Antique Cast Iron Door Stop Ally Sloper. This early 20th century cast iron figural doorstops have been made in the form of English cartoon character Alexander “Ally” Sloper. Ally was introduced to readers in 1867 and appeared in print regularly until 1916. He was “a Victorian ne’er-do-well with a good heart and a life of misadventure”, recognized for his less than desirable personality traits which included laziness and sneakiness. These characteristics gave rise to the name ally sloper due to Ally’s ability to “slope off” down an ally or elsewhere in order to dodge work or avoid other responsibilities. Ally has been depicted attired in a bowtie and tails along with his ubiquitous battered top hat. He holds an umbrella in his left hand and stands with his face in profile, emphasizing the shape and size of his bulbous nose. His canine companion is seated next to him, and regards the viewer with his head cocked quizzically to the side.
