Half-Sized Flying Canada Goose with a Strong Attribution to Al Freeman from Duxbury Area of the South Shore of Massachusetts, circa 1940. Well Carved with Strong Original Paint, Freeman is known to have made both hunting decoys and smaller carvings such as this flying goose. The Bill displays detailed carving, the bird has little bead eyes, the legs and feet are dropped down in the same manner as real geese flying, and the wide spread wings are attached to the body. There is a glued break to a tip of one primary wing and an almost invisible dent to the tip of the bill; otherwise, the condition is excellent and original. The Goose measures 12 ½” in length with another 3 ½” for the base, 18 ¾” in width wing tip to wing tip, and 9” in height, including the stand. Please ask for addition photos for a complete view of this fine Flying Canada Goose.

We are pleased to offer an Exceptionally Fine Cormorant by Reggie Birch of Chincoteague, Virginia. Reggie made this carving a number of years ago for another customer who has decided to part with it. It is Signed Twice on the Bottom: “Reggie Birch / Chincoteague, VA” and his newer “R. Birch.” This Cormorant has wonderful lines, a slightly turned head and a soft paint pattern. There are some minor white paint spots on the bird, but they don’t detract from the presentation and suggest its age. The piece measures 26” in length, 9 ½” in width, and 9 ¼” in height. Please ask for photos.
