Woof! Bow wow! Arf! How precious is your new puppy? He's gorgeous because he's so low maintenance and absolutely functional. Yes, these are reproductions of vintage door stops, in cast iron and enameled paint. Strong enough for a heavy door, yet small enough to use as book ends on a shelf. They are "half puppy" (see image) so the rear is hollow and able to be wedged beneath a door at the tail, or flattened against your books on a shelf. All images in natural sunlight, and the paint is distressed to emulate a vintage finish... ps - did you know the Boston Terrier is the first American Breed? Approximately.
