Swordfish Weathervane

Mark S. McNair (b. 1950)

Craddockville, VA, c. 2010

A unique thirty-three-inch long billfish weathervane with a wind-driven spinning tail and inserted fins. Over the last thirty-five years the artist has made only three other fish weathervanes. A swordfish without a moving tail served as the prototype for this model and resides in a private collection. An Atlantic salmon remains in the family and the fourth resides in a private collection in the Midwest. This folk art carving was inspired by the artist's recent travels along the Atlantic seaboard. Signed by the maker with an incised "McNair" on the underside. The McNair crafted base is included.

Original condition.
