Caring for your antique cast iron figurals : I find the best was to bring out your item’s best color, preserve it’s original paint, and to protect it from too dry or too humid an environment is to clean it with original pledge. Other than dry feather dusting, I use the original pledge about 2-3x a year. There are museum waxes that are for preservation but I would suggest if this is the route you choose for care you let a professional handle the job. You may ask yourself,’How can something so’durable’ be so’rare’? Many Victorian and turn of the century cast iron and metal figural items are rare or completely lost because of wartime efforts that took place for nearly half of the last century. During the Great War, World War II and beyond, there were constant neighborhood drives to collect all non-essential cast iron and metal goods. These items were then melted down for their materials to help with the manufacturing for our wars necessities and armament. Other special finds are those items which would have been for children, which typically would have been used vigorously then thrown away once out-grown. To Collector’s these figural sculptures are basically time capsules of a bygone era, wearing their beautiful battered paint proudly. They also have intense historical value as authentic artistic creations of the United States of America’s industrial age pioneer heroes. So, that’s why if you find one of these special collectibles, you should consider it a prize, and if you are a serious collector, you probably consider it priceless. Random Figural Cast Iron Trivia : Doorstops were made as doorstops, but heavy cast iron bookends were made as both during this era’s industrial age. Today many antique cast iron bookends are used as doorstops for their weight, aesthetic, and functionality; and likewise antique doorstops are sometimes now used simply as art sculptures. Susie, The Dutchess of Arkansas & Her Business : Since I find these little treasures everywhere I can not verify the previous life led by many of my pieces. I always leave feedback once I have received yours, this way I know your product made it into your waiting happy hands.
