From the Collection of a Gentleman Greensboro, North Carolina

Crafted between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These decoys feature hand-carved wooden bodies with realistic painted details and are distinguished by their glass eyes, which add a lifelike quality to the design. Although part of the factory's standard grade line, the inclusion of glass eyes elevates their aesthetic appeal compared to simpler painted-eye models.

Original paint, never rigged, scuffing to areas.
