Curlew
John McAnney (1866-1949)
New Gretna, NJ, c. 1900
13 in. long
McAnney was a lifelong member of the North Brigantine Life-Saving Service, a bayman, and a hunting and fishing guide. According to Henry A. Fleckenstein Jr. in "New Jersey Decoys," he claimed to have never missed a day of any gunning season. He created a refined and effective curlew form with some of the finest paint detail by any New Jersey shorebird decoy maker.
This fine example displays rich textured paint with precise feathering.
Original paint with light wear, original bill is reset at base.
