Description
A charming ten-piece collection of vintage mid-century miniature metal animal figurines. This historical lot features a wonderful variety of domestic dog breeds, a kangaroo with a joey, a cat, and a large prize pig. The collection perfectly showcases early-to-mid 20th-century toy-making techniques, splitting across solid cast-iron miniatures and hollow-base "slush-mold" white metal/lead composition figures famously distributed by companies like Barclay, Manoil, and Grey Iron during the dime-store era. Two (2) Large Lying German Shepherds / Alsatians: Matching pair of hollow-form slush-mold figures with a smooth caramel-brown painted finish and red accent eyes (approx. 3" in length) Seated Cocker Spaniel: Detailed black-painted cast textured miniature. Seated Dalmatian / Spotted Hound: Highly distressed white and black spotted hound dog in a seated posture. Standing Scottish Terrier (Scottie): Classic white/cream-painted miniature terrier. Standing Wire Fox / Airedale Terrier: Small tri-color hand-painted hound dog. Alert Watchdog / German Shepherd: Sitting posture with an integrated green collar detail. Alert Standing Cat: Cream-colored miniature kitten with defined tail. Standing Kangaroo with Joey: A rarer wildlife casting depicting a mother kangaroo with a joey visible in her pouch. Large Red-Brown Boar / Pig: The largest and heaviest piece in the lot, depicting a robust farm swine with an open hollow-cast belly.
