Extremely extremely rare one of the first ones, Jeff Fleming ever made back in Manhattan, Montana, USA. This is an old piece, so please be aware. There are some cracking I seen in the pictures but nothing to wear. It’s coming apart or nothing terrible like that. It does have some cracks from age. This particular one has the extremely rare snout with the head with a tiny little black snout so different to the other ones that you see that were later made. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is very early and very very rare. Incredibly, it still has the original tag and the original eyes. This is all original we have not cleaned or touched up. This was found at the estate sale up in the mountains near Lake Tahoe. Yes, yes it’s weathered and has some cracks as you can see, but this is all original and super super rare. We think the stand has been added as it has the newest screws, but we do not want to take off or will sell it as it is with the stand complete size with the stand. It’s just a little over 20 inches. He is just so adorable. We can’t make out if the eyes are plastic or glass, but they are definitely original to the piece. He is quite heavy, and his face is absolutely adorable cutest face in town. Here’s approximately just over 20 inches tall and the largest widest point from his hands to his back is approximately 8 inches so he’s quite a showstopper. What’s absolutely wonderful is he is very very old and early. You just don’t find these old wooden ones anymore. Thank you so much for looking. Enjoy this beautiful beautiful, rare peace. We are open to offer.

Vintage 1984 Thomas Chandler Hand Carved Mallard Drake Duck Decoy Signed. Beautiful hand-carved and hand-painted wooden Mallard drake decoy by Thomas Chandler, signed and dated 1984 on the underside. Chandler is associated with Big Sky Carvers, although this particular piece is not marked Big Sky Carvers. Features rich hand-painted detail, visible wood grain and glass eyes. A beautiful and hard-to-find example of Chandler’s work. Hand carved and hand painted. CONDITION: Good vintage condition with scattered scuffs, scratches and small dings from age and display. The tip of the tail has an irregular area that may be a small chip; however, there is paint/finish over the area, so it is difficult to determine whether it occurred during carving or later. Please review close-up photos for condition. A wonderful vintage waterfowl carving for a decoy, sporting art or wildlife collection.
