Here we have for sell a 100% old original cast iron mast for a 1870's 1880's weathervane. Altho not actually a lightning rod, it could be grounded as such. Mast is 41" in length. It does have a galvanized bell reducer welded on the lower end. This can be removed with some e...ffort as the end is threaded. The upper end is smaller to accept the early copper weathervanes such as, Black Hawk, Cushing, Jewell, Fiske or the like. This could even be fitted with a banneret type weathervane. Balls are heavy copper. One is 5-1/2" dia. the other 2-3/4" dia. Each ball has an inner tube to keep them from being crushed down and wearing around the ends. Balls are dented some as shown in pictures. No holes or splits. These are not the cheap thin things offered today. This did have a set of cast iron points of compass but were badly broken apart. This is NOT A REPRODUCTION PIECE IT IS THE REAL THING. If you need more pictures, just let me know.
