Another one on Ebay

Post by Keith.P »

I know that I'm getting old, maybe not as old as some and the old eyesight is letting me down, but is it me or is this cobblers.

Have a look.

It's not cobblers Keith it's a "Jake" a coracle anchor from the Isle of Man, I think there's a picture of one on their flag.

Didn't Rolf Harris have a song about one?

It could still be used as a anchor but only if fishing for sole
