This lot features a unique original vigilante wind chime. This piece has a depicts a clay man in the hangman's noose. By pulling the lever the man falls and his feet act as a wind chime. The unique piece is a play on the history of Montana and the Montana vigilantes. In the first two months of 1864, the Montana vigilantes hanged 24 men, including Plummer. Most historians agree that these hangings, while technically illegal, punished only genuinely guilty men. However, the vigilantes' decision to hang Jack Slade seems less justified. The piece is in good condition and comes with a shipping container for the chime. Measures: 24" H x 10" W x 13" D
