    Hello,
    I've had this for a little while, thought it was very interesting.
    Being solid cast iron it's quite heavy. The finish looks original, and upon close examination appears to have some age,( it may be an old piece, it's hard to tell ).
    Mostly I was intrigued by the 'BT' on the rump. What could that possibly mean?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

      Neat piece. Would certainly fill out a collection of buffalo memorabilia.
