    Description

    Up for auction/sale is an antique (or very near antique) cast iron dog, which I believe is an Irish or English Setter resting with their head at attention. I found several of these with the 3977 embossed stamp, but most either never had or lost their golden luster, but the dates varied from 1910 -1930, so I suspect circa 1920.
    This figure consists of two pieces with a screw keeping the head in place. Some sellers referenced the head swiveling, but this one is tight and movement very minimal. It's my opinion, you wouldn't want to swivel this for fear of damaging the bronze/golden coating, but I could see where you could loosen the head and change the dogs angle of view if you were so inclined.

    I have described this cast iron piece as best I can, but to augment my description I have provided several high-resolution images from varying angles to allow for a detailed review of quality, condition, and desirability.
    This will be packaged with care to best ensure this antique piece arrives as pictured and described.
