Christopher C. Smith (1861-1938) Algonac, MI, c. 1900 14" long - Goldeneye 15" long - Redhead Hen

Two decoys by the talented carver and wood worker, Chris Smith. Best known for his boat company, Chris Craft Boat Company.

The first is a sculpturally pleasing low-head hollow carved working decoy that likely began life as a Bluebill. The decoy is structurally sound and has some spots of original paint but is mostly covered in a thin second coat representing a goldeneye. The second is a hollow carved redhead hen in original condition, and still retains its original rigging. Condition: As is
