I am new to this forum, but I was told on another site you guys were realy good on IDing things.
 
How big is this piece? Is it possible that those holes were to insert sticks and hold little flags?
 
That is sure what it looks like. Something stuck in there.
Hey Fat Boy, what period do you think it came from?
I like that kind of find, very nice
 
...I see that there are lots of flag holders available, for graves, gardens, automobiles...etc and many of them come standard with a one, three or five hole configuration.
Do five flags have a symbolic meaning? Are there five flags that would be standardly displayed at a patriotic graveside?
Liberty's 5 flags? The 5 flags of the Confederacy?
 
According to Federal regulations and law, flags and Veteran's Flag Markers are to be used to decorate the graves of wartime veterans. The grave markers make the statement: <STRONG><FONT COLOR="#ff0000">A U.S. Veteran lies here.</FONT></STRONG>
<STRONG>The Federal law states that:</STRONG>

We've been running since January and have missed a few along the way. Feel free to browse the archives and pick up any stragglers that you find! Welcome to the Whatzit Forum! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
...a pic of the back of a flagholder from the site Art posted. Five flags, the back of your find with the same type hole construction.
Did you get us a bigger pic with more detail of the front yet to help id it, fatboy?
 
Sorry about the hold up, been running grandkids around the country. I will try to take an edge view, because it looke like it would only hold two flags. It is a very thin metal that it is made of, and the middle notches you see on the back are not open on the edges, just the out side two. Is there a way to put 2 pics. on 1 post? Larry
 
Now that I look a little closer, maybe the edges have been bent shut. What do you think? This was not any where close to a cematary. I haven't found out how long ago the farm was abanden. What is left of some rock strustures look pretty old. Still checking.
You can see at the bottom, if you look close, the tab that could be squeezed around a ground rod.
 
besides I don't know to increase the size on it. Im computer "illetret" <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
...I thought I could see a little detail in the photo. Learned lots on that one. Thank you for posting that interesting find! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
