A stand of several dozen mallard and black duck decoys were carved by Lee Dudley and delivered to John Bryant, a member of the Swan Island Club. Bryant maintained his membership between 1884 and 1896 and once again between 1901 and 1908. It is believed this mallard was delivered to the club early during Bryant's second tenure of membership.
