Rudy Zwieg was born in 1917 in Douglas County, MN and lived there his entire life. He has been carving since the 30’s, carving plugs for his own use during the depression. A lot of his early decoys were the basic red and white fish, During the 50’s he sold them at local stores for $8/dozen. Later in life he started carving various fancy fish and critters for sale. One of these decoys, a frog-shaped carved wooden decoy, is proudly displayed at the Nati...onal Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution. Rudy’s decoys are easily identified by his signature star pattern around the eye, which looks like the points of a compass. I purchased this decoy from Rudy myself in the basement of his home in Alexandria, MN several years ago.
Rudy made a lot of different decoys. Besides many varieties of fish, he also made some critters, including some duck decoys. We are also including a copy of his flier so you will have information on this great Minnesota carver.
