Excellent freshwater coot c1930 from Wisconsin. Two piece head and bill and a two piece horizontally laminated hollow body. Deeply carved eyes. One of the more elaborate and fanciful paint patterns we have seen on a fresh-water coot. Extensive use of the rasp on the surface of the entire decoy. Old collector tag states that the bird was “found in an auto store in Wisconsin” and “probably from that area”. 300-450 193. Classic canvasback drake by August “Gus” Moak (1852-1942) of Tustin, Wisconsin. Hollow carved. Moak’s classic “snaky” head style with deep eye grooves and a well carved bill. Flat bottomed as opposed to the more common convex bottom board. Strong original paint with overall light gunning wear. Hit by shot, mostly on left side. As noted by the author in “Decoys of the Winnebago Lakes” : “There is no doubt that the decoys made by August Moak are the most prized birds from the Winnebagoland area -“. 1200-1600 194. Bluebill drake formerly attributed to August Guhl (1901-1961) of Oshkosh, WI. Nice example and one of only 55 made after the Premier Mason design. In excellent original paint and condition.

Tight grain check through head. Stamped multiple times on bottom: “DWS”. For a similar example see page 153 in “Decoys of the Winnebago Lakes” by Koch. 300-500 196. Hollow bluebill drake by Fredrick “Fritz” Geiger (1882-1957) of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Tucked head with the distinctively characteristic carved cheeks. Original paint. Light rubs to edge of tail.
