PERCY BOVEY BLACK DUCK DECOY GANANOQUE, ONTARIO
Gananoque is located on the shores of the St. Lawrence River and is directly across from Clayton, NY. His decoys were well made and sturdy to withstand the harsh hunting conditions of the St. The bodies were made from cedar and the heads from basswood. This is an exceptional decoy in all original paint and condition and was probably made in the 1940s. The decoy has been used for hunting but it hardly has any wear which is confined to the edges of the decoy and an couple of high spots. Unique to this decoy is that it has a turned head to the right whereas most of his black ducks have straight forward heads. The decoy has scratch painting on the body and head. The bill carving is very detailed with a mandible line, raise nail at the tip of the bill, nostrils and carving to delineate the bill from the head. The decoy is 16 inches long by 6 1/2 inches high. For further information and a picture of a similar black duck see page 101 in "Decoys of the Thousands Islands" by Stewart and Lunman. He is also a listed carver in "Ontario Decoys II" by Bernie Gates.
