LVRR Pup cast iron figurine

Have scene these on occasion on Ebay and I have one in Cornell Red. Its small, about an inch ,cast iron puppy dog with back marked LVRR PUP. Have scene them in Cornell Red, White , Green, Yellow. Does anyone know if these were made by an LV shop employee or any history on these items? Thanks

I think they were advertising paperweights made by another company. Griswold, a cast iron cookware manufacturer in Erie, PA made them as did other companies such as Hubley Manufacturing in Lancaster, PA. I'm fairly certain the LVRR shops played no role in their manufacture.
