Dating and background Hubley Manufacturing Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was a leading American toy maker from the late 19th century through mid‑century, best known for cast‑iron toys and later die‑cast models. During the 1930s–40s Hubley introduced “Huboid,” a lightweight composition material used for nursery pull toys like this example. Box graphics and construction align with that period. Dating c. 1935–45. Condition Overall very good for age. Minor paint losses at the nose and the front right foot; expected small scuffs to wheels. Box is worn and in poor condition with tears and losses, but present and displays its original artwork. Dimensions Approx. 5 x 4 inches (about 12.7 x 10.2 cm). Care Display out of direct sunlight. Dust with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid moisture and household cleaners on the painted surface or box. Styling Perfect on a nursery shelf, with other early American toys, or as a whimsical accent on a bookcase. The original box looks great propped behind the lamb.
