Default Interesting Decoy.....

Or it would be interesting if the seller actually had any provenance other than the card taped to the bottom. I didn't ask, so maybe they do....

WHF did carve decoys and he made sneak boats too but so did a couple of his close friends make the same sneak boats and carve the same decoys. It would be interesting to know what else the seller has to support the attached card.

No provenance discussion on this one, but have you ever seen a catamaran canvasback? The anchor is clamped between the keels in a spring clip

I don't know. I really don't follow the decoy market and their specific carvers per se.
