For your biddnig pleasure is a Harry R. Jobes hand carved Canvasback drake decoy. Captain Harry R. Jobes has been carving decoys for most of his life. He began carving in Havre de Grace, Maryland, at the age of nine and learned the art of decoy making in its truest form from R. Madison Mitchell. He worked in Mitchell's decoy shop for over 25 years before opening a shop of his own. The Captain has spent all of his life on the Chesapeake Bay and Susquehanna Flats as a commercial waterman, hunting guide and charter boat captain. This close association with nature has given him first hand insight into the waterfowl world. Captain Harry's decoys have been featured in books and museums as well as numerous private collections across the country. This Canvasback drake decoy showcases Jobes 25 years of experience. The original paint on this piece showcases wonderful detail and has held up well. Attached is a painted lead weight. Two small cracks are present but they do not retract from the overall appearance of the decoy. This decoy has been carved into a resting position and measures 13" x 6" x 8".
