    Description

    1890's Large Advertising Cast Iron Frog Countertop Display, or Door Stop "Santa Ana (Calif.) Iron Works".  The advertising is on the underside of the frog, and there is some original paint on the underside too, the color seems to be varying shades of brown.  The paint is no longer on the top side of the frog, but it is clearly old looking.  Cast Iron, approximately 5 1/2" long by 4 1/2" wide, and 3" tall. There is some light surface rust in the top side crevices and on the under side also, but not much.  It displays well.  The Santa Ana Iron Works was founded in the 1880's and was the oldest Iron works in the county, and the largest, occupying a full city block.  Sadly, it no longer exists.  The frog weighs several pounds, so I will ship it in a USPS flat rate box to the buyer.
