Mason Premier Widgeon Drake

RARE AND IMPORTANT Mason factory Premier grade widgeon drake with a more detailed paint swirling and coloration around the wings and speculum. Head seam may have some glue to keep the head from moving. Minute separation visible along the body seam. Slight mark on left bottom of bill may be from an old shot hit. All original paint except for a small (approx 3/8") area of in-painting on the left wing. Outstanding swirl paint. Some small areas on bottom front of breast show wear to wood or primer and the edge of tail shows very light wear. A darkened ring in the paint is visible just below the body seam. 20,000-30,000 Provenance: Howard Waddell Collection.
