hi guys this anchor is from 1888 and anchor of a spanish galleon from the looks of it and you can auction this anchor and its worth 1millionUSD

If I auction it ... will you bid on it. Starting bid $999,999. Rare indeed, I haven't seen an 1888 Galleon anchor since the 1700's.

I guess he would have to weigh it..It seems they go by weight to determine the size of the ship..Then go from there..

The only way it would be worth a $Million is if there was a shipwreck attached to the end of it!

Yep nobody looks at books anymore!
Now if it was in the late 1700's or so who was sailing the Atlantic coast at that time? 9 years after the so-called end of the Revolution..
The weight of it would determine the size of the ship it was on..I have a chart to compare weight to ship in that book pdf..

I think we are really keen to hear your evidence that folks spend a million dollars on anchors. I keep a close eye on the salerooms and frankly, I've not spotted that trend. Where have you seen this?
