ORIGINAL 1979 HOLGER G SMITH (1903-1982) 'PLOVER' CARVED AND PAINTED DECOY

This is just a great original piece. I have had this for a while and it has sat on a shelf in my office.  I really like it and thought about keeping it for my personal collection but have no room left for it.  This is a wonderful original carved and painted Plover decoy by important Cape Cod carver Holger Smith.  I have not found a similar to one that he did.  Most are ducks that I have seen.  This is a wonderful small size example standing 10 inches tall and is about 6 inches across.  Overall good condition.  The neck where the head was attached to the body shows some spotting of paint loss all the way around.  Another small spot of paint loss on the body as well as just below the beak where it touches the body.  They all sound worse then they are.  Standing on its original rod and wood base it really presents very well.  Bottom of the base is signed and dated as well as addressed in pen.  It also has the artist's original brand.  Really just a very good example of the carver's work.  FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES!!!
