G28 Ellot Bros Easton Md canvasback duck Decoy “Chank” ( 1904-?) and Bill (1904-1971), twin brothers, were perhaps the last of the commercial makers of shooting stools (decoys) made of wood and cork in Talbot County.The Elliott brothers produced decoys that vary in style and quality. If the demands of time allowed, they were capable of producing decoys of high quality. Their decoys have a distinctive “Elliott look” about them. All are flat – bottomed with deep cuts between the bill and the head which is characteristically narrow. Eyes are painted and located high on the head. This Decoy is in good condition in it's original paint
