Hello everyone!!
I finally got to do a bit of treasure hunting today and found this cast Iron French Bulldog doorstop for $25.00!!!! It was made between 1930-1940 and I believe this one was made by LITTCO. It measures 7 3/4” tall, 6 3/8” wide and weighs 4 1/2lbs. All that it needed was a good cleaning. It’s in very good condition for its age, though I’m not so sure it’s the original paint. But, for $25.00 I felt like I got a true bargain.!
Hubley made one and catalogued it as French Bulldog #304 and National foundry also made one, but theirs had to be number 144 stamped on its belly.
Thanks very much for stopping in for a look at my French Bulldog doorstop!!

Thanks so very much!! The eyes make him irresistible. He cleaned up well, but still has that wonderful patina.

Love the expression on his face..
Great French Bulldog you got there Scott. Last week I saw a Boston terrior that was facing straight ahead. Have you ever seen one? The price went high, and I didn't know if it was a repro or not so I passed on it.
Thanks Penny!! I can't help but love that expression as well.
Thanks hotairfan!! Yes, I not only have heard of the forward facing Boston Terrier, but I happen to own one. They were made by O.C.C CO. and are probably the most highly sought after. Thy are extremely rare. check out my link below.
