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

Thats pretty neat!

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.

James, that's awesome that he shared that with you, Just wait til your son talks about it.

I have seen these with my own eyes. , it's a pretty cool collection. . I felt privileged I was allowed to hold them and check them out. . Pretty cool your dad gave them to you , will make for a good themed room. , congrats again bud. .

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.

What is the club name?

Very cool 3CK. Thanks for sharing.

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.

Very cool James!
