Martin Manor Antique Hardware. Old and vintage hardware from the past and including some recent items. Old Frog or Toad Antique Door Stop Cast Iron 1880’s Vintage Paint Folk Art 5 Lbs. These old antique cast iron frogs were used as door stops or paper weights. A great authenic 1800’s decoration that would add beauty and charm to your home or office. These were used to hold a door open or just as decorations. Be new or a reproduction. Usually the heavier they are, the older they are. Reproductions were made light to save cast iron. The oldest frogs were heavy becuase they were using up iron at the end of a pour. The paint on the frog is hunter green. The paint has a few wear. Spots giving it a great old look. The iron has nice texture and the paint has a few bubbles and runs. Every one of these frogs I have ever seen was painted different. It is 4 1/2 wide. It is 3 tall. It is 4.9 pounds of cast iron.
