$12899.00
I am lucky to have had this item since 2009. I am at the point in my life where I have started to downsize my prized possessions. You are looking at an amazing and exquisite Anchor chain off of the USS Abbot. From the extensive research I have started since 2009 and from what the old timer told me about this prestigious item correlates with the timeframe and location of the anchor chain. There has not been another WWII anchor chain sold from any sale houses, selling platforms or any other sale sites that I have found. This is also included in my research which makes this item insanely rare!
This Anchor weighs in at a massive 87.8 pounds! It is 5 feet and 5 inches long with a total of 8 links that are 10 inches 3/4 long, over 5 inches wide and is nearly 2 inches thick.
USS Abbot (DD-629) was a Fletcher-class destroyer in the service of the United States Navy. She was the second Navy ship named after Commodore Joel Abbot (1793–1855). USS Abbot served as an escort for larger warships conducting their own shakedown cruises.
