand blasted primed and painted. It would have been on a wooden lake schooner maybe 300' long. My asking price is $6000.00 USD and you will have to find a way to ship it.
Thanks Ed

I suppose one could pick it up when you have the rode delivered. Sure is attractive! I would get in SO much trouble were I to bring it home.
