Lead Early Glasseye Black Duck - Mason Decoy Factory
Description
Mason Decoy Factory (1896-1924) Detroit, MI c.1900 16" long In the first half of the 00's, the orders coming into the shed sized factory outgrew capacity and led to the creation of the more uniformed, lathe turned bodies, seen in the later half of the 00's. Surviving in far fewer numbers, this black duck is an example from the period just before their expansion. The concept of 'Standard Grade' Glasseye models was just starting to take hold. The hand carved body is slightly larger, the neck seat is far more pronounced, and the bold chest protrudes outward. All of those characteristics are evident from the more commonly made Challenge and Premier grades at that time. The untouched example has survived the roughly 125 years in quite appealing condition. The dry paint is vibrant on all sides, including the head. Condition: Original with light gunning wear to include some dents and pant scuffs. Neck filler is missing. Tight age split in bottom.
