Selling this PAIR (drake + hen) of wood carved decoys:
Long-Tailed Duck (OLD SQUAW)
Clangula hyemalis
They were bought from an hunter in Magdalen Islands (Iles de la Madeleine, Quebec) in the late 1980s.Unknown carver. I would say dating from the 1970s.
Nice primitive working decoys, in good original condition.
Old working paint,... probably repainted at least once over the years.
Lots of patina & distress.
The drake (white back) has a crack on the base of the neck.
The weights are easy to remove (cut rope).
It measures about 12½" long, 5" wide, 5" tall.
The hen measures about 12" long, 5¼" wide, 5¾" tall.Those are unique from that area, locals don't make them in wood anymore, using mostly plastic factory made ones.
