Important Swimming Coot
Captain Edwin Bachman (1872-1914)
Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, c. 1900
12 in. long
Bachman is a highly regarded Nova Scotia maker known for his folky merganser and goldeneye decoys. This coot represents a possibly unique species for the carver and one of the most animated coot decoys by any maker.
Original paint with gunning wear, inlaid neck joint is slightly loose.
Literature: Dale and Gary Guyette, "Decoys of Maritime Canada," Exton, PA, 1983, p. 69, related decoys illustrated.
