VINTAGE ILLINOIS RIVER MALLARD DUCK DECOY. Great old Illinois River mallard Drake decoy by a carver that is unknown to me.

Based on the carving style I believe it was carved and used in the Chillicothe area on the Illinois River. It might be a Cameron. It has glass eyes and a thin neck with fat cheeks and a big head. I estimate it was carved in the 1920s or 30s. It is in good condition with appealing old mix of original paint and working repaint.

There is gunning wear overall with some flaking to bare wood and the body seams show a separation on both sides. It is hollow carved 2-piece construction and the original keel weight has been removed but a replace weight is attached. It is 16 long and 5 1/2 wide.

A hot brand on the bottom says JHS. This great old Illinois River decoy would make a wonderful addition to any collection. I apologize to all interested in this decoy for not listing a bill repair on this decoy. The repair is so well done I did not realize it existed until I examined last night.
