At a recent upscale antique auction the sweet face on this kitty really caught my eye. My opinion is that the paint is original, red bow, green eyes, and it would probably date to the 30's or 40's. Other listings with similar cat molds were all banks but this girl is solid and heavy so I think it was intended as a doorstop. It would make a great gift for the cat enthusiast. Please see all photos to judge condition for yourself and ask if you have any questions or need additional pictures. I am not an authority on cast iron and have done my best to represent this item honestly. 4.75" tall, 3.5" at the widest point, 3.25" deep 5.5 pounds
