Fish decoys by old time Minnesota maker Ernie Newman are highly collectible and seldom are available on ebay. This classic 8 1/2" pike is painted in a very unusual rainbow color combination. It is also a foil covered decoy. The textured foil covered decoys are incredibly difficult to find in nice condition given the fragility of the foil. This decoy is in beautiful original condition. The brighter areas you see under the fins are where the varnish has flaked off to reveal the bright fo...il beneath. This decoy could easily be restored if desired. Originally (before the varnish started to show its current patinated color) this decoy would have been red and silver. This item dates from the 1950s. Make sure to check my other auctions. I sell more fish decoys than anyone, anywhere!
