Item Details

Description

Ontario. Unknown Maker. Late 1800's. Original paint, hollow body construction with bottom board. The form is classic â€œToronto School” â€“ very lightweight, finely carved with good feather paint detail. The decoy likely dates to the late 1800â€™s. Paint appears to be original with the exception of the bottom board that is an old repaint. Paint has minor flaking and wear on the head and bill but is overall excellent. A tight crack is present in the breast area. 5.5"H x6"W x13.5"L.
