US Navy Chief Petty Officer (CPO) anchor in lucite… Items dimensions are 6″ wide x 7″ tall × 1.5 thick. It has a blue base with felt feet so it won’t scratch any surface. The anchor is a shiny brass color with silver letters (USN). I’ll is quite heavy for its size and quite impressive to look at. Trust me when I say that the pictures don’t do it justice! This would make a great promotion or retirement gift for a Navy Chief. Find a nice brass nameplate and BOOM! Microfiber buffing cloth included. I have not seen anything like this anywhere else.
