Very Naive, Very Sweet Old Folk Art Smiling Dark Blue with Cream Spots Doggy Doorstop mid-century wooden toy I usually lay everything out

I usually lay everything out on the floor or table

Some foxing on both image and card and emulsion loss

and quite unusual as far as I’ve seen in terms of featuring a combination of painted and rasped (I believe that would be the correct term) detailing

and learned that it is a rare and coveted one by tin collectors

I am not a connoisseur of antique pantry boxes

Very Naive, Very Sweet Old Folk Art Smiling Dark Blue with Cream Spots Doggy Doorstop mid-century wooden toy I usually lay everything outIt was beyond me to say no to this face. About as naive as a folk art doorstop could be. And that paint is this great dark blue. With nice alligatoring to the cream, too. A little charmer. 5 7 8" t x 4 5 8" w x 3 1 2" d. Good condition, c. 1920s 30s I believe. Some wear bit of loss to the stopper wedge itself, which makes the dog lean back just a hair beyond flush, no matter.
