ITEMS FOR SALE
 
Rocket Tailed Roller:    
Here is a wonderful “Rocket Tailed Roller” by noted carver Frank Finney. This bird is perched upon what would appear to be a fence corner post top. The colors are antiqued but remain vibrant and very vivid. It has wonderful patina and appears to be a vintage item. It probably already is 25 to 35 + years old. However Mr. Finney from what I’ve heard does still carve and this item may not be that old. I will let the final owner decide. I’m fairly certain that the birds eyes are glass and that the rest of the carving is wood. The outside of each tail feather does appear to have been broken off. Not sure how long they would have been but I’m thinking they would have been turned up feathers and very fragile. It is still a super nice carving and very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Mr. Finney’s carvings have enjoyed some great success at auctions in the recent past. Due to this his carvings have become increasingly difficult to obtain. Get this rare species here and now to start or add to your collection. This bird is about 6.5” long tip of tail to tip of beak. The base is 3 ¾” wide. $849.00.
   
Hen Wood Duck:    
"Here you have a beautiful hen wood duck by Kleim and signed under the bill. He was wildfowlers master painter and this decoy shows evidence of that. Overall a nice early bird with good history as written on the bottom. I do have more photos so please ask if interested. The neck has been broken and re-glued, overall it is in pretty good condition. Thank you for your interest. Priced to sell quick at $249.00." 
 
   
HERON LAKE DUCK CALL:    
HERON LAKE DUCK CALL. Here is a very rare collectible A D Sontag Heron Lake (MN) duck call. It is quite large being about 6 3/4" long and almost 1 7/8" wide. From my understanding the barrel of the call is original and very old. Marv Meyer hand-made the stopper and "guts" for this and the other calls that were found. He signed them as seen in the photos. These calls are very collectible and there are not very many known to exist so get them now whilst you can. Thank you very much for your interest in my auctions. If you have any questions please ask prior to bidding, I'll do my best to answer them and will get back to everyone that asks. We do prefer that all sales are final. Please also view my other items up and running in my ebay store, deal with me direct to save fees. Click on the ebay store link at top of my homepage. Thank you for your interest in my auction. $275.00 Sincerely, JB
   
Wood Duck Hen:    
Wood duck hen coming out of her nest (a burl) with chick under breast. This piece was found in a box of burls that Charly Perdew had "put away". He used the burls for stands and mounting miniature/decorative duck decoys. This piece sold at the Perdew estate sale several years back. The winner was lucky and found this piece in the bottom of the box. The burl is a little under 4" long and 3" wide. Superb craftmanship only as Charly could imagine. Here is a chance to own a mint Charly Perdew carved and painted minty original piece. They don't come along very often and if you even think you like it... you better buy it. All of Charlies miniatures were one of kind. So get it now while you can. You can visit my ebay store to see more photos of the piece. It will be priced a little higher to account for all of the fees. Thank you for looking. 1,750.00.
