This unusual two dimensional weathervane was photographed in Kennebunkport, Maine. It is afixed to the top of a flagpole over "The Floats", a boathouse that is now the Kennebunkport Maritime Museum Gallery on Ocean Avenue. The boathouse was once owned by the Pulitzer Prized winning author Booth Tarkington.
This two dimensional weathervane shows the faint evidence of it being either painted or made out of two metals. The gentleman holding a spyglass has white hair.
