- Lot Description
Canada Goose
Ed Vidmar (1922-1991)
Pittsburg, CA, c. 1951
25 in. long
Early collectible Canada geese by named makers from California are difficult to source. This classic Vidmar goose displays fine paint and a grand body made lighter by a hollow in the underside. The bottom of this gunning decoy was also signed by the maker. Vidmar sourced this head from another one of his decoys. "The classic Vidmar decoys," writes Miller, "hold places of honor with California collectors."
Original paint with even gunning wear, reset neck seat, and touch-up to reset line in neck.
Provenance: Richard and Dorothy Wheeler Collection
