Former collection of Russ and Karen Goldberger

This hollow made decoy is in crisp mostly original paint with bold patterns. It is a very strong example and similar to the decoy published on pages 50-52 in Mason Decoys-A Complete Pictorial Guide by Russ Goldberger.

Some black wash was professionally removed revealing original paint, some neck fillers has been replaced, some retouch to the head.
