Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, circa 1930s, painted canvas over wire construction.

Length 26 in.

Manie's canvas decoys are some of the most sought after on the Outer Banks. The carved groove in the forehead was his signature. This example has an extra thick bottom board and very well carved high head. It is one of the finest examples to come to market.

Original paint with moderate wear, two areas of torn canvas under the tail.
