<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 4298151, member: 88"]These were part of one of the auction table lots. They are 11 1/8" tall, 5" from front to back & 4 3/4" across the front legs. They are solid & are heavy for their size weighing 4 pounds 10 ounces. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure what they were originally made to hold up or maybe they were modified after purchase. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>They are not signed or marked in any way. The sticker on the bottom is one of the guy's handwritten things that reads "Pr. wood carved Foo Dogs large odd antique paint" along with his name & a price of $300.00. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>So where do you think they were made & could they be made of ironwood like my fisherman figurine in a recent thread?
