Unique folk art crafted make-do wrought iron figural insect boot jack. The central part of this amazing creation is formed from an earlier door strap hinge. Likely, a customer provided the hinge to the blacksmith to reduce the final price. Penny feet, one with numerous dots. A fantastically ingenious design on this over sized gem. Discovered at a family estate sale in the Carolinas. Excellent old mellow surface on this whimsical primitive country example. Included is a similar type of strap hinge.
