<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lighter Karen, post: 10673, member: 166&quot;]I just could not resist this dog last week. He was pretty pricey especially considering his hair is shedding, the pelts are VERY dry,&nbsp; there are at least lightly split seams and he has NO EYES! </p><p>I was told he dates back to the early 1900&#039;s and came from a family who really didn&#039;t believe in giving toys to children. It was this elderly lady&#039;s grandmothers. He&#039;s a good size about 18 inches long and I was told he may be made from horsehair.</p><p>My questions are as follows</p><p>1) Do you think he is a commercially made piece or a piece of folk art ?</p><p>2) Can you guess as to the type of fur?</p><p>3) Does the Victorian era fit this animal?</p><p>4) What sort of dog would you say? I was thinking some sort of Terrier.</p><p>Thanks for any help you can offer.</p><p>Karen</p><p>the lighter collector[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
