Bronze German Shepherd Figural Match Striker c.1930’s-40’s

This vintage bronze match striker features a beautifully detailed German Shepherd. Measuring 5 3/4″ tall x 5 7/8″ long x 3″ wide, it is in excellent condition.

It was made, we believe in Germany during the 1930’s through the 1940’s. Occasionally, we see other such pieces, featuring other animals, such as owls that look very similar.

While the dog is seated on one side of the marble base, the striker is nestled inside a tree trunk, positioned on the opposite side.
The entire piece is wonderfully detailed, and in good working condition.
