- Lot Description
Canvas Cackling Goose
Burley Earl Russell (1891-1984)
Stockton, CA, c. 1935
22 in. long
Russell was one of the first to create the canvas-kapok decoys and was also the most accomplished. A talented carpenter and well-known sportsman, the maker was reported to have actively hunted well into his eighth decade of life.
This rare little cackling goose has raised wing tips and a flat bottom insert with a hole for use as a stickup or sitting field decoy.
Original and early working paint with gunning wear and a tear in the tail.
