- Lot Description
Charles T. Wilson (1848-1921)
Havre de Grace, MD, c. 1876
11 1/4 in. long
Wilson was a principal at the Havre de Grace High School, and was not known to have produced many decoys. The rarity of his decoys is demonstrated in the J. Evans McKinney's book on the Susquehanna Flats. While no Wilson is seen in McKinney's first edition of his book, this exact decoy was the only Wilson selected to represent the maker in the second edition, where it is illustrated twice.
Original and working paint with gunning wear, a few faint age lines in body, and a tight crack through the neck.
Provenance: J. Evans McKinney Collection
Dr. Morton D. Kramer Collection
