Hover over image for more detail. Click to magnify.
Remarkable condition for its age. Strong original paint. No cracks. Hit by shot, but no damage, particularly to its delicately carved bill. Some roughness on the edge of the tail with a small dime-size repair to the start of a short, thin split.
There is no comparable example in our "Mason Decoys" book.
14" long.
