Dodge Factory (MI, 1883-1894) Canvasback

Detroit, Michigan, circa 1890, carved and painted wood, tack eyes.

Length 16.5 in.

These decoys were made for rugged field use and sold to hunters and gunning clubs in quantity. While less detailed than higher grades, they are highly collectible due to their age, form, and historic role in American waterfowling.

Original paint with soiling to the surface, tight age checks on head and bill.
