Weather vanes... Thoughts?

[Dblcorona]

I have 3 weather vanes here to look at at if you have time. I've done some research but weather vanes seem to be reproduced even more than the door stoppers I posted about. These where collected around the 1950's and 1960's by my wife's grandparents.

The first one is total length 30" and the rooster is 12" wide x 14" tall

A few more

I would accept that rooster as being an original piece.
Last Summer I attended an auction where they cleaned out an old hardware store. One of the items I purchased was a wooden shipping crate that still contained a selection of NOS animal weathervanes, cast-iron arrows and glass balls. The crate has the shipping tag with a 1923 date. If I offered those weathervanes for sale I'm sure most people would assume they were reproduction pieces. It doesn't hurt to have a bullet hole!

Last one.

If they were from a 1950's collection I would take some peace of mind from that.  If you go look at modern ones now they are very thin in comparison.
