The catalog record
Edward J. Phillips (1901-1964) Cambridge, MD, c. 1925 Long considered one of the Eastern Shore’s finest carvers, Phillips' birds are difficult to come by in original paint. This folky little bluebill is from one of his earliest rigs. In original paint with minor shrinkage, rubs, and wear to sides.
Literature: Decoy Magazine, September/October 1991, p. 37.
