Size? Metal type? And maybe a side profile view?

Plymouth automobile grill/hood/trunk lid emblem? Sub

It is nothing, just the letter opener Christopher Columbus used to open his mail from the Queen. Just toss it in your junk pile.


PS: hope you saw the humor in the post.

Subterranean nailed it! Nice work!

Similar indeed, but Plymouth's Mayflower logo seems to show the back of the ship, and headed a different direction.
If this thing is a letter opener, it looks like the sheath is stuck on... unless its the chunkiest opener blade ever.
A picture of the other side may (or may not) help. Is there a seam where the anchor meets the rope? (exploring the idea of a stuck sheath, with just enough corrosion to make it look like one piece)

Just a guess. I have seen fancy ones but not like yours. Is the metal strong enough to be a sail/rope making fid (splicing rope or opening up holes in the sailcloth)?

Thanks for the responses.

I believe all could be possible but I'm going with Columbus's letter opener. Lol

A friend sent that pic to me and I posted it pretty quickly with little info. I have since actually held the item and have some additional info and pics. After holding it, I don't believe it's lead but some other metal alloy. Hope the pics help.

Thanks again
