Huge 20 Tom Taber 1990-91 Ducks Unlimited Special Edition Wigeon Duck Decoy
Collectible Tom Taber Widgeon Duck Decoy. Measuring 20" long, 6.5" wide, and 8 tall, this over-sized widgeon by Tom Taber for Ducks Unlimited is a great find. Check out the raised primaries, detailed feather carving, and well-carved head. This is certainly a great example for the collector! Taber decoys are very collectible and these worm-wood decoys are at the top of that list. I have done my best to document this decoy through both the text above and the photographs. I will do my best to accommodate any and all requests. The decoy you are seeing is the exact one you will be getting, therefore, there should be no surprises if you have taken the time to scroll through all the photos and read the text. Unless the decoy is listed in 100% original paint, expect some old hunter touch-up. Almost every single decoy I have for sale was in fact a working decoy part of a larger rig and subject to typical gunning wear including rubs that were typically touched-up between hunting seasons as a way to pass the time during the off-season.
Some of these decoys are more than 100 years old and over the course of many hunting seasons it is bound to happen. Tom Taber is well-known, exceptional decoy carver who made special edition decoys for Ducks Unlimited banquets.
One unique feature is that he made many from what is called "worm" wood, that has little holes in it which adds some depth and character to his decoys. Please contact me if something seems out of line and I will see what I can do.
I say most because as you see some decoys will have a modest/fair-market reserve. Call it down-sizing if you will. If a decoy doesn't meet reserve, let's talk. NOTE: As with most sporting collectibles, along with being a great addition to a game room or home decor, vintage decoys have shown to be a sound investment that seldom decrease in value. Each decoy is truly a One-Of-A-Kind item as no two hand-carved decoys are exactly alike and with so few available decoys from each carver, as time passes, they will surely only increase in value.
Be sure to add my to your favorite sellers/searches. I have many more decoys to add from all regions including the Chesapeake Bay, Ontario, Quebec, Michigan, New York, Illinois, the St. The item "Huge 20 Tom Taber 1990-91 Ducks Unlimited Special Edition Wigeon Duck Decoy" is in sale since Sunday, May 27, 2018.
