[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 228848, member: 121"]Just a bit of horseshoe trivia: [I]"Some say it is most important to hang your horseshoe with the points upwards. They argue that this must be done if not your luck will escape. You need to capture your luck inside the horseshoe; this will secure the home from evil encounters and keep the luck secure. Others believe the opposite. They claim that hanging your horseshoe with the points down will ensure good luck pouring down on everyone who walks underneath and will pour good luck into the home. During the First World War the horseshoe with the points facing downwards on printed cards was most common. Now it seems the wind has changed and more and more people tend to prefer the points of the horseshoe pointing up."[/I] quoted from an on-line source about good luck symbols.................... So the graphic above may have been designed early in the century (not the stein was necessarily produced then).[/QUOTE]
