Country of Origin: United States
Manufacturer: Unknown American Crafted Antique

Here is a very unusual and quite rare antique weathervane arrow with a great stars pattern cut into the tail. The vane is made of two pieces of tin which were riveted together to form this antique three dimensional arrow. The tail has been partially eaten away by rust over the decades, but this old weathervane arrow still looks great anyway. The vane rests on a lovely antique white milk-glass lightning ball which bears the words, 'Diddie Blitzen Rods'. The ball is fitted with two copper end caps and is held in place by a small antique copper lightning rod which itself is supported by a rather charming and unique antique zinc treated tin funnel which we think makes a perfect display base.

This piece is guaranteed to be made up of all antique parts with the exception of the piece of wood ( not visible) that the lightning rod sits on so as not to scratch anyone's table.
A rare weather vane, lightning rod and Blitzen glass ball made into a true one of a kind piece by virtue of the old farm found tin funnel. Plus this piece is signed by JM Picker
Measures 24 inches tall by 22 inches long and 9 inches wide. |
