Keystone Marker
Keystone markers are a now-defunct system of roadside signage developed by Pennsylvania Department of Highways shortly after the First World War, placed outside cities, towns, and boroughs in the state of Pennsylvania. Variations of the marker could be found at highway crossings of creeks, rivers, trails, borough lines, and other points of interest. Overview The Keystone Markers were products of the height of the Good Roads Movement that opened highway travel to the masses. The Keystone Markers were the signature project of the Department, the second oldest of its kind in the nation and predecessor to today's PennDOT. The proliferation of the familiar blue-and-yellow, cast iron Keystone Markers popularized Pennsylvania's reputation as the "Keystone State". While Pennsylvania once claimed thousands of Keystone Markers, approximately 600 remain.

Flagpole
A flagpole, flagmast, flagstaff, or staff is a pole designed to support a flag. If it is taller than can be easily reached to raise the flag, a cord is used, looping around a pulley at the top of the pole with the ends tied at the bottom. The flag is fixed to one lower end of the cord, and is then raised by pulling on the other end. The cord is then tightened and tied to the pole at the bottom. The pole is usually topped by a flat plate or ball called a "Truck (rigging), truck" (originally meant to keep a wooden pole from splitting) or a finial in a more complex shape. Very high flagpoles may require more complex support structures than a simple pole, such as a guyed mast. Dwajasthambam are flagpoles commonly found at the entrances of South Indian Hindu temples. Design Flagpoles are usually made of wood or metal. Flagpoles can be designed in one piece with a taper (typically a steel taper or a entasis, Greek entasis taper), or be made from multiple pieces to make them able to exp ...
