E573 Rare 1952 Canvasback Drake Decoy carved by Captain Harry Jobes for his personal hunting rig branded on bottom ( H. R. J.) Original paint with that great early head style!   Harry is a legendary talent, a master of gunning birds made in the style of the area, "The Susquehanna Flats", Chesapeake Bay decoys. His carving career began in Charles Nelson Barnard’s decoy shop which was located two blocks up the street from his home at the age of 8 or 9 by sanding duck heads. After several years Mr. Barnard died and Harry began working for the legendary Madison Mitchell.
