Title: Vintage Large "Fireside" Cast Iron Reclining Cat Doorstop – 10+ lb Description:Up for sale is a beautifully preserved, cast iron reclining/fireside cat doorstop. This is the highly sought-after large-gauge "fluffy/tabby" cat design, heavily attributed to premier early-to-mid 20th-century American foundries like Hubley Manufacturing Co. or Wilton.This is a vintage piece. Key Features & Collector Notes:Substantial Weight: Weighs at least 10 pounds (heavy-gauge casting), designed to hold heavy external doors or sit prominently by a hearth. Period-Correct Hardware: Held together by its original, naturally oxidized flathead (slotted) machine screw, perfectly countersunk into the casting. (No modern Phillips-head hardware here). Original Paint Patina: Retains its original cold-painted black and off-white finish. The paint shows authentic, honest wear, chipping, and light oxidation appropriate for its age, which beautifully highlights the molded fur texture. Structural Note: There is a natural factory seam gap along the top ridge, which is incredibly common for these multi-piece hand-filed castings and does not affect its structural integrity or display value. Condition:Good preowned condition. Unmarked. Please review the high-resolution photos carefully to assess the original paint wear and casting details. The item is being sold exactly as found—it has not been cleaned, scrubbed, or repainted to preserve its full historical value and patina for collectors.
