Whirligig History. Whirligigs
(aka wind wheels) are whimsical,
wind-driven expressions of American folk-art that first
appeared in the United States nearly 200 years ago. The faster the wind blows, the more
furiously the figures move. Some swear the resulting
vibration keeps moles out of their lawns and gardens.
Whatever their practical use, the pure pleasure of
watching these whirring, gaily painted wind toys counts
for their timeless popularity.
Materials and Construction.
Our whirligigs are made in Maine "just down the road
apiece" from our store in Rangeley.
They are
constructed of solid white pine (no plastic or plywood),
sealed with durable acrylic enamel paints and
painstakingly finished with silk-screened and/or
hand-painted detail. They pivot freely over an included mounting
nail that can be driven into a post, deck railing, etc.
Or you can purchase specialized mounting accessories here. Our classic whirligigs are roughly 16" long by
11" high. Kayakers are a little smaller. Seaplanes
are quite large; 34" long x 24" wide.
Shipping and availability. All models except
seaplanes are in-stock and will be shipped within two
business days. Two-week lead-time for seaplanes.
