Not sure Nebe - Peg Rock is the name. Maybe Crafty Angler will chime in as he did lots of research on Newport Bass Stands. No doubt a "gentlemans fishing club" of the time. Plenty more iron stubs in the rocks of Newport. At least 20 stands I know of - probably more that i don't know about.

Take a walk into the historic Travers Building on Bellevue Ave and take a peak at the paintings along the walls in the hallways - in one painting you will see what the actual Peg Rock stand looked like in its original state.
