American Goldeneye drake c1890 by Harvey Stevens of Weedsport, NY. Decoy is in very good all original paint and condition in all respects. Possibly some minor touch up to neck seam. Surface shows light gunning wear overall with more wear on the bottom. A partial very faint ink stamp remains showing a few of the letters of Weedsport. There is a small in the making rectangular plug on the bottom and a larger in the making lengthwise plug that goes approximately 2/3 of the way from the base of the neck to the tail. See plate 19 in The Essential Guide To Stevens Decoys for a similar example pictured in color next to a goldeneye by G W Stevens. 2000-3000 Literature: The Essential Guide To Stevens Decoys by Shane Newell and The Stevens Brothers, Their Lives, The Times and Their Decoys by Peter and Peggy Muller Late Additions: three Stevens Factory Decoys from an important local collection 558A 558B 558C 558B.

Freshwater coot C1880 attributed to Harvey Stevens of Weedsport, NY. Shane Newell states on page 44 of his book that Frank Ash had a Stevens coot decoy in his collection. We assume he meant a freshwater coot. Large chip off one side of the tail. Old worn overpaint over some traces of original. Glass eyes may or may not have been tacks at one time. The bill tip has been restored and possibly the base of the neck as it is not oval in shape. 800-1200 Literature: The Essential Guide To Stevens Decoys by Shane Newell and The Stevens Brothers, Their Lives, The Times and Their Decoys by Peter and Peggy Muller Provenance: Joseph French collection 127
