Circa … more This Really is a Great Looking & Very Unusual Cast Iron Figurative Dachshund Dog Combination Doorstop - Boot Scraper. Circa 1930s. It has No Maker Marks but I am Sure that it is American in Origin. It is Quite Large in Size Measuring 21 1/2 inches Long. It is Also Very Heavy - Solid Cast Weighing Well Over 24 Pounds. This would have actually been made to be Used on a Porch Setting. The Tail is Designed - Acts as a Finger Hole so that it can be Carried & Moved Easily. Reason being you would not want to scrape your muddy boots on the porch so you could move it to the lawn. It is in Very Good All Original Condition with No Damage or Repairs to the Casting. NOTE! that it must have spent a long time on a Damp - Shaded Porch as it has Remnants of Green Surface Moss that has Since Dried Out and Calcified Over the Years - This Giving it a Wonderful Surface Texture and Authentic Old Look that Cannot be Duplicated - Displays Beautifully.
It Measures Overall 7 3/4 inches Tall x 21 1/2 inches Long x 7 inches Wide.
