Collectable Antique Maryland Working Decoy Canvasback Hen (jack Mckenney)

We got this antique gunning Canvasback Hen Decoy made by former Chestertown, MD resident John Jack Henry McKenney from. A Connecticut collector/dealer several years ago.

She and a rigmate have been sitting on a shelf in our collection since we got them. Jacks work reflects that heritage. He was the nephew of George and Henry Lockard. His mother was their sister.

His hand chopped bodies have a paddle tail and a neck shelf. His heads are very boldly carved with nostrils.

He used glass eyes and most of his birds had flat bottoms and were keeled for river hunting. More on Captain McKenneys career is available in an article found in the Havre de Grace Decoy Museums Canvasback Magazine published in the fall of 2015.

This Antique Gunning Decoy is structurally excellent and in very good shelf-kept condition. Voshells family that put the rig on the market. This Decoy is hand chopped and hand finished. She is very well made with plenty of eye appeal.

This Hen has a rounded solid body with a pronounced neck shelf and a distinctive tail. The alert head is finely carved with a bold stout bill and carved nostrils and deep-set glass eyes. The neck is doweled without evidence of a dowel and without neck nails.

This Hen has a flat bottom and is keeled for river gunning. A flat lead strap, attached with two rows of 12 equally spaced small finish nails, run along the keel from one tapered end to the other. The keels are without tie line holes as a separate staple and ring are driven into the body. Wing paint patterns on this bird are uniquely Cecil County Angel Wing and both are in McKenneys paint.
