Evans Duck Decoy Co. (1921-1932) Ladysmith, WI, c. 1925 15 in. long

The Evans book goes in depth on the mysteries of what is called a goldeneye hen. Indeed, there are no known Evans drake whistlers. This decoy bears a bolt as a weight on the underside. Original paint with heavy gunning wear and a re-glued neck.
