Timeless Keepsakes: Exploring the Valuable and Rare World of Collectibles
Weather Vanes
While their primary function is to indicate wind direction, weather vanes have evolved over time to become a recognized form of American folk art. These handcrafted fittings, often made of copper, displaying elaborate designs of roosters, horses, ships, and more, have been gracing homes and buildings for generations.
Antique weather vanes, especially those from the 19th century, are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts. Many of these were custom-made for specific buildings or places, and as a result, they are exceptionally rare and one-of-a-kind. Historical or architectural significance, as well as age and rarity, can increase the value of a weather vane.
