The "WS" usually stood for Waverly Studios:

I revised and started at $99.99 since mine has no paint and added additional info !! I can`t find a trace of ever having had paint but it had been stored in a barn !!

In great condition they're selling for $300 at best

$895 is a joke.

$300

Me too Wullie but it already has 1 watcher !!  I have never listed anything that high but,, we will see !! If it doesn't sell I may restore it like it would have been inside instead of in a barn !! The lady has another so I can get the correct colors !!

BigWullie you thought I was bad asking about the candles. Mart enjoy your $5. Purchase. I'm sure if someone restored the doorstop it would look great! :)

Actually I like the old, rusty-crusty unrestored look it has better than the chippy paint ones that I usually see. It would fit right in at my house! Good score for $5!
