Cast iron Boston

Hi all looking for help confirming that this is an original cast iron Hubley Boston , cheers

 

Need some dimensions please.

 

10 inches tall and 10 inches wide from side of face to back of leg , cheers

 

Just a few observations. On the 10" bulldogs the cast halves usually were screwed together in 2 places not one like yours. The rib cage was prominant on the Hubley castings, not smooth like yours. The bottoms of the feet were filed flat - on yours it seems one of the feet still has the casting parting line on it. And the skin folds on the neck that start up by the ears and actually go down to the back seem off - but that may be from wear and/or filled in with paint?
So like I said - just what I'm seeing, the newer ones may have changed so probably will have to research it a little more in depth.

 

Hi just seen another one which as Hubley 1916 marked on its side . Could this be a reproduction as I wasn’t aware they were stamped
Cheers Neil

 

That would take some research, unless somebody here knows more about Hubley. According to this page, "The word "HUBLEY" is sometimes imprinted on hollow doorstops." It also mentions three-digit numbers. https://living.thebump.com/hubley-doorstop-real-11193.html

I don't know about these, though, but it sounds like the stamps were often on the bottom.

 

Hi,
If it is a Hubley, it more valuable than you think. Your door stop faces left, looking from the rear. Most of them face right. The left facing ones are rarer and bring higher prices.
