    Description

    LARGE & IN CHARGE
    For sale I have a vintage large copper pig weathervane. I am unsure of the age but was told it is 50 to 60 years old. The pig is made up of two separate sides that have been shaped and then soldered together giving a thickness of approximately 2". A snout, ears, and tail were then soldered on. The pig stands on a brass horizontal piece. The weathervane
    vertical
    rod is steel with the decorative balls being copper and the directional indicators being made of brass.
    This piece makes a statement and would look good on any large house, barn, or as a architectural piece for a garden. I have left the patina as found so you could leave it as is or polish it up. I could not find a makers mark. Needs a little TLC, but a fun eye catching statement piece.
    The pig itself stands 13 1/2" tall and is 28" long from snout to tip of the tail. The vertical steel rod everything is mounted on is 34" long. You can move everything but the small copper ball up or down, so you could add a glass ball if you wanted.
    Condition:
    Shows signs of vintage age and use. I see some soldering that needs to be redone and a crack in the horizontal rod the pig stands on. I also see some bending of the ears. This was probably done when it was taken down, but they can be re-bent to your liking . This has not been cleaned or polished.Item is being sold as is. No roof mounting hardware is included.
    Hope this big guy finds a new home.
