Verzonken? OCR-foutje?

Hi Pat,

in my homepart of Germany -Muensterland - all old rural buildings had a
"Giäbbel-Anker", in Dutch: gevel-anker, in English Gable anchor. In some old
or
restored farmhouses you can still see those anchors at the gable. Sometimes
it
looks like ornaments.

Greetings Heinrich Becker
