I have never seen this style of lightning rod before, but I just had to pick them up. They are 33 and 39 inches tall. Copper rods and cast iron bases, no markings that I can see. I suspect they were intended to be mounted on a chimney but I don’t know for sure. Any information on these would be appreciated.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Those aren't designed for chimney use. I believe you will find they were mounted to the end of a ridge pole on a hay barn or similar structure.

Thanks fhrjr2. The side mount really threw me as I’ve never come across this style.
