Antique Wood duck decoys are another hobby for hunter and art collector.
The decoy ducks both have glass eyes and measured 17.5" in length and no maker name.
History of Waterfowl Decoy Collecting:
Ever since Joel Barber, the first known decoy collector, started in 1918, decoys have become increasingly viewed as an important form of North American folk art.
Today wildfowl decoys (primarily ducks, geese, shorebirds, and crows,
but including some other species) are considered a form of folk art. Collecting decoys has become a significant hobby both for folk art collectors and hunters. The world record was set in
January 2007 when a red-breasted merganser hen (circa 1875) by Lothrop Holmes of Kingston, MA sold for $856,000.
