    Hello everyone!!
    I've always wanted an antique early 1900's wedge style Swan doorstop by Spencer & Sons of Guilford, Conn. in my collection. I still don't have one, but I do have this reproduction of that particular doorstop. When I found this it was painted solid snow white with a black eye and beak, which was completely the wrong colors for this doorstop. So, I decided to repaint this reproduction to look exactly like the real thing. This one was only $20, but if it were the original, as seen in pic #4, it'd be worth several thousand dollars. For now, I'm pleased to simply own the reproduction of this wonderful Spencer & Sons Swan doorstop. It measures 13 1/2" long and 7 7/8" tall.

    Thanks for stopping in for a look at my Swan doorstop!!!
    Scott

      Jenni,
      Thanks very much!! I do hope to own an original one of these days, but have yet to find one in all of my searches. So, I'll just have to settle for this reproduction for now:)

      Thanks so very much!! Yes, the more rare the doorstop is, this higher the value becomes.
