Exceptional Flying Black Duck
Chauncey Wheeler (1888-1945)
Alexandria Bay, NY, c. 1925
23 in. long
This rare flying black duck model showcases the maker at his very best. The grand wall-mount body features three-piece laminate construction with a high lifted wing. The head, body, and wing are finished with Wheeler’s best stippled and blended paint. The head has especially fine paint detail and the carver's signature eye groove.
Original paint with minimal wear and small chip to wing tip.
Literature: Harold W. Reiser III, Chauncey Wheeler, Lewes, DE, 2002, p. 99, related flyer illustrated and listed as the only black duck flyer known.
