Early 20th Century Folk Art Robin Weathervane

Circa 1920s: Found in a New England home and mounted on a 15" long piece of driftwood, this beautiful carved wooden robin weathervane with inserted sheet copper tail fin directional has exceptional finely crazed orginal paint and most probably was mounted atop a birdhouse. The vane itself is a mere 9" long with an overall height of 8.5" including the stand. Condition is excellent with a small loss to the underside of the beak that does not hinder the vane's visual impact. This unusal piece of folk art is a combination of a charming hand carved robin and a petite weathervane and is the first of this form we have seen.
