4. Very early ca. 1900 Mason Factory Premier Canada goose in 100% out of rig, original, untouched condition. Strong original paint with factory swirling over entire back readily apparent. A scattering of small rubs to wood or primer on body, neck and head. Old nail repair to base of neck. Knot visible on both sides of base of neck. A narrow check runs the length of the lower left side and there is a small area of roughness to the edge of tail. Very minor roughness to right edge of bill. Elegant, long bodied decoy with a high arched back form, so-called "snakey head" model. A very desirable example of this hard to locate species by Mason. Found in a Duxbury estate in the Fall of 2008. 14,000-18,000
