Poplar Branch, North Carolina, circa 1940, carved and painted wood.

Length 18 in.

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

Purchased from the Daniel Gallop family on June 18, 1997.

Wallace moved his family to Aydlett in the 1920s and bought a farm. They established a small lodge called the Wild Game Inn. He sold his market hunting rig in the early 1920s to Jospeh Knapp. Knapp founded Ducks Unlimited in 1937. Knapp cut the bottoms down so the could ride the Currituck chop better. This is one of the finest O'Neal, Jr birds known.


Original paint with light gunning wear, a few tight age checks.
