This early 20th-century American cast brass boot scrape takes the delightful form of a Dachshund, blending functionality with charm. Cast with remarkable detail, the dog’s long, low body supports a fin-like scrape along its back—perfect for cleaning boots or shoes before entering the home. Its expressive face features a long pointed snout, floppy ears, and a watchful gaze, while four stout legs with wide feet provide stability. A clever curled tail serves as a built-in handle, making it easy to move the piece wherever it’s needed. Designed for outdoor use at the threshold, this sturdy and stylish companion also makes a whimsical doorstop or decorative accent indoors. Whether stationed beside a garden path or greeting guests in a mudroom, this little brass Dachshund brings both utility and personality to any space—a testament to early American casting and timeless design.
