I haven't the foggiest idea what "boat anchor" parts for a Hallicrafter
are but assuming you meant somewhat heavy check this out:

Surface postage (4 to 6 weeks):
5 lbs or less --- $21.50
10 lbs or less -- $28.10
15 lbs or less -- $34.60

That is with no insurance.
I haven't any idea what any other fees may be.
