Title: horse weathervane
Post by: rustyattic on November 17, 2013, 07:19:14 PM

I picked this up in a barn near Chicago.  It's non magnetic metal and a little heavy.  What's it made out of and when do you think it was made?

Okay, I have looked at all the definitions and none fit your sentence, Wullie!  LOL

I agree, can't tell age from the picture.  If it is hefty in size/weight relation then that is a good thing!!!
