Manufacturer: Hubley?
Victorian antique iron flower basket doorstop. This doorstop is shown in the 2003 Antique Trader book on Metalwares, 2nd Edit. by Krause, pg. 67. It is shown in with multi color paint. I checked the paint on this item under a black light and it doesn't glow, so it is very old paint. Not sure if this was multi colored originally and someone painted it gold to go in a Victorian parlor, or if it came in gold, but it is old paint. It has a #1 on backside; old felt on bottom. It might be a Hubley but I did not remove the felt to check. This is one of the heaviest iron doorstops I have come across. It stands 10 inches tall x 8 wide. A great old piece to use or just display! You could also spray it another color like white to go in a shabby chic room. 6/15
