Vintage Evans Mallard Drake Wood Duck Decoy With Strong Stamp

THE EVANS DECOY COMPANY OF LADYSMITH, WISCONSIN PRODUCED VERY REALISTIC, ATTRACTIVE DECOYS. HOWEVER WALTER EVANS USED PAINTS THAT WERE NOT DURABLE AND BEGAN TO WEAR AS SOON AS THE DECOYS WERE PUT INTO SERVICE.

THE COMPANY PRODUCED DECOYS FOR ONLY FIVE YEARS, FROM 1927 TO 1932. THE DECOY HAS ORIGINAL PAINT, WITH GENERAL WEAR SHOWING THE YEARS SPENT IN THE DUCK WARS BEFORE RETIREMENT. VERY ATTRACTIVE PATINA ESPECIALLY THE GREEN HEAD. THE ORIGINAL GLASS EYES ARE PRESENT WITH NO CRACKS, AND A STRONG EVANS STAMP IS PRESENT ON THE BOTTOM.

THERE IS A VINTAGE FACTORY REPAIR OF A DRYING SPLIT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND A SMALL KNOT ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE DECOY IS 15.5 IN LONG, 5 IN WIDE, AND 6.5 IN HIGH. BASICALLY, THIS IS A RATHER UNCOMMON, STAMPED, EVANS STANDARD SIZE WORKING DECOY, WITH ORIGINAL PAINT, WHICH IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND DISPLAYS WELL.
