Unusual Grundsow Lodsch No. 13 groundhog figurine mounted on a rectangular cast metal base. The front of the base is marked “GRUNDSOW LODSCH 13 ON DA INSCHA GRICK” in raised lettering, making this a distinctive Pennsylvania Dutch / Pennsylvania German regional collectible. The piece features a seated groundhog with raised front paws, curved tail, and a small contrasting white eye. It has a dark brown painted finish with the lettering highlighted in a lighter color.
The figurine appears to be made from heavy cast metal or cast iron and has a simple folk-art style that displays very well. This would be an interesting addition to a collection of Groundhog Day memorabilia, Pennsylvania Dutch items, regional Pennsylvania history, cast iron figures, lodge memorabilia, or folk art.
Pre-owned condition with age-related surface wear, small marks, finish wear, and minor imperfections visible throughout. There appears to be some wear around the face/eye area as shown. No major cracks or large broken sections are visible in the photos. Please carefully review all provided photographs for the exact condition, surface finish, lettering, and details before purchasing.
