Up for bid is a very corroded handmade antique weathervane base.  The piece is about 18 inches tall by 16 3/4 inches tall.  The top accepts a ½ inch diameter weathervane rod.  The arms have hand-cut welded letters at the ends.  It has a 4 inch by 3 inch octagonal mounting plate with four screw holes.

Condition on the piece is poor.  It is very rusty from years of exposure, and the arms are bent down a bit, especially the North one.  Still an interesting old weathervane accessory!
