Portsmouth Island, North Carolina, circa 1930s, carved and painted wood.

Height 15.75 in.

From the Personal Collection of Mr. Kroghie Andresen, Charlotte, North Carolina

Former collection of DC North and collected from a rig found in Atlantic, North Carolina.

This tip-up decoy is unusual since most examples were geese or brant. This body is unusually long but the two ballast weights were added to provide balance.

Original paint, heavy scuffing of paint, heavy wood check on belly, cotton anchor line and two lead weights attached.
