The sturdy, low-priced Model T Ford (nicknamed the "Tin Lizzie"
or "Flivver") was manufactured at Henry Ford's Ford Motor Co. factory
at the Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit. The first production Model T was
assembled October 1, 1908. By 1914, the moving assembly line enabled Ford to
produce far more cars than any other company, and by 1927 15 million Model T's
had been built. It has never been proven that Henry Ford ever said, "You
can paint it any color, so long as it's black." This Model T Weather Vane
with lots of details is of copper and brass, but can certainly be ordered in
black patina!
The Stanley, nicknamed the "Stanley Steamer", was a steam-powered
automobile porduced by the Stanely Motor Carriage Co. in the early 1900's. The
company was owned by twins Freelan Oscar and Francis Edgar Stanley.

This style was popular from the 1700's right up to the Victorian era, and is also very striking with contemporary vanes. |
 Diagram A - Headblock only Traditional mounting of a weather vane into the solid headblock of a cupola, tower, turret or gazebo, or into the ridgepole of a roof. This is the "old fashioned" traditional way of mounting a weather
vane. It is still suitable today for smaller vanes up to 36" wide. Our
basic 28 1/2" rod allows for at least 8" - 9" of rod to be
wedged and caulked into a solid headblock or ridgepole, and 16" - 20"
of rod exposed above the apex of roof. |
 Diagram B - Headblock & Brace A preferred traditional mount into the solid headblock of a cupola, tower, turret or gazebo, or into the ridgepole of a roof using a brace for extra strength. Prepare your roof ahead with this headblock and brace system, for an easy and very secure mount. This mount is suitable for any size weather vane. Our basic 28 1/2" brass rod allows for at least 8" - 9"of rod inside the roof, and 16" - 20" of rod exposed above the apex of the roof. A nail is used to pin the rod to the brace. Larger sized vanes will need proportionally heavier and longer rods. |
