Rare Early 20th Century Cast Iron Hubley Gnome Doorstop - E4424d

This whimsical cast-iron doorstop was produced by the Hubley Manufacturing Company some time in the 1920's or 30's. The paint looks to be all original, which is quite a feat considering that the piece probably spent the better part of the last 100 years out in the elements.

Height: 10 in.  

Weight: 6 lbs.


Condition: The paint is heavily chipped and worn, but all of the colors are still present and easily visible. There is some rust and discoloration to the areas wear the metal is exposed. Overall, the piece is in very good condition considering its age and intended use. See pictures for details.
