Age of sulky horse weathervane
« on: June 02, 2014, 12:35:29 am »
This one measures 28in long and 23 1/2in tall.  Unlike the sulky and rider, the horse is only 1-sided.  I'm wondering how old the piece is and if it's anything special.

Appears to be a Curtis Jere wall sculpture from the 1980's. They show up on eBay at times, offered in the $100 to $200 range.

Good sleuthing Rauville.  Wonder if this one has been repainted?
