Item Details

Description

A 15 inch Merganser decoy by Capt. Gerald B. Smith (1905-1994), Marblehead, MA. This merganser decoy exhibits exceptional form and is one of the finest of his decoys. Years ago, Capt. Gerry was at the Bourne Auction in Hyannis and was absolutely thrilled when a Merganser weathervane, with a similar head pattern, sold for $575.00. Signed with his large signature brand on the bottom along with "1180" which designates the number of decoys he carved to this point. Original paint with minor wear.
