Historic Weathervane Sells for $300,000.00

This is a very interesting article from The Eagle Tribune, of North Andover, Massachusetts, on the recent sale of a silhouette style copper weather vane fabricated in 1725, likely by noted weathervane artist of the era Shem Drowne. Note the beautiful weathered state of the gold gilding. In fact, it was a condition of the sale that the sculpture piece be left as is, allowing the gorgeous aging to reflect its long history.
