[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 3976660, member: 8289"]At least twice a year I need to waste a few dollars on something I have no use for but have to know what it was made for. Coming in at only a short 6.75" and 19lbs:eek:, I am trying to imagine why this small brass acorn was made to weigh so much for its size. Three U rings for hanging(sure would hate to have this fall on someone):nailbiting:. On opening there are two solid steel halves inside. All the brass is thick and heavy too. Anyone know this? Thinking it would make a good anchor for a small boat.
