Ned Burgess (NC, 1868-1958), Important Pair of Published Pintails

Church's Island, North Carolina, circa 1930s, carved and painted wood, the hen is published on page 125 of Gunnin' Birds by Kroghie Andresen.. Length 17.25 in. x 9 x 6.5 Formerly in the collection of Kroghie Andresen. From the Mose White hunting rig, Sunbury, North Carolina. Mose White provided juniper lumber to Ned Burgess. Many of these juniper logs were harvested in the Dismal Swamp and were pulled out of the swamp by a small powerful rail engine affectionately named Lokie. The Mose White stand of pintails are considered Burgess's finest paint application as they have an art deco flourish. The hen is different than his other pintails as the body as an almost lavender case color with attractive bars and dots for the speculum. The drakes do not have the white stripe down the neck. Original paint with light gunning wear.
