Jimmy Pierce did indeed work for Madison Mitchell for a time, primarily doing finish priming and painting when Mitchell got backlogged with bulk orders for gun clubs or individuals. One of my treasured possessions is a Jimmy Pierce pigeon decoy which I picked up at a local swap and sell meet for next to nothing, said to have been done in his spare time as he waited for the next batch of decoys to finish out in Mitchell's shop.
