Lister Cartwright (1918-1992), Knotts Island, Virginia. Lister Cartwright coots are some of the more significant coot decoys from Back Bay and the Carolinas. The rough chopped bodies with the nail and canvas bills make them very collectible. This exact decoy is published on page 128 of Waterfowl Heritage North Carolina Decoys and Gunning Lore by Neal Conoley, Jr.
