Original rigmate pair of Bluebills.  The drake is an alert pose with the hen being Billy's own unique form of sleeper.  The drake has comb painting on the back and sides.  Billy's fingerprints are still visible on the bottom from handling during painting
 
Condition: Minor gunning wear.  Drake's neck seam has become a little lose with possible small touch up in that area.  Both are otherwise entirely original.  Drake has a couple dents on the body.
