Very Rare Oscar Peterson Bluebill Duck Decoy Famous Fish Decoy Carver Michigan
Oscar Peterson Drake Bluebill Decoy. Exceedingly rare duck decoy made by Oscar W. Peterson who is best known for his legendary fish decoy carvings. Duck decoy by Peterson are very rare and this one is very nice and appears all original.

Great form with a long slender bodies and a head that appears rocked back. The form and style of all Peterson decoys is the same, with the species being delineated by the paint scheme. This is a very nice decoy and very hard to find. Appears all original and as carved. Neck filler may have been replaced.

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. In additon to fish decoys, Peterson also carved some duck decoys and other folk art items making more than 15,000 items over his career. Peterson lived in Michigan and moved to the Cadillac region when he was 8 years old.

He was an avid outdoorsman and ended up starting a landscaping company with his brother. Around 1900 he is thought to have began carving decoys and other items to supplement his income. He also served as a hunting guide during his life before he dies in 1951. 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.
