Antique Midwestern Duck Decoy Canvasback Drake, St Clair Flats, Michigan, c1920
Description : An antique Midwestern carved and painted working Duck Decoy, Canvesback Drake, maker unknown, attributed to the St. Clair River (Flats) area, Michigan, ca. Wide, solid cedar body with pine or similar carved head with glass eyes and strong bill delineation; flat bottom. Attributing and evaluating antique decoys is well beyond the scope of my expertise.

The duck species, age and origin was handwritten on a old piece of masking tape affixed to the underside, but could be convinced otherwise. Condition : Expected wear and soiling throughout, including rubs, dings, paint loss, etc. It has not been cleaned. The paint appears mostly original, but can not rule out small touch ups over the years.

The original keel or lead weight is missing from the underside. Displays brilliantly; a very well-carved, attractive form with tremendous Folk Art appeal. See photos for complete details and close-ups. Please consider them as part of the description. A life-size representation: measures 15-1/2"L x 7"W x 6-3/4H overall.

Weighs approximately 2.75 lbs. Good Luck, thanks for looking, and be sure to bookmark my Auctions, listed and ending daily.
