Antique American Figural Fish Buoy Original Painted Surface

State of Maine Circa 1870-1900

This unusual 43" x 14" figural fish buoy was originally found in the state of Maine and was used as a weather vane after its life as a buoy was finished. The weathered surface on this lovely old buoy is exactly what one expects to see on a piece of utilitarian antique American folk art from the last quarter of the 19th century. The formidable size and excellent sculptural quality of thisearly wood and sheet metal Maine buoy will make it stand out in any collection of maritime antiques or early country primitives.
