Here we have a very nice and vintage Perch, Ice Spearing, Fish Decoy, 1940-1950's. Painted a warm yellow belly, and olive green across back and upper sides. Black painted Perch banding and dashes. Brass tack eyes, and copper fins throughout. The carver clearly was an admirer of the Goulette Perch. This piece is 5 3/4"long, and very much intact. Much of the original paint is still present, with a clear coat applied, which is now a little golden. A great ...example of a Classic Lake St. Clair Fish, with a fantastic patina appropriate to its age.
