horse weathervane
« on: November 17, 2013, 07:19:14 pm »
I picked this up in a barn near Chicago.  It's non magnetic metal and a little heavy.  What's it made out of and when do you think it was made?

Okay, I have looked at all the definitions and none fit your sentence, Wullie!  LOL

I agree, can't tell age from the picture.  If it is hefty in size/weight relation then that is a good thing!!!

Its a true saying....Yie can tak a horse tae watter,but yie cannae mak him drink....you obviously didnae you,se the urban dictionary very weel...for if you did..you would have got this translation... ;D

Cuddy is also a Scots word for a Horse, typically used one presumes in the Dundee area...
