That piece catches the most wind, but that’s where the memorial info is so even a pair of scissors ruins them being a memorial (while simultaneously making them somewhat quieter). Hopefully it’ll warm up a bit (like above freezing) & I’ll seet them outside, coming or going.

Whoa. Those are the exact ones I have on my porch but mine are a mini version. Those are 30" long; mine about 8-10". There is no inscription on mine. I hope the tinkling of mine doesn’t bother anyone.

You’re sick and I love it.

Wouldn’t that make them a sculpture? 😛

I only used that as a picture, but I just measured; from the top of the hook to the bottom of the ‘paddle’ is 30" end-to-end.

I apologize. Snark has no place in this post.
