HERE IS A RARE OLD WEATHER VANE LIGHTING ROD WITH A RUNNING HORSE WITH JOCKEY AT A FENCE. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. ONLY NAME I CAN FIND ON IT IS THE WORD CAPITAL WHICH I PRESUME WAS THE MANUFACTURER, MABE FROM THE WASHINGTON DC AREA WHICH IS 40 MILES AWAY. IT IS ALL CAST IRON MATERIAL EXCEPT FOR THE ROOF MOUNT AND THE GLOBE. THE GLOBE IS MADE OF SOME PLASTIC LIKE MATERIAL (BUT NOT PLASTIC) FROM ITS TIME PERIOD. THE GLOBE WAS A TWO PIECE UNIT AND THE TOP HALF IS MI...SSING. SEE PICTURES.THE ROOF MOUNT IS NOT STEEL (MAYBE CAST) AS IT HAS NOT RUSTED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPAIRS OF ANY KIND DONE TO IT. IT WAS TAKEN OFF A SMALL HORSE BARN IN MARYLAND WHICH THE BARN WAS BUILT IN THE 1930'S OR 1940'S. THE PIECE HAS BEEN ON THIS BARN SINCE THEN AND REMOVED RECENTLY. THIS WILL SHIP PRIORITY INSURED MAIL WELL PACKAGED FOR PROTECTION. PLEASE SEE ALL 12 PICTURES OF THIS FINE PIECE. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
