The following antique is from the living estate of Ailene & Buddy Ford; noted dealers and lifelong collectors of valuable antique & vintage heirlooms. The AEAA is particularly pleased to present what we believe to be an original Hubley large Scottie, cast iron door stop which has been repainted in the 1950s. This handsome doorstop, has the form of the Hubley, with the front staggered right hind leg, rather than that of the Littco casting. Our great door stop weighs a substantial 9# 10 oz., stands 10.75 x 4 x 8.5 inches tall, and is in VG condition. xxxxxxxxxxx. The Hubley Manufacturing Company was first incorporated in 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania by John Hubley. The first Hubley toys were made of cast iron, with styles that ranged from horse drawn vehicles and dogs, to guns, as well as household objects such as doorstops and bookends. With the arrival of automobiles, trucks, and later airplanes, these forms of transportation became their focus. The Hubley Manufacturing Company made accurate metal replicas of many popular American cars and trucks, as well as some lesser known foreign models. There are 7 Ford Model A body styles alone, including a Sedan, Station Wagon, Coupe, Roadster, Roadster Pickup, Victoria, and Phaeton. Hubley produced a wide range of airplanes, often reproducing actual military aircraft with a fine attention to detail. Like the automobiles, Hubley aircraft were manufactured from multiple pieces which were usually put together with screws. They had moving wheels and guns, and sometimes retractable landing gear. The wheels were often manufactured of rubber. As an interesting addendum, though mass produced, each Hubley toy and doorstop was largely hand made. Consequently, each one was also painted by hand, so each is somewhat unique. After WW II, die cast zinc alloy and aluminum models replaced the earlier cast iron ones. Hubley was acquired by Gabriel Industries in 1965 and now produces die cast zinc and plastic toys as well as hobby kits.
