History: 
This was purchased at an Estate Auction in southern Jersey
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

I am considering purchasing this doorstop that the seller bought from an auction in southern Jersey. I must admit I am stumped with this one. I stated in the title that it is rare. I have not found one like this in my references or currently for sale on the internet. The colors are too light to be a Hubley. Do you know who made this one and what the value of it is. Is it a reproduction or an original.

This is a large heavy doorstop. It is 10.5" high X 6" wide. It weighs 9 lbs. This is the first paint. There was a white primer under the top coat. The colors are still bright pastel. There are a few chips but not excessive. Please see photo below.
