DescriptionVery fine, solid carved Canada goose decoy, quite large in size. The bottom is flat and the body has graceful lines ending in an upturned tail. The neck is a single piece attached to the boyd, and the head is attached to the neck with no visible nails, thus they are probably held in place with dowels. There are two large glass eyes. The body is painted white under the tail, gray on the breast and the upper portion of the body is black. The neck and head are black with a white line around the head.
MarkingsA brand on the bottom, "VII - II"
