Mostly, I just tossed some keywords into a Google image search to get a cursory sense of the varied and interesting world of cast metal door stops, something I'd barely considered before today. And holy cow, there are a lot of pretty interesting things to discover. You could fill a haunted house with all the great black cats out there (almost as if cats sitting immobilized in one's doorway was some kind of universal <i>thing</i>). I'm going to keep my eyes open for a few of them for the houses I myself haunt.<br /><br />Also gonna keep my eyes peeled for one of <a href="https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/halloween-girl-doorstop-bolts-to-record-72800-at-bertoia/" rel="nofollow">these</a>. Wow.<br /><br />Your new *cast *metal *deco *nude *girl *figure *door stop is really cool, by the way. And, apparently, unique in all the world!
