Ned Burgess (1868-1958), Churches Island, North Carolina. Burgess canvasbacks were in great demand for many years on Currituck and he met that demand. His canvasbacks are large and stately, and exemplify his talent as a carver. This decoy is in its second coat of gunning paint. The reared back head gives it a very proud posture.

Length 16.5"

Former collection of Hampton Sewell.
