Tucked-Head Mallard
Ferdinand L. Homme (1901-1963)
Stoughton, WI, c. 1930
16 1/2 in. long
An excellent hollow mallard with extensive carved detail, including raised primaries. The tucked head is turned to the left and has very full cheeks. This decoy relates closely to those branded for the rig of Dr. Ansley Thomas Shearer.
Original paint with even gunning wear and spot touch-up mostly to body seam and shot marks.
Literature: Robert Shaw, "Bird Decoys of North America," New York, NY, 2010, p. 254, McCleery example illustrated.
