With gilt and verdigris surface,
full-bodied; cast head and ears

The cast zinc head of the horse and driver are crisply cast, as are the horse's ears. A flattened full body with intact seems; harness is without compromise as is the corrugated copper mane. The surface history is evident and pleasing; old gilding and traces of newer gilding, verdigris and oxidized zinc. Overall condition is fine.

Rooster Weathervane
Stylized flattened full body figure
Circa 1870-1900

This spurred example with zinc feet sports an honest and terrific verdigris surface. The vane is without compromise with only "period-of-use" imperfections. As depicted, there is a slight crease at lower section of tail feather mentioned for accuracy; an open solder seam on leg with the horizontal bar long gone. None of the imperfections detract from the overall attitude or success for the vane. (Height: 22 inches; Width: 18 inches; Depth: 4 inches)

Anti-Slavery
Iron Weathervane
Late 19th Century
An unfortunate depiction of human suffering

A unique weathervane displaying an overseer and fleeing slave, bound in sturdy shackles on the slaves neck, wrists and ankles. Holes in the shackles suggest that there may have been chains connecting them at one time; it appears that the overseer's sheet metal whip is also missing. Crusty untouched surface with traces of paint remaining.
Dimensions: 20.25 by 35-inches.
