???? NO IDEA !
Dunno..... but, it looks like a good one
Looks like something that might hang, :dono
Looks to be some sort of anchor. At least the 8 biting points angled toward the direction of the chain attachment. Pretty slick arrangement for making it collapsible to fold flat
Thingamajig or Whatchamacallit for Sure, not sure which.
Would the tiles It is sitting on be 12" × 12" for scale?
Box anchor. Best holding anchor there is.
some sort of stacking rack or organizer
It's a doohickey
I’m liking this explanation. Looks pretty slick!Quote:

Looks like an anchor to anchor a ship!
Interesting anchor for sure.
Well I never!

Collapsible, galvanized box anchor is the answer = Congrats!
Are they supposed to work best in sand, gravel, or mud?Quote:

Modifications would "up the ante" = heavier gauge metal, longer grab cleats, longer-length chain etc.) Your question parallels the famous question "what came 1st, the chicken or the egg"!:Rofl:twocentsQuote:

In the bottomless muck and mud in the coastal deltas I would be afraid that anchor would sink out of sight and be as lost as that Oak Island treasure them folks have been after. Old machines, mechanisms and such have always intrigued me. The pursuit of the better mousetrap
Hey, just thought of a neat mod = Add treble hooks in hopes of recovering lost gear!:Rofl Then again...Jimmy Hoffa?nonono:yikes

Looks very similar to what they use to drag for bodies
