    Hello everyone!!
    Here's "Left" facing Boston Terrier doorstop that I just acquired. As you can see, he still retains most of his original paint. Only about 10% of the Boston Terrier doorstops made were "Left" facing. Most you see today are "Right" facing. This one apparently once had a little collar as he still has evidence of where a collar once was. He's a two piece design held together with a single screw. I'm not sure which foundry made this fellow. He measures 9 3/4" tall, 9 3/8" long and he weighs in at 5.9 lbs. Very happy to be adding this fellow to my collection of doorstops.

    Thanks for stopping in for a look!!!!

      Thanks Jenni!! I feel pretty lucky to find a left facing Boston, especially with minimal paint loss. I have a few other left facing, but with very little of their original paint. So, this one is my best left facing Boston.

      Thanks Eileen!! I call him vintage as he's not quite 100 years old yet. He's from the early 1900's, probably 1920's. There are many reproductions of this one, but I find that the reproductions are a bit fatter than this originals and the castings are much rougher than the original. Also, the reproductions seams are never quite as tight as the originals. I own a couple of the reproductions and they're crudely cast and not painted as well as the originals.
