Boston bull terrier metal figure...

[Snee]

My mom says she got this when she was 3 from an elderly lady she lived next to, so I have no idea how old this is. It's 10" tall and 9" long. It's a cast metal covered in enamel. It has absolutely no markings to indicate the maker or anything. I can't find anything online about it, so if anybody can help me find out how old it is or what it could be worth, I'd really greatly appreciate it!

looks like "buster browns" dog to me. buster brown was a brand of shoes back in the day.

Snee: There are only 2 Famous BB Terriers that I know of! One was the Buster Brown Mascot, Tige, & the other was Pete, from the Our Gang
Comedies! There may have been a more modern one, but I can't remember for sure!

Looks like the same one! Why, with the talk about modern repros, etc, they sure don't fetch much $$$$ Why Bother?
