Cast Iron Doorstop "Colonial Woman" American, Circa 1930
About the Item
"Colonial Woman" cast iron doorstop was manufactured by the Littco Products Company, Littlestown, Pennsylvania; circa 1930 during the heart of the depression. It was distributed to gift shops and sold locally on the east coast (United States). The company was established in 1916 by Luther and Emory Snyder. They made a plethora of iron products, including bookends, doorstops and sculptures. They were a subsidiary of the Littlestown Hardware and Foundry Company which is still in business today. "Colonial Woman" doorstop is referenced on page 20 in the book "Doorstops" by Jeanne Bertoia published in 1982.
This particular example doorstop is quite substantial (over 5 pounds) it is sturdy, and serviceable; and is in excellent, all original condition, and is hand painted with a blue and white dress being the dominant colors. There is no touch up or repairs of any kind. It says "PAT. Pend" on the back side; spelled out vertically. Cast iron doorstops and coin savings banks were notoriously reproduced; all authentic examples should have this patent designation on the back side (see image). It should also be 10 1/2" long, as reproductions will be slightly shorter on the recast than the original. "Colonial Woman" is one of the more attractive examples of doorstops in the marketplace, and a wonderful piece of Americana. It's excellent condition makes it very desirable and sought after by collectors..
Dimensions: 10 1/2" high x 6" wide x 2 1/2" deep
Note: After 40 plus years of dealing and collecting toys, and cast iron products, I am justly qualified to guarantee and present the authenticity of antique and vintage items and children's playthings; important considering the fakes and reproductions in the marketplace.
