19th C. Ethan Allen Weathervane
Arguably, Ethan Allen was the greatest of the 19th C. Morgan race horses. He was the son of the almost equally famous Blackhawk, and probably more Ethan Allen weathervanes were made than of any other horse. But this Ethan Allen rises from that crowd to stand apart. At 25”L x 15”H he’s not the biggest, but his beautifully trim form may be the best. And his verdigris surface is certainly the best. Hammered sheet copper body, mane and tail; cast zinc head, with just vestiges of the original sizing and gilt. No breaks or repairs or bullet holes. Found in western New York State. Possibly by J.W. Fiske and Co., New York.
