The catalog record
Willie Ross (1878-1954) Chebeague Island, ME, c. 1915 Displaying Ross' very best form. In dry original paint, lightly hit by shot, with a few minor rubs to the head and body, minute chip to the underside of the bill. The typical inletted head is detachable due to the securing nails having rusted out, missing the original horsehair crest.
