Attributed to Wildfowler Decoy Company Canvasback Drake Gunning Decoy
A mid-20th-century carved and painted Canvasback drake gunning decoy attributed to the Wildfowler Decoy Company. The bird exhibits the company’s characteristic streamlined body, flat underside, sharply pointed tail, machine-turned head fitted to a raised body seat, glass eyes, and simplified stenciled wing-pocket detail. The underside bears the raised initials “OJG,” likely identifying a former owner or hunting rig. Length: 17 inches Height: 9 inches.
Condition
Overall good vintage condition with extensive working repaint and scattered later touch-ups. Visible scratches, rubbing, surface abrasions, uneven paint texture, and areas of paint loss consistent with age and use. No apparent major structural damage. Please review all photographs carefully.
