This guy sat on a shelf in my parents house for years, and I recently acquired him through some downsizing of "stuff" as they consider a move to the beach. I never gave the decoy much thought until seeing this thread. I know nothing about it, but a quick Google search turned up some interesting info on Miles Hancock. My Dad grew up on the Eastern Shore, so I'll have to find out how my Grandfather came by this one.
