Evans Decoy Company Canvasback Pair

Evans Duck Decoy Co. (1921-1932) Ladysmith, WI, c. 1930 A pair of near-mint canvasbacks that appear as if they came directly out of their original shipping crate. Both retain the original “EVANS DECOY” rubber stamp on underside.

Both are in excellent original condition with minute flaking around the neck seams. The hen has a rub to the left side of the bill and one small ding to side of body that may be original to the wood.
