- Lot Description
Ruddy Turnstone
John McAnney (1866-1949)
New Gretna, NJ c. 1910
Of the few McAnney turnstones that have survived, this is believed by many to bee the finest example known. Henry Fleckenstein chose to feature this example in color in his New Jersey book, highlighting the bird's crisp and brilliant paint. Whether he intended it or not, McAnney's black paint pattern on the decoy's throat bears a striking resemblance to a woodpeckers head. Excellent original paint with minimal gunning wear.
