Here is a picture of the "new" goose. At one time was sold in a Schmidt and Guyette auction. The old bird I pictured earlier, sure does look like a Mitchell, now that I can compare it to an original.

The stand I made for displaying the Goose features Winchester #4 copper paper shells as stanchions for the goose.

JJ - There's a lot of things I'm not, and decoy expert is one of them. The auction description called it Mitchell, so that's what I'm calling it, but the description may have been wrong. Regardless, I like it

If I remember correctly Jobes apprenticed and worked for Mitchell and then he left to open his own shop making decoys like Mitchell's style. Original Mitchell are valued more than Jobes.

Here is what a friend of mine has just carved while self-quarantining in his house on Martha's Vineyard.

A decorative Pintail, from a piece of dense and figured pine.

Here area few pics of a slat goose which I did a number of years ago. My wife thinks it makes a nice planter, hence the flowerpot in the back. ARGH! Thought I had these rotated. Oh Well. Lay on your side

Here is a primitive hand-carved swan decoy from the Dames Quarter area of Deal Island, MD. The bottom is penknife-signed, "V. Robinson."

Duck hunters will likely recognize the shelving used to display these decoys.
