Metal Doorstop Doe Deer What age/maker?

Hi guys,

I've looked and cannot find another one It is 9" wide by 9 1/2" tall Does anyone recognize anything about it? I do not see any markings

Thank you for any help

Enjoy your weekend!

 

That paint job is kinda weird.
Wondering if this was home painted.

Also wondering if this is one of the newer iron imports. There is something that is just off to my eye. Can't really put my finger on it.

I have been known to be wrong, so wait for other comments.

 

Hi Pat,
I agree with the newer part. Anytime you see red or brown rust it is newer. Old rust is black since it is Ferrous Oxide. New rust is Hydrated Ferric Oxide.

I don't know how helpful this is but I did find a bell with what looks like the same figures. Then I found what looks like the same figures on an unpainted bell with a label.

Aww man, Chinese stuff LOL Other than the place for the screw at the bottom, it is an exact match. Cool thing to learn about the color of the oxidation! Chalking it up to learning something new to look for This was free so not any loss I'll put her out at the flea market and someone will bite

Thank you, everyone, for the help I hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weekend.
