Vintage New Old Stock Duane "Snook" Barrett John Tax Mallard Drake Wood Carved Hunting Duck Decoy W/ Stand. Duck measures 15" longDuane Barrett is a known carver on Decoypedia, started in 1960 he learned his ...trade from another VERY famous local carver John Tax, he studied multiple years under John as well as hunting with him just to learn to hand carved duck and fish decoys. Snook did everything exactly as John described carving and even down to the duller paints he used (Including showing brush strokes sometimes, John was never a professional artist he was a wood carver first). This is a swimming working decoy or shelf piece its your choice. This decoy is an Excellent High Quality piece of history and is for the collectors of Duck Hunting decoys & lures, decorative working decoys, fishing & Hunting related wood carvings. I am lucky enough to offer a large collection of spearing decoys and a very rare collection of these goose & duck decoys also made by snook.
Minnesota’s most important carver, John Tax (1894 - 1967) of Lake Osakis Area, was a harness maker who started with goose decoys in 1917. In later years 1920's into the early 1940's John did wood fish spearing decoys, duck decoys (leather covered and solid wood carved) all for his own use. Some of John's earliest wood carved 1920's goose decoys have auctioned for more than $40000 and In 2005 one of Tax's snow geese sold at auction for more than $100, 000 and holds the distinction of fetching the highest price of any decoy carved by a Minnesotan.
I have acquired a nice LARGE collection of newer and vintage decoys check my store in the fishing & hunting section to see all the others. Please look at all photos as they are part of the AD. Use zoom if needed or ask questions.
