Largest Anvil Shaped Object

[George N. M.]

I was driving on the eastern edge of Cheyenne, Wyoming and spotted this.  It appears to be in the yard of a shop.  There are no signs and there are a few other sculpture type objects scattered around.  No one appeared to be around.  I took one photo and then realized it was moving.  It is  weather vane!  It may be a comment on Wyoming's winds that you would think of an anvil as a weather vane.

I would estimate the size as about 5 feet from base to table and about 10-12 feet from horn to heel.  It appears to be made of heavy sheet metal or plate and even hollow it must weigh at least several hundred pounds.

Has anyone ever seen a larger anvil shaped object?

 

I measured it on Google Earth and it showed it to be about 16 feet long.  I may have underestimated the size.

Edges need a radius. Very cool, I love it. I know of an "anvil shaped trailer" I THINK trailer, might be a van.  

There's an Air Taxi service that has a Cessna float plane wind vane on the roof of their hangar. The plane is cool but I think I like the anvil better. 

Thanks for sharing the pic George.

Lets see if I can find a pic of PTree's "Anvilstream" trailer he camps in at Quad-State

That is super cool George.

That's the one I was thinking of Thomas. If I were young, ambitious and lacked what little sense I have I'd be thinking about picking up an old double deck bus and making an anvil motor home.

Another reason for the medial ridge on the underside of the horns of anvils from Mousehole Forge (aka The Undisputed King of Anvils): better aerodynamics!

For slicing the moose when it comes over the roof of the tow vehicle!
