O.J. Tuttle Standing Mallard

 

This miniature standing Mallard Drake is very nicely detailed. Stands on a 4" by 5" base that is marked on the bottom: O.J. Tuttle and dated 1979. Decoy stands 5" tall and measures 6" from tip of bill to tip of tail feathers.

Eyes appear to be glass. There is a tiny bit of damage - one primary wing tip is missing and the other one is loose. Also there is a ding to the finish on its head. Certainly no loss of character here! Photo #3 shows these flaws.
