John Ramsey Stick-up Brant

John Ramsey (1858-1934) Summerside, Prince Edward Island, c. 1890 Ramsey's turn-of-the-century goose rig is considered one of the finest ever created in Maritime Canada. The head of this decoy exhibits two-piece construction, which discouraged bill damage. This stick-up decoy was carved in a walking posture with two heavy wire legs. Original working paint with gunning wear. Professional restoration to neck seam by Paul Fortin.
