Higgins 36 ft. LCVP
HI Pappy
I found this in my neighbor's yard. On the back it says Higgins 36 ft. LCVP. I looked this up and found information about the Higgins boat but what do you think this was for? Obviously it was some sort of clip. Do you have any idea what it would have gone on? Thanks for your time.

Very Nice Find
HIGGINS 36ft. LCVP (LANDING CRAFT VEHICLE PERSONNEL). BUILT FOR WAR THE "HIGGINS" BOAT WITH A 1944 MARINE DIESEL ENGINE. THE CLIP THAT YOU HAVE WAS USED AS A BOUY CLIP AND ALSO USED ON THE SIDE OF THE BOAT FOR A BUMPER RAIL CLIP TO PLACE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO BOATS WHEN THEY WERE COMING ALONG SIDE EACH OTHER...REALLY NICE FIND...COULD HAVE BEEN USED IN THE NORMANDY INVASION....PAPPY
