This slimline anchor is a replica of the Baldt anchor that was produced starting in 1919 by the Baldt Anchor Factory, located in Chester Pennsylvania. This stockless anchor was a favorite with many shipping companies, but was used primarily in WWII by the U.S. government on many of the battleships during the war, one of which was the famous "USS Patrick Henry" which was the first "Liberty Ship". The government continuously purchased the anchor for ships being commissioned, including ships for the Korean conflict. Later, the anchor became the favorite of oil companies world wide for offshore drilling during the 1970's, but when the oil business declined, the fortunes of the Baldt Anchor Company did too, and the company finally closed.
