Scottie Dog Folk Art Doorstop in Nice Old Blue Paint carved snake and happily soIt's the great old blue paint with yellow details that really sold me on this one, which also makes this Scottie a bit of an unusual pup! I know that he was pulled out of an old estate in Deerfield, NH just the other day, right in time for me to find him! 10 1 8" t x 6" w x 5" d and in good, sturdy shape, with no losses, just nice wear and softening to the blue paint, c. 1940s I would think.
