VINTAGE BILL FINKLE PINTAIL DRAKE HOLLOW DUCK DECOY MICHIGAN RARE SPECIES
Price: US $336.00

Up for sale is a very rare, hollow-carved Drake Pintail made by Bill Finkle of Weale, Michigan near the Saginaw Bay ca. 1920s.  This is one of the few pintail by this maker ever seen.  Structurally the decoy is excellent with no age checks and what appear to be its original glass eyes.  There are a few shot marks on the left side of the head and body, and there is a stable crack in the right glass eye. Bill carving is very nicely done.  There may be remnants of original paint however the lion’s share of the paint on the decoy is later.   This is a tough to find example of Finkle’s work and the form looks just spectacular on the shelf.  Measures 17-1/2” long; 6” wide and 6” tall.  Please ask questions or for more pictures. Shipping includes insurance and is higher outside of the USA.  Thanks for looking.
