Small Tin Horse Weathervane

Price: 675

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

This small, tin prancing horse weathervane has wonderful form and its original surface. It is 16 ½” from extended front leg to tail and the height, excluding the shaft is about 11 ¾”; in the stand, which is included, it is 21 ½” high. The horse has seen its share of service: the surface is crusty and somewhat pitted, and there appear to be 2 bullet holes, one at the withers, and the other at the belly just below the withers. There is some light and widely scattered surface oxidation, and the leading rear leg has separated from the banner; possibly, it was made that way. One of the spikes in the mane is missing its tip, but there is no structural damage. A great looking vane! (custom stand included)
