Sam Walker was known for making some extremely durable and effective canvas geese. He delivered an order of canvas geese to the Pine Island Club in 1919. This example was probably made closer to 1940 after he finished working at the Tibwin Plantation in South Carolina.

Original paint with wear to canvas at wire ribs.
