Genuine Vintage Brass Nautical Wind Indicator

This brass nautical wind indicator has the classic aircraft fuselage design with a sensitive propeller for wind speed and tail stabilizer for direction – a proper maritime anemometer that’s both decorative and functional. Crafted from solid brass on a tapered pillar and circular base, it’s built tough with that authentic aged patina from years of character.

At 10.8 kg, it has a satisfying heavy, solid feel that shows real quality – far sturdier than lightweight modern versions. The polished brass catches the light beautifully, making it a standout feature for gardens or sheltered outdoor areas.
