And this anchor pic was with the New Hope slides, but the buildings in the background aren't in the same style. Mayhaps the anchor is from the USS Pennsylvania?

I think this is the anchor from the U.S.S. Maine (Sp. American War: "Remember the Maine") City of Reading obtained it, for some reason, and it is up at City Park, off North 13th St. and those houses in the background look like that neighborhood. But this could be another anchor, in New Hope, I guess.

I'll bet you're right. The buildings don't match the New Hope ones, and somehow this anchor looked vaguely familiar to me.
My Dad had some tabs in the box that held all these slides, but I think the slides were a bit mixed up when I got them; and then I really messed up their order when I went thru them a couple times.
I do remember the Reading City Park - just to the "north" (maybe) of the downtown stores. Was that the way to go to the Pagoda?
Yes, it is at the extreme east end of Penn Street, and the Pagoda is up a winding road from there.

There's a second pic of this anchor that he took that day, but from the opposite angle. I'll post it soon.
