Hello everyone!!
Here's one of my favorites of the cast iron Scotty dog doorstop collection. This one was made by Hubley in the very early 1900's and listed in their catalog as #412 "Sitting Scottie". The detail that Hubley put into this one is just amazing to me. From her sitting on her rear paw to the highly detailed coat and the cute little red studded collar. I'd expect that with bronze, but not with cast iron. She's a two piece design held together with two screws and larger than most doorstops, measuring 11 3/4" tall and 16" long. She weighs nearly 12lbs!! Pic #4 shows what she looked like when I took ownership of her. I like to think that she's relieved to be back to her original self again.
Thanks for stopping in for a look!!!

What a fantastic Hubley Scottie, he's just gorgeous and will look great with your awesome Scottie dog collection
Such a beauty!!! Love the eyes, black coat and the red collar. Very, very nice piece!!!!
Jenni,
Thank you!! She was severely rusted and I was even in doubt that I could bring her back to her original glory. But, I think she turned out well.
FreshAir,

Mike,
Thanks friend! She's the largest cast iron Scottie in my collection. She reminded me of your profile pic.

I don't really know the history of Hubley's fascination with the Scottie, but love it ?~
Phil,
Thanks!! They did seem to have quite a fascination with Scotties, but they also seemed to have quite a fascination with Boston Terriers as well.
