Yep I got one. There is a hole that probably held an eyelet for attaching an anchor but no markings that I can find. Apparently being unmarked or unsigned is not uncommon even for the major manufactures of the day, or carvers who are now well known. For a long time they were just utility items and even the best carvers never considered themselves "artists". The same guy who would carve a deke might turn around and carve an axehandle. No one ever thought they would be consider art or collectibles, so it never occured to them to sign them.
