This gem has been my pride and joy for a long time, but it's time for it to find a new home. It is made of steel/tin and weighs 1 1/2 pounds. There were a few other silhouette decoys made by other manufacturers, but what sets Burkhard's apart from the others is the sickle-like steel stake which also serves to hold it open. The hinge is in good condition and there are no repairs nor damage to this beauty.
I believe the paint is original.
