Length 26 in.

Clarence was born on Bells Island and was the son of well known market hunter Stant White. He perfected a unique construction technique that is widely used today. His decoys had a two-pieced head that was joined by mortise and tenon. This joint strengthened the head and bill, rare all wood body.

Original paint, minor age checks in the back of the body.
