Lot Details & Additional Photographs
Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, circa 1930, painted canvas over wire construction.

Length 20.5 in.

The Marvin Midgett canvas duck decoys were not only well made but also appealing. They can be identified by their head construction since most are two piece. A rig mate is published on page 313 of Gunnin' Birds by Kroghie Andresen.

Original paint with light gunning wear.
