FERMAN EYRE RIGMATE GOLDENEYE PAIR DECOY BROCKVILLE, ONTARIO 1930's
They are all in original paint with hardly any ware whatsoever. The structional condition is excellent and all original. The eyes are painted tacks which was the standard for his decoys unless he received a special request to use glass eyes which would cost more. The majority of his decoys were made from 1916 to1940 while he was caretaker of an estate close to Brockville. This pair was probably made in the 1930's. A rigmate pair of goldeneyes is rare as he carved many more drakes than hens. There is some paint shrinking on the heads from age which gives the decoys more character.
These are very well made decoys to endure the harsh hunting conditions on the St. For more information on Ferman Eyre see " Decoys of the Thousand Islands" by Stewart and Lunman, page 127. The decoys are 14 inches long by 6 1/2 inches high. Please view all of the pictures and ask if you have any questions.
