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.
