Short Description

Extremely rare. These were used for shallow water and used while at anchor as well to be sure they are not drifting. This is hand make from a strip of lead, folded over many times. It has a clear square hole and clear damage from hundreds of times hitting the bottom. Great sea life encrustation still on it.
