This is a Zook Novelties Hex Sign designed for use outdoors or indoors. Brand new item, 12" diameter, just the right size for that space on your house, garage, shed, or barn. Perfect for bringing good luck to your household or as a gift for someone you know who could use some luck (can't we all)!

In the 1700's Pennsylvania experienced an influx of German and Swiss immigrants! Over time they became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch. They brought with them designs of birds, flowers and geometric patterns used in the "old country". The Amish and Mennonites kept their properties plain, but in the 1800's the "fancy" Dutch began painting decorations on their barns. Whether to protect them from evil spirits or just to "look nice" people began to call them Hex Signs and they grew in popularity.

Zook Novelties began producing hex signs quite a few years ago in the New Holland, PA area. Today Zook signs are made in Intercourse, right in the middle of Lancaster County Dutch Country.

All of my hex signs are made in the USA!

I want to stay with "made in USA", plus I get to visit them in their shop (they're nice people).

In general Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs are meant to bring luck to the owner. Specific designs bring specific luck. This design has an 8 pointed star in the center (for general good luck) with a smaller star inside (for some added luck) It then has the Trinity flowers (faith, hope, & charity) and a ring of hearts around the star promising that your house will always be surrounded by love. The fanciful border reminds us of the beauty of life and that life is eternal. Wilkom is one of the PA Dutch forms of extending a Welcome to one and all to our home!

All Zook Novelties hex signs are designed for indoor or outdoor use! They are made in Lancaster County, PA of a tempered hardboard material and the front is UV protected. With each purchase I include directions to help make the signs stay in good shape and last as long as possible.

If you are looking for a sign to make your house welcoming, or a decoration which is just a little different and will get attention, this is it. Our hex signs have traveled from our Lancaster locations and are now hanging everywhere from Hong Cong to Russia to South Africa to Panama and in every US state.
