Black duck by Keyes Chadwick of Martha’s Vineyard, MA. Head turned slightly to the left. Intentionally left in its natural state by Chadwick who did a fair number of these. Nostrils and the eye stripe are outlined in pencil. These were very popular and sold to locals as well as the summer tourists. Few tight knots in the wood and never weighted. 250-450 337. Red-breasted merganser drake from Massachusetts. Carved head nicely alludes to a crest. Original paint with the dark “bars” on the speculums possibly a latter addition. Surface shows very minimal, if any, wear. Faded pencil notation on bottom may read “Made by _ _ _ _ _ _ _- Martha’s Vineyard”. Rigged but used lightly if at all. 450-650 Provenance: Robinson collection 338. Red breasted merganser hen from Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. Original paint with moderate overall wear. A number of small flakes and rubs. Old repair to base of neck. 450-650 339. Red-breasted merganser drake from Martha’s Vineyard. Painted eyes and undercut tail. Original paint with overall light wear. Head swivels on body and splined bill appears to be an early repair. Lightly hit by shot. Some roughage to underside edge of ail and to bottom. 350-550 Provenance: Robinson collection 340. Goldeneye hen c 1930 by a member of Cape Cod’s Nickerson family. Carved eyes and bill with the typical paddle tail seen in some variation in all members of this prolific families work.

Pronounced “humpback” styling and a somewhat bulbous breast. Both sides of the head are uniquely concavely carved. Flaking original paint with fairly heavy gunning wear.
