Vintage cast iron pirate ship / galleon bookend produced by the Hubley Manufacturing Company.
The engraved marking "S207" on the back or base is the specific pattern/model number used by Hubley during the 1920s and 1930s to catalog this particular nautical design. Hubley, based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was well-known during that era for manufacturing high-quality cast iron toys, doorstops, and decorative bookends.
This specific model features a multi-masted Spanish galleon or pirate ship riding over cresting ocean waves, typically finished with a bronze- or gold-toned wash over the heavy iron.
Heavy patina and leftovers of velvet covered base, maintained intact to safeguard its value and authenticity.
A must for a nautical memorabilia collector, or anyone who values historical decor.
This is NOT a replica, but a Hubley original from the mentioned era. There may be similar pieces on the comps that are newer copies.
