Joe Lincoln Decoy Large Self Bailer Scoter
Joe Lincoln's famous Self Bailing Scoter..... May be an oversize model? This Decoy is about 18 long from the bill to up to the tail. It Has a small wood knot plug On the back, a common marker of a Joe Lincoln decoy. Knowing that the knot of the wood would stain the paint, even on a black Scoter, he Drilled out that wood knot and plugged it..... It's slightly bigger than a pencil size Eraser. The "Long" Rig marking, on this decoy is that it comes with the historical story on Harry V Long in the Book & Story on his Crowell decoys he had in his house. This Scoter bottom is Stamped HV Long (see photo)...
Harry V long was a wealthy business man in Boston who owned a small Island south of Boston. It just happened to be near Accord & Hingham, MA. Lincoln decoys, this Self Bailing Scoter, would have been the perfect choice for loading into a skiff in the Bay Area around Long's island...... Not to heavy and no chance of getting water-logged (part of why most Lincoln self-bailers are still in great shape after 100 years). Harry V long drove the finest cars of the period and Joe Lincoln rode only a bike and never owned a car....
Part of the great story with this decoy. The big wide body, the chip out/hollowness of this decoy, show Lincoln's decoy making skill and unique novelty of the idea.
