The base of these are iron and the dogs are zinc. From the information I could find it appears that items were offered in a bronze finish or painted white, green, red, granite or blue. So, while it seems unlikely this is original finish, it is possible that they were originally painted white.<BR/><BR/>The brown sounds horrific.Mrs. Blandingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402207636108999627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-70860617638712867292008-11-18T11:35:00.000-06:002008-11-18T11:35:00.000-06:00To all who admire the dogs - I'm with you.
