Nichol, Smith Falls, Ontario, ca. This great bird is in all original, very dry paint and condition and show relatively minimal wear from use for its age. The surface is outstanding with nice crackling on the body. The decoy exhibits the best of Nichols production including nice high sculptural head form, raised wings, fluted tail, coggling around the bill, feather stamping on the sides, and fine scratch paint technique on the back and breast. This one also has the decoys knuckles painted in orange replicating the bird's tucked legs under its body.

There is a very small chip at the tip of one of the raised wings and there is a bit of separation at the seam where the neck meets the body. It has rubs to the end of the bill, left cheek, top of the head, and tail along with some thinning to the paint on the top of the back from use. Original glass eyes are good and in tact. This is just a great example of this makers earliest and best work.

Measures 15-1/2 long; 6 wide; and 6 tall. Please ask questions or for more pictures.
