Cast Iron Doorstop “Colonial Woman” American, Circa 1930

This particular example doorstop is quite substantial (over 5 pounds) it is sturdy, and serviceable; and is in excellent, all original condition, and is hand painted with a blue and white dress being the dominant colors. There is no touch up or repairs of any kind. It says “PAT. Pend” on the back side; spelled out vertically. Cast iron doorstops and coin savings banks were notoriously reproduced; all authentic examples should have this patent designation on the back side (see image). It should also be 10 1/2″ long, as reproductions will be slightly shorter on the recast than the original. “Colonial Woman” is one of the more attractive examples of doorstops in the marketplace, and a wonderful piece of Americana. It’s excellent condition makes it very desirable and sought after by collectors..

Dimensions: 10 1/2″ high x 6″ wide x 2 1/2″ deep

Note: After 40 plus years of dealing and collecting toys, and cast iron products, I am justly qualified to guarantee and present the authenticity of antique and vintage items and children’s playthings; important considering the fakes and reproductions in the marketplace.
