A flat-backed pig made of cast iron, apparently a prototype. Dated April 1948 this may have been intended for an industrial purpose but works very well as a paperweight. The top is rough where it was attached to another pig when cast but the figure has good detail. Measures almost 4 inches in length, 2-12 inches in height, 1/2 inch in depth and weighs 14 ounces. The writing reads "First Cast/No8.11-12B.Fcs./South Wks./April 1948".
