[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had no idea cast iron had a political affiliation. They originated as an architectural element to keep walls from moving or sagging away- they’re all over houses in Alexandria for just that purpose. [/quote] Those are anchor plates. The barnstars that OP is referring to are the decorative ones used on barns in Pennsylvania usually by settlers of German descent (Pennsylvania Deutsch/Dutch). [/quote] I think they look nice if they are anchor plates on an old colonial in the area or the big stars up in PA. Not sure if there are other regions where they are popular. I just think 'old, historic' I guess, as that is what I have seen.[/quote]
