Hello everyone!!
In all of my countless searches for rare and unusual doorstops and bookends, I rarely encounter anything in the form of Dalmatians. So, when I do find Dalmatians, I buy them immediately. This is one of those finds. It's a pair of vintage cast iron Dalmatian bookends. These two fellas are nicely detailed and a nice size as well. I 'm not sure of the period these were made in or who the manufacturer was, but I doubt that these are too old. When I was a kid, we had a Dalmatian that was completely deaf. He was actually born deaf. But, that did not stop him from doing all the things that rambunctious dogs do and he lived a good long life as well. These each measure 9" long, 5 3/4" tall and weigh 2lbs 12oz.
Thanks very much for stopping in for a look!!

Fabulous pair of dalmatian dogs! We always called them fire house dogs and it's nice that you had one for a pet Scott
Two wonderful spotted Dalmatian pups - dogs you have! They are spectacular!
Jenni,
Thanks very much!! Our Dalmatian was a stray that wondered up to my family's home. When no one claimed him, we took him in for our own. He lived another 14 years or so.
DejaVu,
Thanks so much!! Cast iron Dalmatians seem to be one of the most difficult to find.
