    Hello everyone!!
    One of my rarest doorstops is this Bradley & Hubbard “Squirrel Eating Nut” doorstop. This one dates to the very early 1900’s. He had a lot of surface rust when I got him, but, to my surprise, still retained remnants of paint remaining. Only part of the base coat paint remains and you can still see a bit of green below the log he stands on and about 30% of the original gray paint on the backside. Bradley & Hubbard was always considered the Tiffany’s of doorstops due to their highly detailed features and this one is such a great example of their work. He measures 11 1/2” tall and 9 7/8” wide. He weighs in at 10 1/2lbs!! In the world of doorstops, this one carries a very high value!!! My red oaks are heavily producing this year and I thought I'd make use of them as you'll see in pic #2.

    Thanks for stopping in for a look at my Bradley & Hubbard Squirrel!!

    Scott

      Fantastic squirrel doorstop, he's perfectly posed as the real ones are everywhere now eating their acorns, just gorgeous!

      Jenni,
      Thanks so much!! These are extremely rare to come by, especially in this condition. I have red oaks in my yard and they've produced abundantly this year. So, I thought the acorns would make it nice Autumn display.
