Item Details

Description

Early Wood Duck Pair
William H. Cranmer (1917-2008)
Beach Haven, NJ, c. 1940
13 in. long

A plump pair of hollow wood duck decoys with textured head carving, curved sweeping crests, and upswept paddle tails. The rarity of early working wood duck decoy pairs cannot be overstated as most carvers did not bother making working decoys of the species.
Original paint with light gunning wear.
