In North America, Duck Decoy history dates back over two thousand years and even further back in Egypt and other areas of the world. The Smithsonian History Museum displays many of the oldest duck decoys found in the United States, Canada and other parts of North America. They found many of these unique bird replicas along with native pottery pieces in a cave in Arizona.
They made traditional, hand carved, wooden duck decoys primarily from the mid eighteen hundreds to approximately the mid nineteen hundreds. Vintage hunting decoys are desired folk art to many collectors, beautiful works of art to numerous duck collectors, and to some people they are simply wonderful country accents. Vintage duck hunting decoys along with other old items are highly collectable and sought after.
