Material: Cast iron, original paint
Dimensions: W 10 x D 30 x H 6 cm
Quantity: One only
Condition: Good
Honest wear — marks and patina. Everything visible is photographed.
Cast iron crocodile with a hinged jaw and serrated teeth. The tail is the lever — a walnut goes between the jaws, press the tail down, and it cracks. It still does the job it was cast for, and it sits well on a bar, a desk or a bookshelf.
Made in England from the 1920s. The form barely changed across the century it stayed in production.
The original red paint has worn back to bare grey iron across the ridged spine, the snout and the feet, and holds in the hollows between the scales. Heavy in the hand, and the hinge is still tight.
Photographed honestly, in natural light, exactly as it is. No surprises when your new favourite thing arrives.
Everything we sell is 100% authentic. No reproductions, no replicas.
