    Description

    Although crude in execution this old battery canvasback still has a lot of "presence".  He's had his head refastened many times, going by the number of nails in the neck.  He must have been a valued lure to be worth devoting so much time on its repair.  Measures 16" long with no eyes, significant paint loss on the body, and the ballast weight removed.  I bought this bird from  a mail order / phone auction outfit called "Sold USA".  They had a lot of vintage hunting and fishing and firearms, but I don't know if they're still in business.  They were a pre-internet entity, at least for me.  I paid 0.00 for him at the time which is what I'm listing him at.  Someone varnished the body at one time.
    I am happy to combine shipping.  Any shipping over payment will be refunded.  Shipping to the USA only.  No returns accepted.
