Rare Goose Decoy, Linwood Dudley (1886-1958)

Item Details

Description

Linwood Dudley (1886-1958)
Knotts Island, NC, c. 1920
16 1/2 in. long

A rare working Canada goose from the Outer Banks. Linwood carried on his famous family's tradition of making decoys and running the Dudley Island Shooting Club. His pattern was inspired by his uncle Lee Dudley (1860-1942). This example was selected for inclusion in "Gunnin' Birds" and represents the maker's best carving period.
In early Dudley gunning paint with wear, some cracks to head and body.

Provenance: Kroghie Andresen Collection, acquired 1991

Literature: Kroghie Andresen, "Gunnin' Birds," Charlotte, NC, 2008, p. 73, exact decoy illustrated in reverse.
