Hello everyone!!
Another of my rare doorstops is this cast iron clown. This one was made by Hubley in the very early 1900's and is highly coveted in the doorstop collectors world. Hubley listed this one in their catalog simply as "Clown", no catalog number was ever given to this particular doorstop by Hubley, at least that anyone is aware of. Though it's suffered some paint loss over it's 100+ years of life, it's still in pretty amazing condition for it's age. This is a one piece double sided design and measures 10" tall, 4 1/2" wide and weighs 4.30lbs. This one graces the cover of the Doorstops Identification and Values book by Jeanne Bertoia.
Thanks very much for stopping in for a look at my Hubley Clown doorstop!!

He's a fantastic clown and reminds me of Pagliacci
Jenni,'
Thanks very much!! You're absolutely right! Now, it makes me wonder if Pagliacci is who Hubley had in mind when modeling this particular doorstop.

I really like how the collar is so stylized in this beauty !~
Phil,
Thank you very much!! I love this one as well. These are really rare to find anymore and when you do find one, they're typically way over priced.
