Hollow New England Canada goose decoy. This plump body goose has some early touch-up and repairs to the head. Special attention was given to the head detail with bulging cheeks and a protruding bill; the eyes are carved with a tack in center. The neck cracks have been crudely nailed back but appear to be original pieces. A flattened four-tip decoy anchor is secured to bottom for ballast. This goose certainly has plenty of personality and charm. 14-1/4''h, 8-1/2''w, 19-3/4''l. Provenance: Estate of Joseph ''Jay'' St. Mark, PhD, of Newtown, Connecticut, historian, appraiser, and collector of fine Americana.
