Distelfink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An ornate Taufschein, or baptismal certificate, bordered by two distelfinks

A distelfink is a stylized goldfinch, probably based on the European variety.[1] It frequently appears in Pennsylvania Dutch folk art.[2] It represents happiness and good fortune and the Pennsylvania German people, and is a common theme in hex signs and in fraktur. The word distelfink (literally 'thistle-finch') is (besides Stieglitz) the German name for the European goldfinch.[3]

In popular culture

In the story "The Sign of the Triple Distelfink", the American cartoonist Don Rosa used a triple distelfink hex sign as the origin for Gladstone Gander's remarkable luck.
