Cast Iron Eagle & Shield

[whiskeyman]

found this while taking pix in an old cemetery. There were some sections of wrought iron fencing scatered about so I guess this was attached to the gate...which was totally gone. I spotted it in a muddy area. A few more rains and cattle strolling through and it would have been buried.

It's marked:
The Valley Forge Patent Fences- Knoxville,Tenn.

measures about 5 x 5 inches.

Wow, that's cool, whiskeyman. Were the cattle strolling through the cemetary? [] ~Mike

through it, around it, over it...generally made a mess of the stones as well. []
Sad to say - I have seen that a lot in the last 2 years.[]
