Maine Whitewing Scoter Decoy

Collectibles : Folk Art : Hunting Decoy : Decoy, Bird Carving

 

This scoter decoy is fresh to the market, I found above Searsport, Maine on a fishing trip. It is in excellent condition with an inletted neck, and painted eyes. It has been hit by shot in five or six places. There is less than normal gunning wear for a decoy that was used in salt water. The carver is unknown to me, but it is a great piece of American folk art.
