Rare Scott Jackson Minature Canvasback Hen Decoy Cecil County Upper Bay
This is a super rare decoy. Its a very delicate and rare miniature flying hen canvasback made by Scott Jackson in about 1915. These little birds are never found for sale. Im very lucky to own 7 of these plus another 7 mini seated birds ; all made by Scott Jackson.
When I was writing my book on Cecil County decoys, I interviewed 2 90+ years olds who lived in Charlestown (both are now unfortunately deceased). The y both told me t hat they knew Mr. Jackson when they were children in the early 1920s. They each also told me how Mr. Jackson would have a miniature sink box rig set up in his front room around Christmas time.
The fliers were hanging from the ceiling from wire. If you look closely on this one you can see the tiny hole where the wire was attached. I have spent the past 20 years searching for miniature decoys from Charlestown.
This hen is guaranteed to be from Mr. Jacksons home as I got it out of the Barnes home about 12 years ago from the grandson of P K Barnes who was the grand nephew of Scott Jackson.
