Vintage Cast Iron & Brass Fox Whip / Tail Door Stop Virginia Metalcrafters #24:
$85.00

This is a vintage cast iron and brass fox and whip/tail doorstop made by Virginia Metalcrafters.I'm not sure how old it is, but it appears to have good age.It measures 15 inches (39.4cm) tall. It is 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm) wide from ear to ear . The nose protrudes out 5 inches (12.7 cm).It has the Virginia Metalcrafters foundry mark logo on the back of his ear. It's a little hard to see, but the number 24 is stamped along the top back rim. The screw is not original, as I had to attach the two pieces which were separate for some reason.The cast iron fox has surface rust on him, but this doesn't affect the sturdiness of the doorstop. Also, a lot of the paint has worn off due to this rust.The brass whip/tail may have been shellacked years ago, or possibly originally. A lot of that has worn off.Even given the condition issues, I think this is a great-looking piece.It weighs 4 pounds 9 1/2 ounces (2.1 kg).
