Black Duck

Daniel G. English (1883-1962)

Florence, NJ, c. 1930

A superb black duck decoy by this Delaware River maker originally acquired by Bob White of Tullytown, Pennsylvania. English often repainted his decoys and it is difficult to find untouched examples in original paint. This virtually pristine example is one of the finest Dan English black ducks known to exist.

Outstanding original condition with minimal gunning wear.
