Cast Iron English Setter Dog Doorstop 4”X16”X9” - This vintage doorstop is a naturalistic representation of an English Setter hunting dog in a stalking or pointing stance. The dog is modeled with its left front paw raised and a feathered tail extended horizontally, a pose characteristic of the breed while on scent. The piece is constructed from two hollow-cast iron sections joined together by two visible flat-head screws, with one located behind the ear and the other on the rear flank. The exterior surface is finished in cream-colored paint with black patches on the head, ears, and back, and a small application of red paint at the mouth. The casting features detailed texture simulating fur, particularly on the chest, tail, and legs. While no maker's marks are present on the exterior or the base, this specific model is a documented design attributed to the Hubley Manufacturing Company, frequently cited in trade catalogs as model number 254.
