Ward Brothers Mallard Pair

The Ward Brothers Lemuel T. (1896-1984) and Stephen (1895-1976) Crisfield, MD, c. 1956

A sophisticated pair of carvings with intricate feather detail. These birds were a special gift from Frank Lewis, a referee for the Philadelphia Gun Club, to his life-long friend and shooting buddy, Francis “Sandy” Wood, an employee of Winchester Arms in New Haven, CT. Both identified by species and signed “L.T. Ward - Bro., Crisfield, MD – 1956 - Best Grade.” In excellent original condition.
