Unusual Color Gold Copper Mercury Type Glass Lightning Rod Weathervane Ball
Cool Vintage Lightning Rod Ball in an odd color. It has an overall Gold Color. But has just a tinge of red to it making it look a bit like polished copper. So you can decide. Ball has both collars and tube intact. Gold/ Copper coloring has some very minor wear or imperfections in the form of tiny specks. Was hard to get these to show due to reflections, and the flash. Last picture shows this slightly, It has nothing too too ugly. No BB holes cracks or other damage. Comes from an old collection that has not seen the light of day in over 30 years.
