Description :

Collection of four vintage hand-carved duck decoys from multiple makers, including a Ducks Unlimited commemorative decoy, a signed Martin P. Lindberg wood duck, a hand-painted loon, and a mallard drake. Includes a rustic wood display stump. One decoy bears a Martin P. Lindberg, Forest, Mississippi label, another is marked Dayton Hudson/Ducks Unlimited, and the collection displays attractive folk art craftsmanship with hand-painted finishes.

Approx. Measurements: Decoys approximately 6–12" L × 3–6" W × 3–6" H; display stump approximately 8–12" H

Condition: Good vintage condition with expected paint wear, minor scuffs, finish loss, and age-related handling wear. Labels remain partially intact where present. No major structural damage observed. Sold as a decorative collection exactly as pictured.

Historical Note: Hand-carved duck decoys originated as functional hunting tools before becoming highly collectible examples of American folk art. During the late 20th century, artists and conservation organizations such as Ducks Unlimited commissioned decorative decoys celebrating North American waterfowl, with regional makers like Martin P. Lindberg producing sought-after handcrafted examples.

Est. Value: 125-225
