More Images: #2, #3, #4		 Anderson Metal Hen Pintail

Anderson Decoy, San Francisco,CA.
Very Rare Anderson Factory Hen Pintail in original paint as well as condition. These metal decoys were only produced in the late 20's as Pintails and mostly these were Drake's. Most of the 30,000 produced no longer exist due to rust. This example is both very rare because it is a Hen Pintain and because it shows no rust at all making it a rare and Mint example! The decoy is formed in a right and left half and the pieces are soldered together. A short wire is also formed and soldered into the base to form the line atatachment. The company was actually called the B.C. stamping company. The name Anderson Decoy is stamped onto the bottom. This decoy was probably painted across the bay by the Scott Decoy Company. This is a very rare find for anyone interested in investment grade factory decoys.
