This is an antique lightning rod. A lightning rod was used to "catch" a bolt of lightning and disperse its energy through a ground wire. The glass ball was used to determine if a lightning strike had occurred. If the ball was broken, it was likely a strike happened. This antique lightning rod is in good condition. It comes with a glass ball and weathervane. The glass ball has a "Moon and Star" pattern that dates from the early 1900's. The lightning rod measures 59.25" tall. The glass ball is 4.25" in diameter.
