This item was given to me from someone very special who I consider to be like my grandma. I honestly have no idea what it is but I have seen many online described as doorstops but this is much smaller, definitely heavy. Wish I knew what the C. I. W. C.O. stamped in back means
There may be some clues as to the maker here.........(see below)

He's great, and looks very old to me.
He is gorgeous and could be a paperweight.....
Yes I noticed doorstops in this design but they are bigger. Then I read that paperweights were also made by Hubley but all the pics online I have seen don't have the C.I.W.C.O. which has me stumped. My grandma had it wrapped and in storage which is why the paint looks amazing
