Old Puppy Doorstop with Pink Bow and Wounded Ear alligator With a little research I

With a little research I found an exact match of this guy on First Dibs (listed by a Belgian seller at $450)--ridiculous

and our author really loved her onomatopoeia--the poems are filled with snaps

Maybe made as a finial of some sort

it would make the perfect bedside vase for a cabin in the woods

and this one has a 3 inch caliper that pulls out at one end

Old Puppy Doorstop with Pink Bow and Wounded Ear alligator With a little research II was sort of thinking this of this pup as a complement to the rebus plates I just listed; with its perfect pink bow, it looks decidedly French to me! At some point along the way it lost a chunk of one ear, which I rather think just makes it look extra alert and ready to (be thrown in a handbag and) go! 8 1 8" t x 4 5 8" w x 5 1 2" d. Nice aging to the great paint job. The doorstop piece wiggles a tiny bit but is still well attached.
