Description
An historic rooster weathervane from the old tower of the Gananoque Spring and Axle company formed in 1884 in Gananoque, Ontario. A handmade unique weathervane, crafted in heavy tin with layered feathers on the neck and body and having the original comb and wattles intact. The head is held high with an open beak. The original directionals have four shooting stars above the arms and below are four feathers above interlaced arrows. Weather has taken its toll with some tin loss to the belly of the rooster which causes it to sit low on the post, otherwise in good as-found and untouched condition. A rare historic weathervane. H: 85"; W/L: 42"; D/P: 36". FRANCAIS: Girouette historique d’un coq de l'ancienne tour de la société Gananoque Spring and Axle fondée en 1884 à Gananoque, en Ontario. Girouette unique faite à la main, fabriquée en tôle épaisse avec plumes superposées au cou et au corps et ayant la crête et le barbillon d'origine intacts. Tête tenue haute avec bec ouvert. Les axes cardinaux d’origines ont quatre étoiles filantes au-dessus des bras et en dessous se trouvent quatre plumes au-dessus de flèches entrelacées. Le temps a porté atteinte à la tôle du ventre ou le coq s’assoit maintenant bas sur le poteau, sinon en bon état tel que trouvé. Une rare girouette historique.
