Weathervane #198
Today's weathervane was sent in by a reader, but he doesn't remember where he photographed it. He knows it was either in Maine or in Essex County, Massachusetts.
Can you help identify this weathervane? If so, post a comment below, or email me at vrojomit@gmail.com

Author Glenn Knoblock says he used to live in Exeter, so this makes sense!

Haven't found it but did have a neat time checking out comparables in Google Images.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Pam! The clock tower is unusual because there is no space for the pendulum. Under the clock is the bell. Usually the bell is above the clock. I'm still looking...
DeleteMystery solved! It is the bell tower at the Academy Building at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire. Two people identified it from the red flag with the rampant lion.
