This is an original late 1800's or early 1900's doorstop which came out of the home of Dr. Fulton of Bristol, Rhode Island. This is made of cast iron. It weighs 5 pounds and is approximately 10 1/2" long by approximately 7 3/4" high by approximately 2 1/4 " in depth at the base.. The motif is a duck looking at a ladybug which is perched on a plant.T are a few flakes of missing paint and some crackling of paint. This is not a reproduction. It is old. It is being sold as found. T are no manufactures marks on the item. In the past I have been asked questions as to how one can tell an old doorstop from the new items coming out of China. The best way is to know the provenance.I know w this item was for at least the last 50 years. Another way to tell is based on the weight. Metal was fairly cheap when this was made,tfore the manufactures did not skimp on the use of medal.If anyone has any doubt as to the age, please do not bid. This will be a great addition to any collection. This is an original late 1800's or early 1900's doorstop which came out of the home of Dr. Fulton of Bristol, Rhode Island. This is made of cast iron.
