Foreword

WE

are generally recognized as the oldest and most manufacturers of weather vanes in the United States. In our business career of sixty-three years we have accumulated not only a great variety of stock designs, some of which are illustrated in the following pages, but also experience that enables us to prescribe the Fiske standards as those that should be demanded by all purchasers extensive

of weather vanes: i

.

The

basic metal should be sheet copper or brass

(not

a

combination

mounted on i.

3

.

of zinc

and copper)

and

brass tubing.

Vanes should be gilded with the finest gold leaf so that they will remain bright and not corrode. The letters and balls should be well gilded.

The

spire (which is included in the price of each Fiske vane) should be of wrought iron with a hardened steel spindle for the vane to turn upon. Eagles should be full-bodied with double thick 5 wings. 6. Each vane should be a perfect indicator of the wind.

4.

.

The Fiske

line of weather vanes has been unparalleled for a long time and yet new and original designs are being added

constantly.

We

execute orders for vanes of any special design with reason

able dispatch.
