Dog in--and out of--the Doghouse! Charming Old Squeeze Toy brass cheese pen holder These came in plastic sleeves

These came in plastic sleeves with slots that fit them exactly

Dog in--and out of--the Doghouse! Charming Old Squeeze Toy brass cheese pen holder These came in plastic sleevesFinding and sharing delight is more central to my critical eye endeavor than anything else, and so of course yes to this little squeeze toy dog house! I've never see another like it, and could spend half my day squeezing the handle to make the doghouse door raise and this little dog emerge. My guess might be German, but no mark on it; maybe just someone clever's own little creation. Works great, sound and stable, infinitely rewarding! Dog house
