Reggie Birch of Chincoteague, Virginia is one of today's most sought after carvers, and this Old Squaw is an odd bird for him. He hasn't made very many. Reggie quickly sold out during his appearance at the 2008 Waterfowl Festival in Easton, and is now sharing time between Chincoteague, Virginia and Germany. He is featured in Loy Harrell's book "Decoys: Sixty Living and Outstanding North American Carvers". |

This 1948 Ward Brothers Canvasback is stamped on the bottom showing that it was once a part of the R.H. Richardson collection - author of the classic decoy book "Chesapeake Bay Decoys". It has been repaired and repainted like most gunning stools of long ago. It was found at an auction in Virginia. Ward Bothers decoys in this price range are getting hard to find. |
