Wonderful Old Handmade Penguin Doorstop with Alligator Paint mesh bait box There is some loss ofThis could be my very favorite old wooden cutout doorstop ever. 1. It's a penguin. 2. The flapping position of the flippers. 3. The feet. 4. The paint job, including this great painterly use of gray for outlining and shading the belly.

Great structural condition.
