This is a vintage cast metal weathervane (or weather vane) from 1986, manufactured by Sexton USA.

It features a classic design: a detailed bird (likely a stylized pheasant, quail, or similar game bird, given the plump body, detailed feathering, and small head crest) mounted on a full directional arrow shaft. The arrow includes traditional elements like the pointed head, fletching (feathers) at the tail end, and the counterbalance weight/orb on the opposite side.

The markings you photographed are key:

• “SEXTON” (the maker/brand)

• “USA”

• “1966 the production year)

Sexton produced a line of decorative cast metal wall art, plaques, and ornamental items in the mid-20th century through the 1980s (often with patriotic/Americana themes), and this appears to be one of their rarer functional/decorative weathervane pieces — likely intended for outdoor mounting on a roof, barn, shed, or garden post, though many ended up used indoors or as wall decor due to their detailed casting and size.

It’s not a high-end copper weathervane (like the handmade ones from modern artisans), but rather a more affordable, mass-produced cast metal version with a bronze/gold-tone finish that has developed a nice aged patina over the decades.
