Do you know what this is?

Way, way back in the day, you had to have a television antenna to get good reception if the rabbit ears (sometimes with aluminum foil flags attached) on top of the television set didn't work well enough.  And the antenna had to point in the right direction.  I'm sure those of us who watched television in the 1950s and 1960s vividly remember standing outside at the bottom of the antenna pole, twisting it to change direction, until the person inside shouted "Good!" or "Stop!"

This antenna is on the house next door to us.  The house just sold; I wanted to get the photo before the new owner takes the antenna down.  I'm pretty sure they won't be using it. :-)
