Roy Conklin Four Miniature Flyers

Roy A. Conklin, Jr. (1909-1967) Alexandria Bay, NY, c. 1935 Roy Conklin learned his craft from his town's master decoy carvers, Frank Coombs (1882-1958) and Chauncey Wheeler (1888-1945). This lot includes four eight-inch half-bodied flyers: a wood duck, green-winged teal, blue-winged teal and redhead. Each is faintly identified in pencil on the back and ink stamped "Roy Conklin Jr." and "copyright R. A. C." All are in original paint. The wood duck and blue-winged teal have broken wing tips. The blue-winged teal's foot needs to be reset.
