    I found this signal mast a few summers ago on a trip to the Dennis dump on Cape Cod but have been unable to ID it and I figured this would be the place to find out. I don't know that much about classic boats but would love to find what this came off of. I believe that it is all Honduran mahogany. It measures around 10' high and 3' across. Any help would be great. I am new to posting on forums so I appologize if I screw up the photos.

    Thank you

    That's a handsome mast. It looks pretty generic to me. A tell-tale sign could be the mounting base which seems not to be there. 10 ft is quite tall, so it must be from a fair sized yacht. The angle would suggest post WW II to perhaps mid 60's vintage. Someone else may recognize its builder.
