Does anyone know if these were plated with nickel or chrome?

Authentic vintage cast iron Fisher bear cub paws/claws/feet. Manufactured by Fisher Inc in Eugene, Oregon.

They fit 1.5" square legs. From what I understand, they can be used with the following wood burning stoves:
• Baby Bear
• Grandma Bear
• Grandpa Bear
• Mama Bear
• Papa Bear

My guess is nickel plated.

These should not be cast iron. Only the first straight facing feet were cast. They were smooth with no hair detail.

Later cast iron feet (straight) with hair detail were white brass plated or black oxide.

The angled feet should not be cast iron. They are lightweight white metal. A magnet should not stick to them. They were also white brass plated.
