Back to weathervanes

This is an example of the large weathervane.

The size is about 36"  from outside of the cardinal point letters and the motif can be up to about 15" high. The fox in the example is 15" nose to tail. It differs from the standard model in that there are four interlocked scrolls on the main shaft and two scrolls on the direction arrow as well as being much larger overall. As with all of the weathervanes it can be supplied flat just needing the cardinal letter bars to be locked in place and the scrolls secured to the main shaft before erecting.

Below is another large weathervane, in this instance of a Case 435 Tractor in a slightly different style. It has no scrolls on the direction arrow and the motif is set to the end of the direction arrow so as to turn more easily in the wind. It is also painted in two colours to show the shape better.
