This weathervane was photographed in Berlin, Vermont.
We spotted this unusual little wooden weathervane above a cupola at the Applebee's Restaurant in Berlin, Vermont. It is located just off Route 89 next to a tourist information center and Vermont state liquor store.
This wooden airplane weathervane is three dimensional. It has some cute details such as a whirling propeller, red trim, and little tires. This appears to be a one seat plane with an open cockpit. It is unusual to have a weathervane above an Applebee's restaurant, so I'm thinking that this location must have been another business before becoming part of the chain. This is probably a "one of a kind" or handmade weathervane.

Absolutely charming. Such detail, with propeller and wheels! I hope they maintain it.
ReplyDeleteIt needs a good coat of paint to ensure that it lasts many more years.
