This cast iron door stop of a Hubley English Bulldog is a rare beauty. Many of the newer Hubley English Bulldogs doorstops have two matching ears, however. The the older ones, like this, have two different ears. The body is smooth in texture and seams are tight. Body is cream colored, with brown accents on rump and around eyes & ears. There are tiny red accents on the nose & mouth, and black eyes & brows. Original paint on entire body, and there has been no additional paint applied. Due to its use as a doorstop, there is minor paint chipping in the usual places. The single slotted screw holding two pieces together can be seen, under paint, in the photo of the back facing side. With original paint, tight seams, and very serious eyes, this Bully will bring humor to your home or collection. The Hubley Manufacturing Company was in operation beginning in 1894. From what I have read & learned, I would date this doorstop from the early 1900’s. This would make a lovely gift for a new home or for an English Bully owner.
