Rare Bluebill Decoy Robert Freirich (1912-1971) Tullytown, PA, c. 1930 12 3/4 in. long
Very few of this maker's decoys have surfaced, as it appears Freirich only made decoys for his own use. This hollow bluebill is stamped "R FREIRICH, TULLYTOWN, PA" on the weight for the maker's personal rig. Old working paint with even gunning wear.
