This is such a cute little dachshund! He's a (vintage and used condition though it doesn't look 'used') pipe holder! He was sold by Comoy's of London and made in Italy. He measures 5 1/2" long X 2" wide X 3 1/4" tall and is brown in color (he's supposed to look worn with the brown wash color).
He's in great vintage condition---1950's approx. He used to have a made in sticker on the bottom but that's gone now.
He'd be so cute for the dachshund lover's collection!
Let me know if you have any questions!
