Princess Anne Club, Virginia, circa 1910, carved and painted wood, branded PA CLUB on bottom.

Length 18.25 in.

There has been some controversy as to who made these iconic decoys. Bailey Barco, Robert Henley, and John Williams have been attributed as possible makers.
The forms of these decoys are most similar to those made by John Williams and his proximity to the Princess Anne Club maker him the likely carver.

Old gunning paint with moderate gunning wear, age check on bottom.
