Hey friends. I dug this thing up a few days ago and posted on here. It was pretty rusted out so I used some electrolosys on it and it cleaned up ok. I did some research on it and I found a website that has these things. It is actually a water spanial dog made of iron. It was made by A.C Williams company. I actually only have a half of it. it actually ahs another half that goes together and makes a whole dog. It is a Still bank.

The site said it dates 1901-1930. If it was whole and in good shape it would fetch about 200.00 to 275.00. Oh well still a rare find for me though. I enjoyed looking up the info. thanks for looking!!
