JM Picker 1901-01-01T00:00+00:00 1 hourly http://pages.tias.com/13712/PictPage/3923807685.html A very large weathervane, the arrow with the car mounted on the end measure 27 inches in length. The arrow is cast iron and other than one little streak of old white paint, it is unfinished and covered in old rust patina. The car is some sort of white metal, not aluminum because it is soldered to the copper shaft of the arrow, but something that doesn't rust. The lightning ball is old blue milk glass, is in good shape and measures 4 inches in diameter. As the piece is setting in the photos, it stands 56inches tall. The direction pointers are brass and were not original to this set, but I thought they went together with it well. This old Roadster convertible car weathervane would look equally well inside or out and could be shown off in a wide variety of ways, including on your roof and a weatrhervane. www.tias.com/stores/pickerstreasures New item at Picker's Treasures : Antique Weathervane Lightning Rod. Old Car . Top Down http://pages.tias.com/13712/PictPage/3923807379.html Here is a very rare metal steam engine set called the Shawnee express by Thomas Industries. The set was made in 1949 and I still have the boxes for all but one piece. You can see the prices on this high end set were high even back in those days, but this is an all metal constructed steam set with Locomotive, tender, Passenger car, mail car and little red caboose. The caboose was added later and did not have a box when it was purchased, but the other four pieces are all from the original Thomas set. O gauge, so they will run on your Lionel tracks, but with a set this hard to come by, you might want to run them only on very special occasions. I just oiled them all up and ran them around the track a couple times and they work great. This is a real rare collectible set from a company that spared no expense when it came to making heavy gauge, quality metal trains. www.tias.com/stores/pickerstreasures New item at Picker's Treasures : Rare 5 pc. Shawnee Express, Steam Set w boxes. http://pages.tias.com/13712/PictPage/3923807360.html Once again old JM has come up with a one of a kind weathervane display that is absolutely unique. The solid brass topper is made in the shape of an old time battle axe, but that is just the beginning of this materpiece. The cast iron arrow probably dates back to the 20's or before. it still has a good deal of its black paint intact. Next is an interesting beehive style ceramic lightning ball in an off-white shade. What really makes this piece not only unique, but also very useful for your upcoming Halloween party is the 22 inch by 15 inch solid brass serving tray that the display is mounted to. Want to decorate your Halloween table in style this year Here's your chance. 26 inches tall total. www.tias.com/stores/pickerstreasures New item at Picker's Treasures : Battleaxe Weathervane Topper, red glass arrow a twist http://pages.tias.com/13712/PictPage/3923807359.html I'm not sure if this owl was first created with the purpose of standing atop an old weathervane in mind, but he sure did take too the job quite nicely. This little owl measures 7 inches tall and stands atop a 3 inch white milkglass hobnail lightning ball and a full set of compass direction markers. The compass arms are made of brass and are 12 inches long. There was no usable stand with this cute little fellow, so JM decided to make one up special for him. The solid oak cabinet door, brass light mount and copper pipe are included with the owl, or you can swap them for a standard antique weathervane tripod which could be attached to a roof or set up in your favorite corner of the garden. Just let us know.

I have the whirly gig mounted on a simple stand made from old tubing and a brass lamp plate, but you can use it in any situation you choose. Inside or out, this old windmill was made well and has a lot more years ahead of it. Windmill measures 8 1 2 inches tall by 3 1 2 wide at the base. The blades are almost 12 inches end to end and the bottom length of the support board is 13 1 2 inches. www.tias.com/stores/pickerstreasures New item at Picker's Treasures : Vintage Hand made Windmill.

The arrowhead measures 2 1 2 inches long by 7 8 inches where it is widest and has the tip as well as both shoulders for strapping it onto an arrow shaft still in tact. A more crudely made piece than the others I have listed so far, but quite functional I am sure.

West Texas Indian Arrowhead. C 1800's http://pages.tias.com/13712/PictPage/3923807097.html This is likely the finest arrowhead I have ever had the good fortune to purchase. The gentleman who collected this arrowheads, along with a great many other pieces from long ago and far away, passed on several years ago. is wife asked that I not use his name, but I can say he was a very serious and respected student of Archeology. The razor sharp arrowhead is very small, but would have also been very deadly. The serrated edge would have sliced deep into its target and cut through flesh and bone quickly and cleanly. The arrowhead is a gorgeous glossy hand carved stone that measures 1 1 4 inches long and 5 8 inches wide. If you ever wanted an arrowhead pendant, this is one you take to your jeweler to have fitted with a gold loop and matched to a fine chain.
