Authentic Herter’s 1893‑Series Ruddy Duck drake, carved in solid wood and built as a working decoy for traditional waterfowl hunting. Ruddy Ducks are one of the less frequently seen species in the Herter’s lineup, making them desirable among collectors. This example features the classic rounded Ruddy profile, crisp carving lines, and aged paint that reflects its working history.
Ideal for collectors of vintage waterfowl gear, cabin décor, sporting displays, or traditional gunning rigs. Wooden Herter’s decoys continue to rise in value due to scarcity and strong collector demand.
