This is a most fabulous, early, copper rooster weathervane with heavy metal directional letters. This antique weather vane was found many years ago at an antique store in Greenwood Missouri. The antique rooster weathervane has wonderful detail on the front and back. The directional letters are heavy and could be mounted on a post. They have the original turquoise paint which looks like it was painted over brass. The rod and piece holding arrow is very sturdy brass. The rooster has beautiful aged copper patina. Lovely example of American folk art. Note that roosters are a highly collectible form of folk art and my personal favorite!
