Old Square Nailed Wood Folk Art Hooded Merganser Duck Decoy Signed C. Pritchard
Antique Square Nailed Wood FOLK ART Duck Decoy. Pritchard'91' Linden - Hooded Merganser. The old wood decoy is hand carved and joined with old square nails, and is also hand painted. This may very well be part of a collection owned and signed by Nebraska artist Claremont Gale Pritchard who passed on in 1975 which leads me to believe the "'91' " is a PROP tally used in his paintings or number in edition of his collection and not the year. Approximately 14" Long x 5 1/2" Wide x 6 3/4 Tall.
