ABOUT THIS DECOY<br />
This exceedingly rare and beautiful<br />
blackhead wing duck decoy was made<br />
and used by Eldon Willis, Monnie Willis,<br />
Howard Pittman, and Jasper Golden,<br />
circa 1940. This bird is published in Neal<br />
Conoley`s Waterfowl <strong>Heritage</strong>, North<br />
Carolina Decoys and Gunning Lore, page<br />
263. A new boxed limited-edition of this<br />
historically significant publication (#82<br />
of 100) is included with the decoy. This<br />
book has become highly collectible. Neal<br />
Conoley discovered a few books in his attic<br />
and has donated this edition to the Core<br />
Sound Museum for a “special” occasion.<br />
This book gives important significance<br />
to this decoy and is offered as a one-time<br />
opportunity for Core Sound collectors at<br />
this year’s <strong>Heritage</strong> <strong>Auction</strong>.<br />
