This iron dog was manufactured by the Harper Supply Company in Chicago, Illinois. In the 1940s, its mould was destroyed for brass. Its tail is used to open the dog's mouth for use as a nutcracker.

This object was digitized as part of a Madison Historical class visit to Liberty Middle School in spring 2020. It was brought to class by Jeremiah Harmon.
