Vintage Long Point Black Duck Decoy Hollow-carved All Original Paint Ontario

This bird is in near mint condition with just minor rubs to the edge of the bill and tip of the tail. There is also a very small paint flake at a knot on the right side of the neck. The surface on this decoy is fantastic. The thickly applied paint is very dry and shows some crazing from age. The feather paint detail is very good and the speculums are still bright.

This decoy is so light its hard to believe. There is a small band of varnish that has been applied to the seam between the bottom board and the body, no doubt to keep it from leaking. While unknown, the maker of this decoy had some real talent.

The form on this bird is super with its long extended tail reminiscent of some of the earliest Reeves birds from Long Point. It has tack eyes and exhibits coggling around the bill (even on the bill tip) in the tradition of carvers like Davey Nichol from Smiths Falls, Ontario.

It also has detailed carving on the underside of the bill. All in all this is one of those really fine decoys that may be destined to be unknown. Measures 16 long; 61/4 wide; and 5-3/4 tall.
