“Very Good-Excellent overall vint cond: In outstanding, very well-pres cond, w/perhaps a "touch" or sm, slight ding on the outer margin of the decoy"s tail. It"s in otherwise terrific cond, w/nat aged cedar patina, blk glass eyes & clearly signed by the duck decoy sculptor on the baseplate "For Buck Mills, by Jack Carrigan, #2, Oct. 1977 JC." It hasn"t been lacquered, varnished or oiled. It still has its nat aged white cedar, honey & amber patina, w/episodes of deep chestnut. The blk glass eyes are present & orig to the sporting duck decoy. It"s wonderfully carved, w/solid body, 1 board construction, making the carver even more skilled, considering the head wasn"t fashioned from another board & fastened to the lower body. Without the luxury of paint, the wood carver"s handiwork & wood carving skills are left for all to see, unobscured by paint. The form isn"t only anatomically correct, but the artist was clearly familiar w/his subject & realized the decoy w/great care. Signed. Dated.”
