Old Brass Weathervane Pointing Arrow unusual whimsey Graz (Austria)I assume this wonderful aerodynamic looking brass arrow was the topper on a weathervane; it looks 1940s or so to me, with the center portion reminding me of the profile of a streamlined car or rocket ship! With a great patina, I'd just hang it from a little nail or two on the wall, perhaps pointing down the hallway, or toward the coffee pot! 15 1 8" l x 2 3 4" t x 1 16" thick. Plenty of light scratching and some dark spots, all to the good I think.
