✅ SOLVED Brass Thing - No Idea

It has two holes in the back which seem to indicate it would be mounted on a wall or something. It was found at a lake near where an old marina used to be.

Maybe some kind of bell?

The best I can make out the writing is PARK? 933F or 933E or maybe 938?

You find says: PERKO. Perko is a company/namebrand of marine supplies. Here's the company history:
PERKO Inc.

Boat light?

You would screw it into the boat. Makes sense for it to be that. The round place is where the light would go.

Thanks. Looking at the company info they started manufacturing marine lamps in 1917. This item is probably from the 40s up to the 60s, but likely the 50s. I wonder if it's a lamp housing?

I was just getting ready to edit my post and suggest enclosed boat light, so I agree. Breezie

A 1 1/2 inch boat light? Hmmm... That doesn't make my "Got it" bell ring...

Possibly an old school version of one of these?

It's an anchor mount. I will post a link later when I am not using my phone and am at my laptop. The Perko part # is 933f

Antique Anchor Mount! Your's is apparently much older than the two shown at the link below and is probably made of bronze also.

There's the sound of the "Got it!" bell! Nice ID!

I guess a rope fed through the small hole at the top and the anchor head ring sort of fitted in the bottom when the anchor was up. Seems like it would be an awfully small anchor. The hole at the top is only 1/4"

Thanks! TNet'ers are the best.
