Up for your consideration is this unusual antique cast iron door stop. The drunken English figure is standing over a barrel of Old Tom gin and along the base it reads “Don’t You Tell”. We are unsure of the exact age of this door stop – but from what we’ve gathered from Internet sources and a few antique dealers, it most likely dates to the 1850s.
Overall, this door stop is in very good age-appropriate condition. Please note that the words along the front of the base are not very legible and there is a good amount of rust on the back of the door stop. We noted no cracks or missing pieces.
It stands 16 1/2″ tall – the base measures 11″ by 3 1/2″. It weighs 16 lbs.
We will insure this during shipment.
If you want more pictures or have more questions, please ask.
