Message:: [QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 4380583, member: 33"]It doesn't appear to say Zinfandel, anyway. The letter after the "a" is almost completely obscured. It could be an "n" but also could be an "r" or something else. And actually, to be Zinfandel there should be two letters there. So there are not enough spaces for letters for it to be Zinfandel. The letter after that is either an "o" or a "u," imo.  Maybe some kind of club? Are you sure the photo was taken in the U.S., not in Italy? Is there a photographer's imprint? Any writing on the back? Brooms sometimes were used as a symbol of protection. People hung them up or put them in front of their doors. This picture doesn't seem to have that meaning, though. From which part of Italy did your grandfather come?[/QUOTE]
