FOLKY ANTIQUE WOOD & CANVAS CANADIAN GOOSE DECOY This is one Great and Folky decoy
Goose! It is made of a wooden frame, inside of a painted cloth body,
stuffed with a straw like material. From what we can tell, the inner
frame has a solid block of wood on the bottom, up to the tail, and a
frame along the top "backbone" and front chest of the goose. The
doweled head fits loosely into a hole in the body and can swivel 360
degrees. We presume that the decoy was made this way for easy
transport, and so that the head could be placed in any desired
position. The head and neck are made of two pieces glued / doweled
together. The canvas is tightly tacked to the frame and expertly hand
painted to create a genuinely realistic goose. The material is very
strong and has a thick coat of paint on it. Because of this, there are
no tears in the canvas. As the durability and craftsmanship show, who
ever made this goose had plenty of practice. The condition is Very Good
with some minor wear throughout, consistent with its older age. The
head has lost a little paint around the edges, but is still in Great
shape. The goose measures 20 inches from chest to tail, and 16 inches
to the top of the head. Please check our Excellent feedback and bid with confidence We will pack properly and ship promptly UPS domestic insured ground shipping $10 CLICK "HERE" FOR A
