    Hello everyone!!
    Another extremely rare doorstop in my collection is this antique Dutch Boy doorstop. This one is unlike most any doorstop that you'll see, as it's made of wood and cast iron. The Dutch Boy is solid hand painted wood and the base is cast iron. Very few of the wood doorstops survived the test of time, but due to the condition of this one, it's evident that this one was kept indoors and cared for by it's original owner. Notice the square nuts on the backside that secures the Dutch Boy to the cast iron base. These were not used on later doorstops in the 1900's. This one dates back to the late 1800's, though no one knows who the manufacturer was. He stands 11 5/8" tall and 10 1/8" wide. He weighs in at 5lbs 12oz.

      Phil,
      Thank you!! It is beautiful paintwork for sure. It's only lost a couple of small chips of paint over the past 125+ years.

      Very cool. For some reason I immediately thought of the crackerjack boy when I saw it..
    4. jscott0363 jscott0363, 1 year ago
      Thanks Dave!! Yes, at first glance, he does indeed remind me of the Cracker Jack kid as well.

      Adorable Dutch boy bookend, reminds me of Hans Brinker but with wooden shoes - wonderful antique piece Scott

      He's very nice Scott. I'm detecting a hint of Van Gogh by the way he's painted. :)

      Jenni,
      Thanks!! He sure does look like Hans Brinker, never noticed that before.

      Mike,
      Thanks!! I wish I could take credit for that paint job and I don't believe Vincent did this one either:) , He's 100% original, which is absolutely amazing, given his age. He's only missing a couple of chips of paint toward the bottom.
