Post by: L-ofalab on October 15, 2013, 05:42:52 PM

Can anyone tell me about these decoys? They must have been from  some factory set up.

Victors, Portland Decoy company and others made the similar.  They used to turn them on a lathe.  I would have to look at home to see the manuf.

Thanks, are they worth anything? They belong to a friend and I told him I would try to find out. I know that carved decoys would be much better but these must be fairly old. I agree about the body being lathe turned.

They look like they are in good condition and the paint is nice as well.  Hopefully your buddy can score something for them.
