What kind of antenna is this?
What is this mystery antenna with 8 elements? It is arrayed in like an 8-point star. I’m holding it at an angle by its mast on the lower right. This antenna used to be mounted via an offset mast extension directly under my large, ceiling-mounted Winegard antenna in the attic of my home. Both antennas were here when I moved in. This damaged antenna’s elements seemed to have been bent upwards (the antenna was mounted “upside down”) to create some headroom in this part of the attic and eventually 7 of the 8 elements broke off. It has no obvious markings or model numbers and may be of the same vintage as my 1960s Winegard Colortron that I’ve put back into use over 10 years ago since moving into this house. This damaged antenna’s elements are secured by rivets onto angled plastic “blocks” (or whatever they are called) that are themselves riveted to the mast.
Edit: more photos below. I just noticed the “Pat Pend”
and possibly a logo on one of the black plastic parts but I’ll have to get a closer look later.
