Black and White Cat in Profile Doorstop with Alligatored Face valentine rppc [Here's a link to thoseA 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"
