Unique Weathervane

1234 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Peter D.
I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge or information about this weathervane. It came with the purchase of our house. It installs by fitting inside the chimney. When a fire is lit, smoke comes through the weathervane as the wind spins it around. Unfortunately, we had to remove



it in order to install a top mounted damper. It's copper. Should I scrap it or does it have any value?

If it is copper it definitely has value as scrap.
I would also not really call it a weather vane. It is a draft inducing wind directional chimney cap.

Or a DIWDCC for short! It weighs maybe 10 lbs. at the most. So that's maybe 30 bucks or so.
I would list it on Ebay or Craigslist and see what happens.
Ayuh,... It's pretty darn Cool lookin' to me,....

it'd look Great on my chimney....
I think it's pretty cool too and I'm sorry to see it go. But I had a horrendous draft coming through the fireplace so we needed the new top mounted damper.

But I think I'd rather put this thing on Craigslist than scrap it. Seems like a shame and a waste.
