An anchor is usually made of metal and is a device attached to the vessel that is thrown into a body of water to keep the craft from drifting due to the current or wind. While there are numerous variations, stockless anchors consist of a set of heavy flukes connected by a pivot or ball and socket joint to a shank. Cast into the crown of the anchor is a set of tripping palms, projections that drag on the bottom, forcing the main flukes to dig in. This beautiful hand crafted US Navy Stockless Anchor Keychain is made of 100% real brass that comes on brass chain with a screw lock carabiner. This beautifully crafted keychain makes a great gift any nautical enthusiast.
