Gardner Family Goose Pair

Gardner Family Nantucket, MA, c. 1900 23 1/2 in. long

A rare Nantucket goose pair made with two-piece heads. Islanders were known to hunt geese in the fields and both of these floaters have holes for use as stick-ups. One is in original paint with heavy gunning wear with original imperfections to wood and some repair to bill tip. The brighter bird is in repaint.
