Hi and thanks for the add to the group. I bought this in Cancun a few years ago from a local who was selling some finds. Would love to know thoughts on age, style etc... It's degraded quite a bit and I love the rustic look but it is flaking rust. Can I preserve the look with a clear cost sprayed on or what is recommended?

welcome , research Electrolysis, that is the best was to stop the decay then you can seal it.
as far as info on the anchor I'm not your guy but someone will show up to give you some info soon.
the pics are blurry and that's not going to help identify it. try more pics.
