Mold # 458

8 1/4" in height, 7 3/8" wide

Fred Everett designed 3 doorstops for Hubley :

Geese ( mold # 457 ), Pheasant ( mold # 458 ), and Quail ( mold # 459 ).

Everett sculpted this pheasant doorstop with a realistic posture, the head cocked to the side and its eye looking up - as a real pheasant bird would do if it were on the ground and looking up.

Nearly 4 lbs in weight ( before packing ).

Note that this is an authentic Hubley doorstop ; it is not the much later knock-off imitation.

( a fake would be marked " CN " on the back )

No cracks. No breaks. Minor knick I believe out of top of birds ear

That this doorstop has not been repainted.

This is the original paint and surface.
