ALMOST 2 FEET LONG! Antique Trotting Horse Weathervane Topper AAFA Copper Tin

Description

For Sale:
LARGE Antique Metal Horse Weathervane Topper
With a lovely matte black patina!
Here’s a great find! An extra-large weathervane topper that was likely made in the early 1900s features a sprinting colt! Made from thin, lightweight metal –likely copper or tin – this weathervane topper looks terrific as a wall-hang or as a key piece of a restored antique weathervane. The patina is lovely, and is listed as found – it has been treated as a fine piece of American Folk Art.
This weathervane topper is unsigned and has no identifying marks. Please see below for detailed measurements, especially if you are looking to restore this as a weathervane.
Condition:
The horse topper is in EXCELLENT condition! The patina is superb with a slightly weathered black matte finish over metal. As this is an American Folk Art piece, no restoration was done to preserve the historical integrity of the piece. The arrow tube and vane attachment tubes all appear quite useable. There is some loose material inside the hollow horse, giving it a little rattle when moved up and down. This shouldn't pose an issue when the horse is mounted on a vane. There are a few impressions to the vane, mostly near the mane, which gives the horse a bit more character.
Measurements (approx.)
Height: 17 in
Length: 23 in
Arrow tube inner diameter: ½ in
Vane attachment tube inner diameter: 3/8 in
