Styrofoam?.
Not a decoy collector, but 30 years ago I found these and a few others one Spring, after the high water, ice and wind had swept over a Martha's Vineyard pond and receded. The pond's shoreline used to be a remote area, with an old-time duck camp. But, by 1987 that camp had been turned into one of the many Summer cottages that then rimmed the shoreline.
As for the unfinished head: that decoy survived headless; so I carved a new head for it. Had never carved anything before, nor since.
Not collector-grade -- synthetic, beat up and probably shot up. But, they would still have a story to tell, and I like them.
