This exceptional and rare weathervane, crafted by Cushing & White of Waltham, Massachusetts around 1870, showcases masterful metalworking through its molded sheet-copper and zinc construction depicting a fire pumper drawn by two horses. The intricate detailing captures the dynamic energy of a working fire apparatus in full motion, reflecting the civic pride and technological enthusiasm of the Victorian era. As both a functional wind indicator and a sculptural masterpiece, this piece stands as a testament to the extraordinary artisanship of nineteenth-century American folk art and trade craftsmanship.
