Beaver Fish Decoy

Unusual ice spearing decoy fish decoy in form of a beaver showing decent age, but does not appear to have ever been used. It is rather light in weight, despite an inset weight in the bottom, and may not have sunk to the desired depth when the owner tried it and so became a shelf piece. It has two wire whiskers, as shown, one of which has been resecured. 8" long. Has tin feet and a nicely carved cross-hatched tail. More photos available upon request. Part of a Quebec collection. (CL-15 )
 
$225
