<h1>Comic Weather vanes & Antique Whirlygigs, Folk Art Whirligigs</h1>
<p> - <strong>Antique folk art whirligigs</strong> are whimsical, wind-driven
expressions of American folk art that first appeared in this country nearly
200 years ago. Traditional whirligig designs depict common characters and activities
of early American rural life. <strong>Antique whirlygigs</strong> are highly
prized collectibles today.</p>
<p>Old-timers called them <strong>comic weathervanes</strong>. The faster the
wind blows, the more furiously the figures move. Some swear the resulting vibration
also drives away moles.</p>
