Old Decoys

 
The Native Americans made the decoys by hand with wood that they carved into, or they would use straw to make the duck shape. Many of the decoys that have been found are more elaborate than others, with more colors or details. The more elaborate the decoy’s are, the higher the value will be for collectors and even hunters. Before making a purchase, examine the decoy properly. The earlier duck decoys from the 1880s through the 1940s had a larger amount of detail. The eyes were also made of glass and the bodies were weighted for the perfect amount of buoyancy.

To find duck decoys, the best place to seek is in online auction shops on the Internet. Make sure that you double check the seller’s credentials before you commit to the purchase. This is due to the fact that if you are paying for an antique decoy, it could actually be a reproduction. Thrift shops and flea markets are also valuable places for duck decoys. These locations are usually the best spots for the nicest duck decoys. Many of the items that you find are from estate sells that the recent owner had no control over. This is a wonderful spot to find valuable decoys.
