Cant figure what its used for?

[McIntosh]

Can't figure what it's used for?

Stands about 5-6" at highest point (horn) front to back about 6" and there's a piece that extends below the front wheel.

Must be a ornament of some kind.

any ideas?

Sorry I can't re size it, not sure how yet.

To re-size pics:

1) Click Start Button
2) Click All Programs
2) Click Accessories
3) Open “Paint” Program
4) Open your picture file in Paint
5) Click Image Tab
6) Click Stretch/Skew
7) Click Horizontal and Vertical, choose percentage change from 100% you would like to change to (up or down). On your pic I re-sized to 35%.
8) Save your re-sized pic as a new file in order to retain your original.

Others have differnet methods, this is what I do. Once you are used to it, you can re-size your pic in about ten seconds.

Thanks for the re-size & info about how to do it.

Being metal, would this be a Kids toy AND from what time frame (period)?

Penny-farthing, high wheel, high wheeler, and ordinary are all terms used to describe a type of bicycle with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel that was popular after the boneshaker, until the development of the safety bicycle, in the 1880s.[1] They were the first machines to be called 'bicycles'.[2]

here is a 3" metal high seater similar to one of the late 1800's styles that was made in the 70's found on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-OLD-FASHION...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2eaa430149

It don't look functional to roll with the spokes extending past the tyre. And does the long rod extend down past the bottom? My guess is a weathervane topper.

The pic below shows one that is huge, but they made them much smaller also.

Yes, there is a piece (flat) "extending" about 1" below the front wheel, it's attached to the front spoke

Garden ornament?

Since this piece is basically flat, I would say it is a Christmas tree ornament, or either a wall decor. Breezie
