In almost every county seat, you will find a wealth of Victorian
buildings with wonderful rooftop decorations. In Newton, New Jersey, there is a
large Queen Anne Victorian, which is now a nursing home. On the tower of this
house is a handsome banner, and right down the street on the Sussex County
Courthouse Hall of Records is the same style weather vane. Each one has a
different design cut out of its tail, and a completely different set of
directionals, but perhaps they were made by the same craftsman.
The Newton Banner is one of our favorites because of its versatility. It looks
equally fine with a plain tail or a pierced tail. We have also applied a raised
monogram and then gilded it with 23k XX gold leaf.

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 (Old Diagram #1) 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 (Old Diagram #4) 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. |
