Default Wooden Counterfeits

I thought I'd start a thread for forum members to show us some of their collection of wooden counterfeits.

Many here have an interest in decoys, some here are even serious collectors. Tastes and styles vary. I have an eclectic collection that varies from antique gunning decoys to contemporary duck decoys, songbirds and raptors. I'll start it off with a pair of King Eiders carved by Paul Dittman from Wisconsin . . . now let's see some of yours!

as far as "collection" I have a few- mostly factory, wildfowler, Ken Harris and a few unknowns

pretty basic selection - I'll get some pictures

but--- does cork count? - they are not vintage - but here are mine at work

here is a well worn one - any one have any ideas of origin

i thought this one was a bit unusual and brought it home in spite of the condition -how many times did a sleeper merganser get used to wear the paint off. thought it deserve to retire to under a lamp

how about a couple other unknowns - no marking at all

this one - to me at least - has a bit of a Stratford Ct look to it- but I'm far from really knowing what I am talking about with vintage blocks- unfortunately- looks like some paint was added- as with many i get - i liked the head shape



and this one in a total unknown - maybe just the product of someone carving his own-
has just a couple pellet strikes - so it was used before sitting some place where it got a very few white paint splatters - I liked the head and thought the body well done- its cork, but well sealed before painting

Those are both great birds. I like the heads and overall lines
