Antique Hand Carved Wooden Duck Hunting Decoy – Early 20th Century

Authentic antique wooden duck decoy used in traditional waterfowl hunting rigs. This hand-carved example features a streamlined diver duck form with original working paint layers and a metal strap keel weight attached to the underside.

The decoy shows the honest wear expected from years of field use, including paint loss, surface aging, and a small tail chip consistent with working decoys stored in rig bags and transported during hunting seasons.

Features:

• Hand carved solid wood body

• Metal strap keel weight for stability in water

• Primitive black and cream painted finish

• Evidence of earlier green paint layers on head

• Authentic early 20th century gunning decoy

Condition:

Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear, paint loss, and a small chip to the tail from use. These characteristics are typical of genuine hunting decoys and add to the piece’s historical character.

Approximate era: Early 1900s
