Vintage Hubley Manurfacturing Co. Cast Iron Terrier Doorstop

Step right into the golden age of American craftsmanship with this vintage cast iron terrier doorstop, a piece of history from the celebrated Hubley Manufacturing Company. Founded in 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Hubley (1894-1940) became a household name synonymous with quality and durability. While they are famously known for their intricate cast iron toys, the company also produced a highly sought-after line of decorative and utilitarian objects, including these charming and substantial doorstops. Hubley's designs were celebrated for their artistry and realism, and this terrier is a prime example. With its textured, matte black finish and spirited pose, this piece perfectly captures the lively character of a terrier. The solid, heavy cast iron construction speaks to its original purpose—to reliably hold open the heaviest of doors—while also serving as a unique and decorative accent for your library, living room, or entryway. Owning this Hubley doorstop is more than just acquiring a vintage object; it's a connection to a bygone era of American manufacturing where artistry and function were forged into a single, lasting piece. It can be utilized for its intended purpose, as a doorstop, or can be styled a figural dog statue.

The doorstop is in excellent vintage condition with minor wear consistent with vintage age and no major flaws to note.
