Rusty Anchor
I can't find any makers mark, just the anchor. This thing is a massive wedge.
Smarter than I look or, not as dumb as I look. Whichever you prefer.

Just sold one on the bay. That anchor was used by George Brittain. Only thing missing is the "G.B".
It may or not be his.

Hey Dave...nice blade! I just restored one just like it for Phrank...same Anchor with no makers mark. You gotta a lot of 'meat' there so it should restor nicely...Good Find!
Here is a link to show you what can be done...

Beat me to it!
Yes, the one you restored was in supremely f'ed up condition, thanks to you, a real antique beauty was brought back to life.
ChopperD - if you're looking to get that blade into the rotation, Wolfpack is worth sending out a howl to - you won't be disappointed.
Wolfpack, if I added to your workload - apologies!

As Wolfpack noted, a lot of meat there, but a lot of corrosion at the bevel. I had a George Brittain in like condition and it took a lot of honing to get past where the edge was falling apart into Swiss cheese. Like a 1/16" of blade gone by the time I was done. So hone it to get past the corrosion before you begin working on the rest of the blade.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I'd clean her up & KEEP those scales,,, same pins if possible,,, clean the wood scales a little & re-oil them,,,, that's a great find.
