Canvasback Pair of Cast Iron
Decoys by Madison Mitchell
Havre de Grace MD
(1901-1993)


A pair of cast iron sinkbox
decoys by Madison Mitchell.
This pair is off his early original
pattern and not the later
copies. They are in
original paint and condition.
They have been outside at one
time as they have some rust
and wear. They have some
white paint spots on them
from being around a painter.
It might clean off. I have not
tried. They would look great in
an entry way or by a fireplace.
They are very heavy so shipping
will not be cheap. Local pick-up
is always an option.
