A Powerful Spread-Wing Eagle Weathervane
Full Bodied...Perched on Orb Above Arrow
Anonymous...19th century
Old Surface



In old surface, this full bodied outstanding iconic American Symbol with outstretched wings and open beak with tongue is of molded sheet copper and has great detail...full zinc legs, feet and talons; primary feathers, and broad tail. The arrow with corrugated feathers has a cast iron tip which is missing its point. The vane displays an original surface history of varying surface layers and is attractive. It appears that the vane took a tumble with arrow separated at orb. We are able to have this expertly restored.
(Height: 30 inches; head to tail: 28.5 inches; wing span: 42.25 inches.)

Prancing Horse Weathervane

A Large Cow Weathervane
Anonymous
Nineteenth Century



With large utter, applied ears and honest surface this bovine stands at 19.5-inches with a length of 30.5-inches. The surface consists of gilt leaf over original oxidized surface; nice verdigris.
