I finally got my souvenir from our trip to Maine last summer installed.
It came from a cupola and weather vane shop along the highway that goes from the mainland to Mt. Desert Island. I hesitated to buy it because of the cost but LOML egged me on. At the time I thought I'd build a cupola and bought the pole for that mounting but I'm not sure when I'll get to that so I called them a couple weeks ago and bought a shorter pole and a mouthing bracket so I could start enjoying it as it should be rather than in the corner of the family room.
