Ward Bro hen Can

Super nice hollow carved hen "LESSER CANVASBACK" decoy by the Ward Brothers, Crisfield, MD. Signed and dated 1964. Plus nice signature "TO PETE + JUNE FROM LEM + STEVE". Excellent original paint and condition. Great looking classic Ward Brothers hen Canvasback here, very clean and nicely done rarer style for that era and the condition is excellent. I never heard of a "Lesser Canvasback" but Wards way smarter then me about ducks. The price of good Wards continue to be strong, they are great American folk art and stand on their own. This is a sweet hen example for any collector looking to add a classic Ward Canvasback and demands excellentl condition examples and investment quality decoys. E-mail for more pics!
