David W. Nichol Rare Barrows Goldeneye

Davey W. Nichol (1890-1977) Smith Falls, Ontario, Canada 13" long

An incredibly rare species for this maker. Carved in his retirement period when he was on an open mission to carve most every species of waterfowl. The decoy has carved feathering with carved tail feathers. The bill is carved with his etched lines where the bill meets the face. Soft iridescence in the head paint.

Condition: Near mint with some minor shelf wear and a few small dots on the back
