| Centuries ago, weathervanes were one of
the first instruments to detect changes in the weather by pointing
in the direction from which the wind was blowing. The Tower Of
Winds in Athens, Greece (48 BC) is among the earliest archaeological
examples, topped with its Triton weathervane. Over the years, a
variety of ornaments have been created to display various cultural,
religious, and patriotic themes. Whitehall Products, the
world's largest manufacturer of weathervanes, offers over 50
different styles. Many styles include a variety of color choices
including traditional black, aged verdigris or rust, polished copper
ornaments, gold-bronze ornaments, and even hand painted ornaments.
Whitehall's more than 60 years of weathervane making experience
assures you will receive a carefully crafted and meticulously
detailed weather instrument that will provide a lifetime of
enjoyment.
From huge full-bodied Classic Directions to 24" Accent
Directions, Whitehall is your complete source for all of your

 Makers
of the World's Largest Weathervane
Erected on the shores of White Lake, just a few short blocks from
Whitehall Products' manufacturing plant, is the world's largest
weathervane. Built by employees of Whitehall Products, the
weathervane stands 48 feet tall, with a 26 foot long arrow that will
point into the wind with the slightest breeze. The schooner
ornament was chosen to symbolize the lumbering and shipping heritage
of the area.
