Title: Another cast-iron dog
Post by: Pelady on March 18, 2017, 08:27:40 pm
Since we had one Dog I thought I would share another.  I have a cast-iron Scottie Dog. It was my mother's. Any idea on age I am thinking 1930 or 40. There aren't any marks on it. Does anyone recognize the manufacturer?  He is quite heavy, 11 inches nose to tail, and 9 inches tall. The original leather collar finally rotted away does that make a big difference in value?

We've got the same one ourselves.
There's some good information on them here:http://doorstops.com/ (http://doorstops.com/)

Very nice!!
My only opinion on this piece is the collar is way too big for the little guy.
He'd be more comfortable with a thinner, more light weight one.
Also, he appears to be neutered.
 :P  :-*  ::)

We have one that looks just like that, but it's recent.

Yes, many of these were 1930s and 40s. The original collar would be a real plus. Around here they're worth about $100-$150.

Yes Raven, he is a eunuch guarding my door LOL.  I have looked for a thinner collar even cat collars are too big.  I like the tartan plaid though.  Yes all original paint KC.  Thanks for the link Rauville. No numbers Mart.
