<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkwing Manor, post: 2322285, member: 738&quot;]Technically a paling is a flat board with a decorative or squared tip nailed to horizontal supports..what most people call a picket fence. Originally a picket was described as a squared stick, usually 1.5&quot;,&nbsp; with a pointed or round tip. Not to nitpicket, but the metal cone would be neither, I would call it a cap or finial for a palisade or gate pole... if that is indeed what it was used for. We may never know. There is no context info available, unfortunately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
