Duck Bootscrape
About: This is a SOLID cast iron boot scrape in the form of a duck, likely manufactured by the Hubley corporation (think die cast toys) c.1890. He weighs about 18 lbs and could double as a doorstop.
Why We Love It: We swoon for anything with functionality AND good form. And just look at his little contrasting beak!
Side note: these appear to be selling for oddly large sums…. but we’re trying to keep our prices reasonable so do a google search then come back and take this one home.
Condition: Excellent as shown without cracks or repairs. Perfect amount of patina & oxidation.
Dims: 15” Long x 6” Wide x 4.5” High.
Location: Sperryville, VA
