Ocracoke, North Carolina, circa 1910, carved and painted wood.

Length 18 in.

Gary Bragg is Ocracoke's most famous waterfowler. He guided many well- to-do sportsmen who wanted to hunt Ocracoke's storied waters. Dr. Edgar Burke gave Bragg a lot of recognition so many early collectors wanted to add a Bragg brant to their shelf.

Old gunning paint, age checks in the body.
