This charming piece features three adorable puppies huddled together and tangled up in a molded rope leash.

- Width: 11 inches
- Height: 8 1/4 inches
- Depth: 4 inches

Excellent original antique condition with a gorgeous natural patina. This piece retains a substantial amount of its original cold-painted finish, showing wonderful multi-tone texture on the puppies, green grass, and dark base accents. The paint shows minor, uniform rub wear along the high points and edges consistent with its 100-year age. The hollow reverse side features a clean, uncleaned sand-cast iron cavity. No cracks, breaks, welds, or modern touch-ups. Please review all high-resolution photos for close-up details.
