The carving bears a rectangular stamp, is signed, dated "1933," and exhibits a rarely seen "$5.00" pencil marking. This is a very rare large miniature that measures 50% longer than his standard miniature wood ducks. It also features special attention to the paint as illustrated by the extra color and feathering along the sides. Excellent original paint with light wear.
