There is Fulton Iron, it is an old company in Missouri, back to like 1891, and still in business as Fulton Iron Works, but I don't know if that is an "n" or not, and why they would have a sign on a barn. There are other iron companies, but if that is an "n" I don't know that others match.

Good luck!

Looks like an H to me?

i thought possibly high iron co but i couldn't find anything tying that company to Missouri or anything about it before the 60's and I'm 85% sure the barn was torn down by then. been a bean/cornfield since so I'm sure it was tied to the barn

May find clues checking out nearby bridges.
A google search took me here, and there seems to be a common association with signs of this nature and bridges.

Yeah I think I was wrong, maybe because I call on Fulton Iron Works, so I wanted it to be....

There was a Bridge Beach & Co out of St. Louis that did mostly stoves, but also did some boilers and misc stuff. There was a Shapleigh Hardware Co which appears to have operated its own foundry, but that one looks unlikely. Not seeing much ending in H

I thought maybe the Faeth Iron Co. of Kansas City, Mo. But I haven't been able to find a match to confirm. Hope you find more pieces!

This is from 1919
