Old Cast Iron Dog on Heavy Iron Base lunch box Definitely they have some ageI think of this more as a door stop than a paperweight (which is how the dealer I purchased it from described it) weighing in at 3 1 2 pounds, it seems a bit of overkill for holding down a stack of papers, though this pup (a retriever, or a setter?) certainly looks fetching perched atop a pile. Late 19th century I would guess, it shows all of those years, with much of the dog's creamy brown paint worn away, along, it seems, with a piece of his jowl!
