The catalog record
The Ward Brothers Lemuel T. (1896-1984) and Stephen (1895-1976) Crisfield, MD, 1967 24 in. long
The Wards made very few hollow decoys such as this large turned-head Canada goose. The underside is signed and dated by the brothers.
The underside also retains a note from the oracle of Crisfield: "The stone cast away by the clod becomes a jewel into the hands of a genius, Lem Ward" Outstanding original paint with minimal wear and hairline crack on left side of neck.
