[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] Thanks for quoting Wikipedia... would have never found that myself. These stars are all over the Midwest too but the wiki author probably has never stopped in those flyover states. Super common everywhere. I miss being able to show any kind of American pride. Seems all the symbols have been appropriated by the right.[/quote]
