Description

RARE Blue Heron (in white phase), by John Tax of West Union Minn., 1894-1967, signed on bottom and dated 1917, GE, solid wood on post with drifted wood base, 22'' wide x 27'' tall, All of John Tax decoys are very rare. Some have sold in the range of 55,000 - 115,000, Experts claim that Tax may have only carved several hundred decoys in his lifetime; however there are only 85 known Tax decoys accounted for at this time. John Tax passed away in his home town of Osakis, MN on July 15, 1967. Osakis Minnesota honored John Tax by proclaiming June 8, 1996 as ''John Tax Day'', any collector would. As you might expect, John Tax decoys are in high demand by collectors. Several have been documented as being sold at decoy auctions at bids of $20,000-$40,000. Many decoy collectors would be pleased to add a John Tax decoy to their collection, but unfortunately only a few will have that pleasure. Grade: Excellent - Value: 1000 to 20000
