Little Wooden Airplane - Weathervane Wednesday

 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.

    1. It needs a good coat of paint to ensure that it lasts many more years.
