Black and White Cat in Profile Doorstop with Alligatored Face valentine rppc but it's so charmingA bit of an unusual one in my experience for this cat being oriented in profile, and what an excellent face, I think, subtly smiling (the smile carved rather than painted) and looking very much as if holding a secret or having just swallowed a canary! Great character, well constructed, and with excellent alligatoring to the creamy white paint of the face on both sides. It also seems like a pretty early on to me, maybe 1920s 30s? 7 5 8" t x 8 1 16"
