"The Ward Brothers' Decoys" authors Gard and McGrath discussing this exact decoy state, "The paint is in excellent condition and shows some legitimate wear. There is a rich patina that makes the bird very attractive." The underside of this decoy displays both of the brothers' signatures, the inked inscription "1930 Ward Bros. Crisfield, MD," a Richardson Collection ink stamp, and two inked stamps and the "MK"brand designating the Kramer Collection.
A mix of original and working paint with gunning wear.
