Boston bull terrier metal figure...

[Snee]

My mom says she got this when she was 3 from an elderly lady she lived next to, so I have no idea how old this is. It's 10" tall and 9" long. It's a cast metal covered in enamel. It has absolutely no markings to indicate the maker or anything. I can't find anything online about it, so if anybody can help me find out how old it is or what it could be worth, I'd really greatly appreciate it!

Snee: There are only 2 Famous BB Terriers that I know of! One was the Buster Brown Mascot, Tige, & the other was Pete, from the Our Gang
Comedies! There may have been a more modern one, but I can't remember for sure!

Looks like the same one! Why, with the talk about modern repros, etc, they sure don't fetch much $$$$ Why Bother?
