Cast Iron Doorstop of Cat with Glass Eyes c.1910

A novelty piece of useful furniture for those banging doors. Also possibly used as a fireside ornament to ward off evil spirits. Early 1900's cast iron doorstop, stamped with the makers numbers and marks, complete with the original glass eyes and a painted red ribbon and red lips. Of good proportions, heavy and fun. Exceptionally well and casting detail. I can only imagine this resided in someone's home for many decades being petted and stroked by many a passing child. Irresistible!
