According to John's son and Cigar Daisey, the resident carver of the museum for over 20 years, John had Frank make him a rig of these decoys for his Cobb Island display. This is an exact duplicate of the Cobb black duck pictured in Fleckenstein's book, Southern Decoys of Virginia & the Carolinas. (plate 414, p. 199) The birds were made for John in the 1970s, making it over 40 years old. Hollow carved with a wonderful serified "N" in the bottom. Original paint. Tie line & bottom weight. The finely sculpted head is inletted to the body. If you were to order a copy of a Cobb decoy today from any of the three great masters: Finney, McInty or McNair, the cost would run in the $2000-$4000 range.
