Regular readers know that I have a favorite place to look for bargains...our downstairs trash area! Our building has trash chutes on every floor, and they feed into a separate room, but for boxes and other things that people can't put in the chute, there is an area (indoor) near the loading dock where people can put the things they don't want. I've found quite a few cool items over the last few years.
Saw this partially in a box in the trash and knew exactly what it was. I brought it upstairs.
A doorstop! (at least we still think it's a doorstop, ha). It's made of a heavy cast iron and is a dark brown/bronze color. It worked great to keep this door open (one that tends to slowly close on its own).
Nice detail of a pineapple which of course is a symbol of hospitality, welcome and good luck. It will be the perfect thing to use on a door at the new house!
An early housewarming gift! 😊
Another great find! I love the pineapple ... I have an old antique iron I use as a doorstep!
