You are looking at a RARE vintage cast iron Boston Terrier doorstop. The brown paint is what I would say is generally what you see from a doorstop this old with chips and missing paint. But no cracks, and no signs of repair. Most of this style doorstops are colored black. As this one is a rarer brown. The door stop is two pieces of cast iron metal with the original straight head screw. It?s in the shape of a Boston Terrier with its head turned to the LEFT. Which in itself is a rarity. As 97% of these same style doorstops are the head turned to the right. The piece measures 9 3/4 inches tall by 9 3/4 inches long. It's almost 9 lbs . Original paint, not a reproduction, touched up or altered in anyway. Most people are listing these left facing stops as a Hubley. With extensive research on this item I have found out that Hubley had never made a left facing bulldog doorstop. This Information came directly from Hubley?s identification guide book. Hubley never cast a identification mark or number on any of these dog stops as it was said that it would take away from the look of the figure. If I would have to guess which manufacturer made this fine piece, it would be Vindex, who made a lot of cast iron items including the hard to find motorcycles with the policemen rider. Not much more to say about this rarer piece except it would look great in your collection as something different and unique. QUESTIONS? Comments?? Just write me.
