Description:  This carved wooden dog was made in Germany and was probably a home shoeshine kit.  The brush currently with it is not original (although old on its own), and I don't know what the front paws held.  Still, it's a fun piece of work, well done and expressive.  The eyes are glass, which is another sign of age and quality.  Date is almost certainly pre-WWII, but I'm not going to guess more precisely.  The brush is marked Geo. Steuerle & Son, Broadway Department Store.
