Offered is a rare goldeneye hen decoy that was carved by William Hart (1875-1946) of Belleville, Ontario. Hart decoys are often mistaken for decoys that were made by Fred Croft and William Crysler.

This redhead is an early Delaware River decoy. Most redheads were repainted as bluebills when hunting for redheads was banned. It has a fluted tail, and an inletted weight which indicates that it was made by a carver who also carved in the New Jersey style.

SOLDSOLD Hollow Ontario Working Bluebill Decoy By Harry Glover
Antiques:Hunting, Decoy:Bird Carving, Folk Art
This bluebill decoy was carved by Harry Glover of Hamilton, Ontario. There is not a lot of information on Harry, but his decoys are well know by collectors. It is hollow carved and feather light with a thin bottom board that was made from a cedar shingle. The comb painting on the back is spectacular. I would date it to the 1930's but it may be earlier. The eyes look like they were taken from an early doll. This is an excellent example, and will make a great addition to any collection.| Items 1 - 9 of 9 | Page 1 of 1 |
