Stevens Bluebill Drake Decoy C. 1890

Listed is a diminutive bluebill decoy that is thought to have been made by one of the Steven's brothers of Weedsport, NY. It very possibly is one of the many decoys that didn't leave the factory through the front door. The head pattern is slightly different than most and the upswept tail is very similar to the Jim Holly decoys of the time.

The joint where the neck meets the body is identical to all Steven's decoys, tack eyes and the staple in the hole for the anchor line is a dead giveaway. Some have said they thought that Harvey made it early in his career and patterned the tail after the famous Holly decoys to the south. Recently, someone suggested that the youngest brother, Fred made it after the death of both of his older brothers. Regardless, which brother made it, this is one classy little bluebill.

It could have been made as part of a "Pocket" rig as it measures only 10.5 bill to tail. Any other reason, or choice will significantly slow down the return process. The item "Stevens Bluebill Drake Decoy C.
