Horace "Hi" Crandall Miniature Mallard Pair
Mint, miniature mallard pair by Horace “Hi” Crandall (Westwood, CA) ca. 1940s. As Michael Miller states in Wildfowl Decoys of California on page 584, “I’m not alone in thinking that Hi Crandall miniatures are among the best carved in North America.” These are the paperweight examples with a small amount of lead inserted in the bottom and covered with green felt. You simply won’t find a finer pair by this most collectable of early California makers. Each measures just under 7” in length.
