Deluxe 9.5" Perch fish decoy carved by John Laska, Winona, MN. John is known for his swimming decoys... this one will be an excellent swimmer or for the collector on the shelf. This decoy has taxidermy eyes, carved fins, lots of detail, burned scales one by one, deluxe paint job and beautifully carved. This is one from John's Elite Series carved from wood which are really hard to come by. It is signed on the bottom and dated 2012. It is also numbered 1 out of 10. I had a set of 1...0 made and this is #1 of the set. Its the second one in the line up of 10 in the pictures. Its the one John made first... then I said go ahead with the rest. The paint job is way better and the fins are carved on the underside of this one only. Its been sitting on my shelf for 7 years, never used. Look at my feed back and bid with confidence. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Thanks for looking!
