This was passed down to me through the family. I'm pretty sure it is cast iron and probably had whiskers at one time. Other than that I don't know much about it. It's tiny- about 3/4 inch by 1 inch. Most of it's paint has come off. I get a kick out of her!

The tip of the tail sure looks like bronze to me.
