Lot Details & Additional Photographs
Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, circa 1930s, painted canvas over wire construction, published on page 313 of Gunnin' Birds by Kroghie Andresen.

Length 32 in.

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

Purchased from Manson Meekins on August 12, 1994.

The Marvin Midgett wooden decoys have a very stately look. He did not make many of them, so they are difficult to find and very collectible. The heads on his wooden decoys are all one piece, unlike his canvas decoys.

Original paint with light gunning wear.
