A rare pair of unrigged/unused solid carved redwood pintails by Richard “Fresh Air Dick” Janson (Sonoma, CA) ca. 1930s-1940s. These examples are part of the “barrel birds” rig. A collection of unused examples discovered in a 55 gallon drum in Humboldt County, CA in the early 1980s. These examples rarely come available to the open market. And, a pair is exceedingly rare. These exact examples are shown in multiple photos on pages 146-149 of Richard “Fresh Air Dick” Janson by Wallace Lourdeaux. If you’ve ever wanted a single pair by this maker, you will not find better examples.
