What a cutie! This metal Skye Terrier has a nice lusterware or pearlized paint covering. Definitely vintage, but age unknown. The paint is nearly all intact with only the most minor of flea bites to the finish. The eyes, nose and mouth are painted as well. A magnet does not stick. I'm surprised that it isn't cast iron and don't know the type of metal from which it was made. It is heavy for its size. It is 1 1/3" high and 2" front to rear. $20.00
