Antique Wooden Hand-carved Duck Decoy-american Merganser Hen
ANTIQUE HAND-CARVED WOOD DUCK DECOY. BOTH THE FIRST NAME AND CITY ARE MISSPELLED.
OBVIOUSLY NOT SIGNED BY MR. NO PROVENANCE OR VERIFICATION INCLUDED. IT HAS BEEN APPRAISED BY PEOPLE AT DECOY SHOWS IN MARYLAND AND NEW JERSEY.A FEW ONLINE APPRAISALS WERE OBTAINED TOO, FROM REPUTABLE DEALERS, UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST. BASICALLY, EVERYONE NEEDS TO VIEW THIS DECOY IN PERSON TO ABSOLUTELY CONFIRM AND VERIFY IT IS A LLOYD TYLER DECOY. WHAT IS CONFIRMED IS THE SIZE: 17 FROM BILL TO TAIL. IT WEIGHS 2 POUNDS 13 OUNCES.
IT HAS NO EYES AND THE HEAD SWIVELS. ALL AGREE IT IS IN ROUGH SHAPE (NOTICEABLE CRACKS AND CHUNKS OF WOOD MISSING). ALL ALSO AGREE IT IS A RED-BREASTED AMERICAN MERGANSER HEN. SOME SAY POSSIBLY FROM THE 1920'S-1930'S. I HAVE NO OTHER INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FAMILY THAT OWNED IT LIVED IN NEW JERSEY ALL THEIR LIVES.
THE PERSON WHO ENDED UP WITH THE DECOY HAS NO MORE INFORMATION EITHER. SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION WILL BE REQUIRED.
