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.
Please check the photos as they are part of the item’s description. Weights close to 2.5 lbs.
