An Antique Automobile! For Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was photographed at the Heritage Museum and Gardens at Sandwich, Massachusetts.



This two dimensional early automobile weathervane had a lovely patina.  It was difficult to photograph because it was inside a glass display case next to a wall of windows inside the J.K. Lilly Automobile Gallery at the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Massachusetts.  This weathervane is located right next to the front entrance.  

A tag on the display case reads "Touring Car Weathervane.  Unidentified Manufacturer probably Massachusetts or New York c. 1910 - 1930.  Copper, iron.  Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Nicholas". This automobile gallery is home to over 40 antique vehicles from an 1899 Winton to a 1965 Ford Country Squire station wagon.
