What is it? Contest 3.

I think it’s either a boot scraper or boot puller.

Could it be something to put up where you don’t want small birds? For example in a garden to keep birds away from freshly planted seeds, or growing plants.

I think it is for holding a flag pole.

Top of a weathervane.

That, Alex, is a bird.

Reminds me of a bathtub foot.

Mmmh… Let’s say 3 ^^:
- A candle or fire light source holder
- A bird feeder
- Two of those could hold a board on a wall and create shelves

:/

A lump of iron. In the shape of an eagle. And it’s never been in my kitchen.

these keep the snow from sliding off the roof

Two of these are used like “hood ornaments” on
those Cinderella-type carriges, one at each forward corner of the cabin, on either side of the driver. The fitting at the bottom is for a lantern holder, and the one that goes to the driver’s right is a
mirror image of this one.

They kinda symbolize gargoyles, which kinda
symbolize some kind of protection.

Cheers!

it’s used to turn the rein of the horse or to block the rope of a blind in a house?

My giess is an Eagle that is mounted on a headstone to mark a grave for a veteran.

A boot jack

I think it’s a handle for a mailbox.

looks old. as if it were an eagle from the famous old-roman SPQR flags.
greets from germany!

It looks like an eagle that would sit on top of a flag pole.

I think Mark #18 is close but I think it, along with several others like it would be lined up at the bottom edge of a sloped roof–not to keep the snow from falling off ut to help it melt and run off frequently and evenly.
