Churches Island, North Carolina, circa 1930s, carved and painted wood.

Length 16.5 in.

From the Harrell Grimstead hunting rig.

The Burgess redheads are smaller than his more common canvasbacks and they have an attractive flow about them. This decoy has an alert posture and a stunning patina. Hens are extremely rare.

Original paint with moderate gunning wear, neck has no crack.
