Section of original anchor-chain link from the Queen Mary, 1935/1967, in original box. 415 grams total; 4-1/4" in diameter. In 1967 the venerable British ship Queen Mary (built in 1935) was sold to the city of Long Beach, California, and eventually installed there as a hotel, as it is today. At that time, the ship's original anchor chain was cut into small cross-section disks as fund-raising souvenirs like this one, which was never removed from its shrink-wrapped, felt-lined cardboard box, now a little dusty and dirty but fully intact.
