Canvas-covered slat white-winged scoter decoy by JOSEPH W. LINCOLN (American, Accord, Massachusetts, 1859-1938). Some feel this is the ultimate in canvas-covered decoys. The wooden bottom bears the ''H. C. Hunt'' brand with two leather line ties. There are a few tacks which are beginning to show through the canvas, and a few touch-ups to breast and head, otherwise in very good condition in original paint. 9-1/4''h, 7-1/4''w, 16-1/2''l. Provenance: Estate of Joseph ''Jay'' St. Mark, PhD, of Newtown, Connecticut, historian, appraiser, and collector of fine Americana; Previously sold at James Julia & Guyette's sale of "Important Waterfowl Decoys & Bird Carvings", September 15th, 1988, lot 96, p. 26 of catalog.
