Solid carved redwood redhead drake by William “Bill” McLellan (Eureka, CA) ca. 1940. All McLellan redheads were discovered in the collection of the important California wine maker August Sebastiani. McLellan is most famous for his brant, which have sold for significant amounts. His duck decoys are quite rare and seldom come available. Good original paint on this example with a partial neck crack on the left side. Measures just over 14” in length. See pages 58-69 of Wildfowl Decoys of California by Michael Miller for additional information on this important early north California coast decoy maker.
