I think some of these might actually be classified as "Antiques" I just received my dad old decoy collection he's been working on since the 60's. My wife is going to hang them up in our newborn sons room soon. Thought you guys might get a kick out of these. I have a few paper mâché, have carved, and a basil wood one. I don't know anything about them if anyone does let me know. |

This is the Basel (sp) wood one. These two are possibly the oldest. My pops found them in the marsh in the late 60's on a piece of property that supposedly hadn't been hunted since the 30's or 40's |

Very nice. Realistically prolly not much money. Id keep them preserved as best as possible, they will be worth more to you later down the road then they would be someone else. |

Might be worth some money. I live by the oldest duck club in America and they still use mason decoys on hunts to preserve the tradition. Some of the masons have sold for as much as $300,000. I guess that is why it costs $200,000 a year to be a member. |

Thanks Scott and Keith. I would like to know more information about any of these but no where to start. Maybe some of the other forums. |
