What is the difference between the
green and the polished finish? |
|
|
The green finish is referred to as
"patina." This is an artificial finish applied to give the
weathervane the appearance of an antique. To some people, the
polished finish is more appealing. After assembly, these
weathervane figures are placed on buffers to give them luster
and shine. |

last? |
|

Within one month the weathervane
will lose its polished look and start to naturally tarnish on
its own. |

|

No. But we recommend that you
regularly check that your weathervane figure spins freely. |

Which of the weathervanes are most
popular? |
|

The eagle, rooster, and horse have
always been favorites. These figures are designs that date back
to early colonial settlement. |

|
|
Which weathervane should I buy? |
|
|
You should buy the weathervane that
best displays your personality, or identifies the area in which
you live. |
|
|
|
If the weathervane is pointing
south, does this mean that the wind is blowing from the north? |
|

No! The weathervane figure will
always point into the wind or from where the wind is blowing. |
