Our Twin Arrows ornament evolved from several we saw during our research in old weather vane company catalogs. Sometimes called an "Arrow and Monogram Vane" or an "Arrow and Sign Vane", it was a popular design for businesses in the late 1800's.
As you can see from the 3 versions above, it's a very versatile design. The proportions can be adjusted to suit the design elements. Top left shows a swell-bodied initial. Top right has the initial in gold leaf combined with the address. Bottom photo shows the name of the Connecticut farm.
We have found our Twin Arrows to be a favorite for estates, ranches and
horse farms.

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. |
