Item Details

Description

Fine early New England Merganser decoy. Carved wood with possibly original paint L 17-3/4".
H 4-3/4" x L 17-3/4" x W 6".

In house US Fedex ground shipping available for $65

Condition

This decoy appears to be unused. It was inspected under UV light. There is no apparent in-painting. The head and bill are carved from a single piece of wood but the bill is natural unpainted wood with a deep patina, while the rest of the head and body are painted. This appears to be the original intent by the maker. This condition report is given as a courtesy. It is not a guarantee.
