Manufacturer: Folkartist unknown
Decoys from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, home of the famous carvers the Ward Brothers. Unusual set of 3 male mallard duck decoys discovered 15 years ago at a swap meet at the Ward Brothers Museum on the Eastern Shore Original Paint in wonderful condition so I don't think they saw too much water time, guaranteed authentic.

| This is one of those folk art items I could keep forever but our collections have to be thinned out. The mallards are connected with hinges, 2 of the screws are missing. Each mallard is 16 3/4" long and slightly over 4 1/2" in height. The base they sit on is 16 1/4" in length and almost 2" tall so overall 6 3/4" in height and 16 `3/4" in length. When fully open with two ducks beak to beak and the 3rd right angle out from the center, they are approximately 35 1/2" in length. They display just as well with them open just a few inches each so they can be displayed on a smaller base. The colors are yellow/mustard beaks, green heads, brown. grey. black and green bodies. The paint is worn from use but only slightly so, overall the paint is in very VERY good conditon. Maker is unknown, they are not signed, they were made for real "duck hunting" use. I doubt you will find another trio like this! Decoy folk art |
