Nearly every bit of this showpiece is still intact except one horse leg no longer attached to the base.

This could easily be placed on top of a post and used outdoors but why chance it. I’ve had a few of these in the past and the elements aren’t so kind as the back end is likely too heavy and the spokes too brittle for the single front support. However, this one is very loosely attached to its mahogany base so it could fly again. This is the best example I’ve ever had and it’s got all the patina you could ever ask for.

Stand in last two pictures not included. It’s for another weathervane. Shown to illustrate how easy it is to put this in your garden. See less
