Drake Redhead by J.R. Wells, Toronto, Canada, ca. 1910-35. Wells made a delicately crafted decoy. The body is hollow-carved and very light weight. He has a bottom board that is attached with about 3 nails per inch, no leaks on this bird! The head is wonderful with glass eyes and fine bill carving. The physical condition is excellent. The surface is repainted in the same manner that Wells painted. The look and feel of this old decoy will be enjoyed for many years to come.
