Vtg Rare Duncan Ducharme Canvasback Decoy Original Paint Delta Marsh Manitoba
Vintage and hard to find Canvasback Drake decoy by Duncan Ducharme. Duncan carved decoys for James Ford Bell , founder of General Mills Foods and for the Gaylord Hunting Lodge in the Delta Marsh of Manitoba on Lake Winnipegosis. Duncan developed his own and recognizable style which had influences from his uncle and father. High heads carved of pine and set back over the shoulders.
Some of his decoys received wooden keels and this is one of those lucky recipients. He made a living as a guide, hunting, fishing and trapping. This Canvasback Drake shows his style well and is in original paint condition. Right side hit with shot says this decoy saw action. Paint is dry and original with minor touch up at neck seat.
Paint wear expected with age and wood shows some dry tight age cracks. Nick to top of head. Again look at pictures and if more shots are needed, please message me. 13.25 inch long x 6.25 inch wide x 7.5 inch tall(excludes keel). Weighs 2 ponds and 7.2 ounces including keel and weight.
