Cast Iron Doorstop "Floral Arrangement in Green Vase" Amercan, Circa 1930 SCARCE

About the Item

My title for this beautiful and excellent condition cast iron doorstop is appropriately called "Floral Arrangement in Green Vase". I have not seen this before, and it is not noted in any reference book on the subject; so I will call it "scarce". It is delicately and intricately cast in great detail; in addition, it is attractively painted in vibrant lifelike colors of red, green, blue, pink, yellow, and orange. The doorstop is all original, no repairs, no repaint--simply a gorgeous condition, great looking piece. Looking realistic, resting in a green vase, weighing a hefty 6+ pounds, and being quite rare and in this condition, "Floral Arrangement in Green Vase" would be highly sought after by discerning collectors-----a wonderful piece of Americana. Dimensions: 7 1/2" high x 6 1/2" wide x 2 3/8" deep Provenance: From my own collection since 1998 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.
