Featured AGE/INFO OF ART DECO(?) NUDE LADY TOBACCO PIPE STAND?

I found this beauty at a local thrift store a few days ago. Is there anyway to tell it's age?
There are no markings anywhere!

 

PS - It is made of some type of metal and has some weight to it.
Thanks again

 

It's a pipe holder, and probably post-WWII. Beyond that you'll need someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

 

That should send any good feminist into a complete meltdown IMHO!!!

 

Hope so!

 

Nice!
Did you put a magnet to it?

 

I would put this before WWII. 1920s-30s.
Pot metal with a bronze coating

 

Art nouveau.

I would lean more toward Art Deco. But I'm not always right.

 

No?
I'm crushed.

 

Pity the maker was no good at faces.

 

Maybe she's showing that she doesn't approve of smoking.

 

careful what you wish for...........

 

Holds your pipe and she cooks too? Have seen some meerschaum pipes that would be the perfect complement to this holder, but guaranteed to bring on apoplexy in some.

 

If you really want to cheese off the current crop of women's rights activists, there's always the joke about the pygmy woman with the flat head. It's not very funny unless you're a caveman, but since this pipe holder fits well into man cave decor....

 

We are going to be all over the place with dating this. I can see why Evelyb said post WWII. 1950's was my first thought.

Clearly the use of nudes in ashtrays, etc. was kind of a Deco thing, but the quality on this is kind of low to my eye. I would expect a 1930's piece to be a little more carefully done.

Here is an Etsy 1950's ashtray pipe rest with a nude. Not the same piece, but if the seller is correct about the date, seems like this subject matter was still being used,

And certainly could be just a souvenir type 1930's piece, just my 2 cents.

 

It looks a lot like the nudes made by Louis V Aronson which were usually marked L.V.A. or A.M.W (Art Metal Works) but not always marked and sometimes the mark is really weak, almost invisible. There are some pieces like lighters, hood ornaments, lamps and more with the woman in the same pose.

Deferring to Anund on this. Certainly looks like some of those in the link. Good ID!

 

A magnet doe not stick to it - what does that mean?
Also - I said art deco because that's what it looked like to me; I have no idea when it's from & was hoping to find out here - and now might have if it's a Louis Aronson (or someone copying his style would still put it in same era, right?)
Thanks all!
