Doris Stauble arrangement. This multi-fruit example is not only interesting and colorful, but remains in excellent condition. Doris lived in Wiscasset, Maine in a house directly across the street from my old home on Summer Street, also in Wiscasset. She passed away shortly after I moved there about 20 years ago and in her lifetime she is noted for these arrangements which number into the thousands.

19th century full body "DEXTER" horse weathervane. Attributed to The Cushing and White Co.,1875-1890, Waltham, Massachusetts. In the 19th century, horse weathervane forms were patterned after famous race horses of the day and in my opinion, the Dexter form is my all time favorite as it exhibits great form and powerful movement. It appears to have been stripped at some point in its history, but what remains is very appealing. The raw copper has taken on a wonderful warm and rich tone with what I feel are the remains of its original oxidized verdigris color. Dimensions: 18"T, 27"W and 4"D. There are no repairs. Inventory number 25-168.
