Vintage Hollow Body Carved Wood Bluebill Drake Duck Decoy Attributed to Alfred Sonny Johnson
Vintage hollow-body wood carved Bluebill drake duck decoy attributed to Sonny Johnson, a New Jersey folk artist known for his classic hollow-body working Bluebill decoys. The decoy features a painted hollow body with flat lead weight on the bottom and a metal hook for a pull string. The bill appears to have been repaired long ago. Signed "Johnson" in black marker on the bottom. Measures approximately 16" long x 6" tall.
Condition
The neck does show some fractures stabilized by metal pin as well as repaired broken bill, typical wear of heavily hunted decoys. Great display piece.
