Vintage K&O Japan Solid Brass Dog Charm / Miniature Figurine For Sale

Vintage K&O Japan Solid Brass Dog Charm / Miniature Figurine

This vintage mid-century brass dog figurine charm was made by K&O Japan and is a collectible miniature animal piece from the post-WWII era.

Charming mid-century solid brass miniature dog marked “K&O Japan” on the base. This sweet floppy-eared hound design is often compared to a dachshund or basset hound, though it is a stylized novelty figure rather than a specific breed.

Produced in Japan during the post-WWII era (approximately late 1940s–1960s), this piece was originally sold as a novelty charm, small figurine, or collectible trinket. Today it makes a wonderful addition to any vintage brass animal collection.

Crafted from solid cast brass, it has developed a beautiful natural aged patina consistent with authentic mid-century pieces. The original loop on the back remains intact, allowing it to be used as a charm, key fob, or simply displayed as a miniature figurine.

This is a genuine vintage item — not a modern reproduction.
