Exceptional Challenge-Grade Merganser Drake
Mason Decoy Factory (1896-1924)
Detroit, MI, c. 1910

A very strong example showing one of Mason's most successful decoy forms. A closely related example was chosen for the front dust-jacket cover of Goldberger and Haid's 1993 "Mason Decoys" book and a rigmate can be found on the inside.
The underside bears the brand "Q. A. Shaw."
Excellent original paint with light gunning wear and a tight crack along the underside.
Provenance: Quentin A. Shaw Rig, Eastham, Massachusetts
Lew Horton Collection
Literature: Russ J. Goldberger and Alan Haid, "Mason Decoys: A complete Pictorial Guide," Lewes, DE, 1993, front dust-jacket cover, closely related example illustrated, p. 73, rigmate illustrated.
