Goose weather vanes are a relatively
uncommon design among antique vanes. There is an example of a goose made of
laminated, painted wood with a tin tail in the collection of the Shelburne
Museum, Shelburne, VT. By the early 1900's, silhouette metal vanes became
popular, and "gaggles of geese" were a popular motif because of their
beauty in flight.
Our full-bodied Goose is a bold and sleek design, available in two sizes.

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. |
