Rare and Early Blue-Winged Teal Pair by Evans Duck Decoy Co. (1921-1932)

Item Details

Description

Rare and Early Blue-Winged Teal Pair
Evans Duck Decoy Co. (1921-1932)
Ladysmith, WI, c. 1921
13 1/2 in. long

"Considering the number of Evans teal that come to market over the years," writes Terry Smart, "it appears that Evans made very few teal." This species has been far and away the most popular among collectors over the years.
Original paint with even gunning wear. Drake has restoration to left edge of bill and hen has age line along right side.

Provenance: Terry Smart Collection

Literature: Andy Schoneich and Terry Smart, "Evans Duck Decoy Factory," Lawsonville, NC, 2017, p. 55, exact pair illustrated.

Exhibited: Memphis, TN, Ducks Unlimited Waterfowl Heritage Center, "Evans Duck Decoy Factory: Collection of Terry Smart," 2021-2023.
