RARE Antique Painted Cast Iron DAIRY COW Doorstop Holland Machine Co PA
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:499853 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
Here is a rare and desirable doorstop made as an advertising promotion for the New Holland Machine Co. out of New Holland, Pennsylvania in Lancaster County. Given away as a premium "COMPLIMENTS OF A.M. ZIMMERMAN" when you purchased a piece of New Holland farm machinery at his shop. Dates to the 1930s. Measures approximately 13" long.
The last one of these went recently on eBay for $1500. and I saw another sell at live auction for $2100!
CONDITION: good... overall, very dirty, barn fresh find. There is a chipped piece missing at the far right of the base, not really noticeable unless you closely inspect. Originally the cow was painted gold and it was repainted white some years later, but the gold is peeking through and the white flaking off so it may be able to return to original state.
