Three Early Plovers

Circa 1910, carved and painted wood, one stamped P underneath tail.

Longest Length 12 in.

A flattie with iron bill likely from North Carolina, a very old root head with tail carving likely from New York, and a swimming posed bird with a bill splined through the head with an incised P brand attributed to Virginia.

Two in original paint, one stripped down with an application of linseed oil, all with moderate gunning wear, hit by shot.
