In the antique the animal has pointed ears.  Its about the size of a football very heavy metal or cast iron.  Beavers have no fur on tails.  That figure shows same fur markings as body.  I found at antique shop in lansing, mi.  The owner said his dad may have gotten it
In canada?  But wasnt sure the origins.

Better pics !!  It all comes down to the ears which I can`t see well !!  Rounded ears=beaver,,,pointed ears=wolverine !!
These drawn pics just do not look right according to what we have here !! These suckers weigh 40 to 60 lbs !!

How big is this object ??  Round or oblong ??  Where did you find it ??

Thanks for taking time to post!  I agree its def not a beaver!

I say it's a Wolverine

It probably is a wolverine ...... but for sure its not a beaver.

Beavers are prey animals, wolverines are predators ...... and your pictured animal has the head, neck and sholders of a predator.

Note the difference in the ears, neck and slope of the head in these pictures.

I know what both animals look like.  In my opinion the animal on the plate looks nothing like a beaver.  Beavers don't have fur on their tails and the snout is too long also.  Imo it looks just like a Wolverine.

Pay close attention to the head and tail !!  Its a beaver,, we have them here !!

Old cast iron, steel?, looks like it was painted brown and the animal colored goldish.

What is your item made of?

The company then we would know the source of the animal.  I think it's a wolverine.

Do you want to know about the animal or the company logo ??

I say it's a Wolverine but many people are saying Danville beaver furnace company but the logos are very different.

Do you know what this is or what company?

The number on the back is 31400W.

Would love your thoughts and knowledge!
