Heart Geometry

i think its a bollard for tying off flag ropes.
or a beer bottle opener mmmmm beeeer

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

It is a book holder, I guess! =] Peace folks, love this blog! I'm from Brazil!

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.

It's got a slot in the front, maybe for a piece that's now missing. The long bracket in the back mounts it as it sits...I'd say that it is a lantern holder.

I think it is for holding a flag pole.

i think it is an old coat rack. or something to hang your hat on.

Top of a weathervane.

maybe a place to put your keys when you come home.

That, Alex, is a bird.

It's made to prevent burning wood pieces to go out the hearth in a chimney. (sorry regarding my english ... and see Alex I didn't post URL ! lol sorry for the last time I haven't read all the rules)

Reminds me of a bathtub foot.

Rope tie on a flagpole.

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

:/

It's a doorstop.

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

Part of an Iron Fence

these keep the snow from sliding off the roof

it's a cast-iron snow bird

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!

Is it a mailbox flag?

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

Is it one of the eagles found atop flag poles?

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

It's some kind of counterbalance.

A boot jack

A paperweight!

I think it's a handle for a mailbox.

Himmler's egg timer.

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

It's a dick sucker - oh no, wait, that's you!

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

This is what is called a snowbird, used to keep snow and ice from sliding off the roofs of houses. You rarely see them anymore, mostly on the roofs of old homes with slate roofs. The snow and ice would melt, slide down the roof and get hung up on these where it would melt, not fall off where it could potentially hurt someone below

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.

a fire place floo
