The catalog record

Robert "Bob" White (b.1939) Tullytown, PA Both 10.5" long

Hollow carved working rigmate pair. Nicely sculpted with the classic Delaware River influenced raised 'V' wing tips, as well as the fluted tail feathers. Both have deep dimple lines in the breasts. The heads have glass eyes and carved bill details. The undersides bear the iconic Bob White quail triangle weights and their original line tie. The sides of the triangle weight say, Bob White, Decoys, Tullytown, PA with an image of a Bob White Quail on the surface. Both have superficial line marks around their midsection where their rig line would be wrapped around them.
