<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 9108241, member: 88&quot;]I was on my tablet when I posted the above &amp; copy/paste is a skill I can only manage on my desktop with a mouse. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, here is an Etsy listing for a silver pin like yours. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1143177899/isle-of-man-triskelion-lucky-horseshoe" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1143177899/isle-of-man-triskelion-lucky-horseshoe" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/1143177899/isle-of-man-triskelion-lucky-horseshoe</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I had to look up the word &quot;triskelion&quot; &amp; I will lay odds I am not the only one. So here is what the Encyclopedia Brittanica has to say.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Manx triskelion is one of the oldest continually used government symbols. It is a version of the sun symbol or swastika used by many ancient civilizations. Common in Scandinavian lands, it may well have been introduced to the Isle of Man when the Norse ruled the area prior to 1266.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have one thing to say about this listing&#039;s title. &quot;Lucky horseshoes&quot; historically are positioned opposite to what this pin shows so that the &quot;luck doesn&#039;t run out&quot;.</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
