Really old anchor?

View attachment 2018893hello. I found this anchor on George’s Banks about 40 years ago. It is 93 inches long and 49 inches wide. I believe it weighs around 350 - 450 pounds. I believe it is quite old. Can anyone help me date the anchor and if possible what it could be worth. Thanks in advance!! Steve

It appears to have had a wooden stock like the provided picture. My guess is pre 1804
