Rare 1982 George Kieffer Hand Carved Painted Mallard Duck Hen Drake Wood Decoys
VERY RARE 1982 GEORGE KIEFFER HAND CARVED, HAND PAINTED MALLARD DUCK HEN & DRAKE WOOD DECOYS. THESE ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP IN DECOYS!!! I'M NOT SURE IF THESE ARE ONE OF A KIND OR IF THEY WERE OFFERED BY MARSH & FIELD WILDLIFE GALLERIES AS PART OF A SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION SERIES THEY DID WITH GEORGE.
IF THEY ARE PART OF THE LIMITED EDITION SERIES, THEN I THINK ONLY 25 PAIRS WERE MADE. NEVERTHELESS, YOU WILL NOT FIND THESE FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE!!! THIS MALLARD DRAKE AND HEN ARE EXTREMELY FRAGILE BUT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!!! AS FAR AS FLAWS GO, ONE CAN BE SEEN IN PHOTO #12, AS THE DRAKE HAS A CRACK ALONG THE BOTTOM. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER POSSIBLE BLEMISH SEEN IN PHOTO#4, THE TIP OF ONE OF THE GRAY FEATHERS LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE CHIPPED OFF. OTHERWISE, I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL DUCKS. DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN THESE DECOYSTHESE ARE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THE DRAKE & HEN PAIRSGO AHEAD AND LOOK! 17" LONG, 7" TALL AND 6 1/2 WIDE.
