Up for sale is what is believed to be an authentic antique cast iron Airedale Terrier puppy figurine manufactured by the renowned Hubley Manufacturing Company. This piece is a solid, one-piece casting, distinguishing it from later two-piece reproductions that often feature visible seams or Phillips-head screws.

The dog features a highly detailed, molded "wire-hair" texture. It retains a significant amount of its original paint, which is a critical factor for collectors. The coloration is a warm buff-orange with dark chocolate brown accents on the ears and across the back.

• Origin: Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA (Hubley Manufacturing Co.)

• Age: Circa 1920s–1940s

• Material: Solid Cast Iron with original hand-painted cold-painted finish

• Dimensions: Approximately 3.25" High x 3.25" Long

Condition: The figurine is in good antique condition, showing honest wear consistent with its 80+ year age. There are expected minor paint chips, particularly on the high points (ears, tail, and paws), which confirm its status as an original "cold-painted" piece rather than a modern reproduction. The cast iron is structurally sound with no cracks or repairs.
