Antique HUBLEY DOG cast iron DOOR STOP large painted metal WIRE FOX TERRIER

Antique HUBLEY DOG cast iron DOOR STOP large painted metal WIRE FOX TERRIER. Handsome antique cast iron doorstop depicts an alert Wire Fox Terrier dog. Dog is painted ceamy white with classic markings; black/brown head spots and a black “saddle” spot on his back. A slender red collar is painted around his neck. Larger than many doorstops, dog measures 10″ tall and 11″ long. Well cared for but note there is paint loss, please examine the photos. Info from the internet: The Hubley Manufacturing Company was first incorporated in 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The first Hubley toys appeared in 1909 and were made of cast-iron, with themes that ranged from horse-drawn vehicles and different breeds of dogs, to tractors, steam shovels and guns (Smitsonian Institution, website). Hubley’s casting process involved several steps. For a particular toy, bookend, or doorstop, metalworkers would first carve a wood form, or hammer out the basic design in metal. Pressing this form into finely compacted sand created an impression for molding. Cast iron heated to 3000 degrees was poured into the sand mold and, when cooled, the form would pop out. Rough edges would be filed away and the mold ready for mass production casting. Painters applied a base coat (usually white or cream but sometimes black) to cast figures whether toys or doorstops. Then, colorists used a variety of hues highlighting important details (Collectics. Com).
