Item Details

Description

Outstanding Bishop's Head Gun Club model Canada goose. Head is turned and slightly cocked with typical humped bill and under-tail carving. R.H. Richardson collection ink stamp on the underside. Believed by many to be the best of the Bishops Head style geese. Measures 24" long.

Literature: "Chesapeake Bay Decoys", by Robert H. Richardson, page 160, exact decoy pictured. "Timeless Treasures: Ward Brothers Decoys" by The Ward Museum of Waterfowl Art, pages 68, 74,and 75. The Bishops Head Fish and Gun Club was founded by Albanus Phillips and W. Grason Winterbottom in the early 1920's on a large point of land in southern Dorchester County, Maryland. Many of the decoys used at the club had been ordered from the Ward Brothers and made in a distinct style now known as the Bishops Head Gun Club style. Phillips and Winterbottom were two of the three founders of The Phillips Packing Company of Cambridge, Maryland. Establishing their first packing plant in 1902, the company grew to be the largest fruit cannery in the United States, the largest supplier of C-Rations during World War I and II, and the largest employer in Dorchester County.

Provenance: Bishops Head Fish and Gun Club rig. Purchased by Bobby Richardson from the son of an executive of the Phillips Packing Company, who owned three Bishops Head geese. Bobby Richardson collection. Alan and Elaine Haid collection.

Condition

Original paint with minor to moderate flaking and wear; hairline cracks in breast; a few tiny spots of touch up on top of head and at spot of filler at back of head.
