History I found it behind my back yard when I was around 10 years old. I spent years trying to figure out what in the world it could be, but very recently I have finally found some information about it, at least the iron cast version, along with reproductions. Its a piece that one would attach to the front of a building as a kind of fire insurance. If you want more info about please just ask
