- Lot Description
The Ellenberg McAnney Ruddy Turnstone
John McAnney (1866-1949)
New Gretna, NJ, c. 1910
9 3/4 in. long
Of the few McAnney turnstones that have survived, this is believed by many to be the finest example known. Henry Fleckenstein chose to feature it 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 woodpecker's head.
Excellent original paint with minimal gunning wear.
