When we lived in Altrincham we found a blacksmith somewhere in the cheshire countryside who made a vane to our design for my father. Wish I could remember where it was but I am sure any decent blacksmith would knock one up for you.

One of norm Abrams programmes was devoted to these. Initially a show of several you could copy or get ideas from followed by a build of a NYW specific one.
Bound to be one YouTube somewhere. He called them whirly gigs.

Andy,
There was a man who lived by the old water works (was also a Motor Museum for a few years) in Moldsworth Nr Chester, who did wind vanes. It is many years since I got one from him and I have no idea if he is still doing them.

Fitted a adhesive privacy screen to a bathroom window yesterday so after nearly 2 years people can no longer see you sat on the bog as they walk up the path!
