Item Details

Description

"Pocket-Sized" Ruddy Duck

Mark S. McNair (b. 1950)

Craddockville, VA, c. 1975

A seven-inch-long decoy carving with maker's incised signature, a dog bone lead weight, leather anchor-line loop, and a Conover Collection stamp on the bottom. Though diminutive, this was not made as a miniature, rather it was inspired by pocket-sized decoys such as the Lee Dudley (1860-1942) teal illustrated in plate I of William J. Mackey's "American Bird Decoys."

Original condition.

Paul W. Masengarb Collection

William J. Mackey, Jr., "American Bird Decoys," New York, NY, 1965, plate I.
