Old collector tag on bottom and research by the consignor indicates that the decoy was carved by Capt. (U.S. Army) Kessey of Port Townsend, WA. Kessey was the Jefferson County, WA treasurer in the early 1930’s. He died in 1937. Two piece head and neck. Head is loose and may have been intentionally made that way to vary the head position in the rig. Carved shoulder separation and nicely crossed wingtips. Old paint may be the original. 400-600 Provenance: Koetje collection 301. Hollow black brant by Art Forster (?-1981) of Vancouver, B.C. Paint appears to be a mix of some original and some in-use touchup on the white. Carved circa late 40’s early 50’s. Very good structural condition. As noted on page 25 of “Waterfowl Decoys of The Pacific Coast” by Miller and Hanson: Forster’s brant “are pleasing in shape with round, bulbous heads, tiny bills and a stylized paint pattern” – “Certainly one of the more distinctive brant decoys to come out of British Columbia”. 400-600 Provenance: Koetje collection 295(PR) 296 297(PR) 298(15) 299 300 301 66
