230 Clockwise from top left, A Boston terrier was another common figure depicted in doorstops of the time, especially in the Boston area and on the North Shore. The unidentified couple portrayed in this set lived in Rockport in the 1700s. The paintings' exact origin is unknown, since artists at the time typically did not sign names to their portraits. This painted mirror features a girl and her cat. These vintage cast- iron figures were created in factories at the turn of the 20th century, but each was hand-painted and finished to be unique. Baker Sutton is well-known for oddities like this 1920s wooden dominoes set made by Parker Brothers of Salem. Baker Sutton Antiques 115 High St., Ipswich, 978-356-0447, bakersuttonhouse.com
