Old Brass Weathervane Pointing Arrow old drawing This one belonged James Gifford

This one belonged James Gifford and dates to 1804

and I believe here at the child's feet is a tiny little lock

Other than a few scattered stains on the back and blue ink scratches over the stamp

This old guy is about as tender as they come

The colors are a bit brighter than in photos - the light green in pretty electric

Old Brass Weathervane Pointing Arrow old drawing This one belonged James GiffordI assume this wonderful aerodynamic looking brass arrow was the topper on a weathervane; it looks 1940s or so to me, with the center portion reminding me of the profile of a streamlined car or rocket ship! With a great patina, I'd just hang it from a little nail or two on the wall, perhaps pointing down the hallway, or toward the coffee pot! 15 1 8" l x 2 3 4" t x 1 16" thick. Plenty of light scratching and some dark spots, all to the good I think.
