    Hello everyone!!
    Another of my recent doorstop finds is this early 1900's Hubley cast iron Boston Terrier. As you can see, he's a "Left Facing" version. This one's in really nice condition an was very well cared for by it's original owner. He still retains 90% of his original polychrome paint. He stands 10" tall, 8 3/4" long and weighs approximately 6.8lbs (if my scales are correct).

    Thanks for stopping in for a look!!
    Scott

      Handsome antique Hubley Boston terrier, what a great stance he has!

      Thanks Jenni!! I have several left facing Boston Terriers and, after a while, they all seem to start looking the same:) The only feature that changes between them is their size, weight, paint color and paint pattern.

      I like the wear and small paint chips. Gives it character.
    6. jscott0363 jscott0363, 3 years ago

      Thanks Eileen!!
      Yes, these Boston Terrier doorstops were VERY popular back in the day. And, still probable one of the most available on eBay for sale and most are WAY overpriced. I have very many in my collection, but I only buy them when I get a ridiculously great price:)

      Measurements and weight are about spot on the money for an original Hubley. Great find and left facing to boot.

      Thank you very much!! I thought so as well.
