Featured in this lot is this Hubley Manufacturing Company cast iron two seat, two horse carriage circa 1910-30s. The Hubley Manufacturing Company was an American producer of a wide range of cast-iron toys, door stops, and bookends. The first Hubley toys appeared in 1909 and were made of cast-iron, with themes that ranged from horse-drawn vehicles and different breeds of dogs, to tractors, steam shovels and guns. This is a very rare toy depicting a man driving a woman. Both the riders and the seats detach from the carriage as well as the chassis and rear spoked wheels from the yoke. The piece still has its original paint showing colors of red, blue, white, black, yellow, brown and grey but has been worn and chipped away throughout the years. Two wheels are housed under the horses to aid in the toys ability to roll over surfaces. Overall the toy is in good condition showing wear from its age and use over the years with flaking and missing paint and slight oxidization in some areas. No major damage present. The piece measures 15 3/8" L x 3 5/8" W x 5 1/4" H and weighs 4 pounds and 14 ounces.
