Two pix of birds in my cabin.
The first has a Madison Mitchell goose which has never been in the water. It is set on a pedestal of 3" Winchester shells
Second is a nasty black duck which I bought because of the unique keel/weighting arrangement. The bird has two screw eyes on the bottom flanks with a v shaped piece of rod holding a thimble sized piece of lead, In the stored position, The thimble is pocketed into the floor of the decoy, and held in place by a screen door hasp. Guaranteed to be self-righting.

The two right hand birds are attributed to a St Claire Flats carver named Budgeon St. Pierre. Repaints which were owned by my best friend's Dad.

In the second picture are a pair of Mallards I carved, (Cedar bodies, basswood heads) and entered in a working decoy competition. They were the first birds taken out of the tank, but they are still mine

While at an antique store over the weekend there was "an early Mason" decoy that was a Canvasback. I asked to look at it then saw the price $875

Which model

Better model. Glass eye & very good paint.

Might not be out of line

It didn't mention any particular model and I don't recall if it had glass eyes or not. I know that a Mason decoy can bring big bucks but this wasn't in that good of condition. There was another Mason there for under $200.

Yeah. Not a mason collector. But I know there are several grades. Each finished better than the last. And then with in the grades there is rarity to be concerned with

So a rare bird in a better model will command a price that might seem out of line to the "uninitiated". Serious decoy collecting is like serious gun collecting


Better know your stuff
