Can you get a little better light and take a closer shot of the metal ?? Also a pic of the center section of the N,S arm so we can see how it was made !! With the price of these lately there are many fakes on the market !! I say fakes as opposed to reproductions because you can usually tell the repro`s pretty quickly !! You say you bought it from a farm,, what did you pay for it ?? Who told you it was late 19th century,,and how did you find out about this being for sale !! Answers are important,, not trying to be nosey !!
