| 546Early Snakey-Head Evans Mammoth Mallard Drake This old guy, probably carved before Walter Evans bought a stamp, is a beauty despite some wear below the water line. The fronts of the speculums are worn off a bit, but overall the paint is in good condition. These older mallards have a clover-leaf carving above the top of the bill, and this bird has a great one.
