SALE - At age 81, it is time to sell all of my sporting collectibles. You will find all of them appealing and in superb condition.
I have about three hundred duck and goose decoys that range from factory hunting decoys, to antique decoys, to hand carved quality hunting decoys, to highly sophisticated and elaborate competition decoys (many with ribbons).
These decoys will range in value from a minor amount to many hundreds of dollars each, and some even value more than a tho...usand dollars each. If you like decoys, then I suggest that you bookmark my Zebratown Store and watch for further listings of my decoy collection items. I do not have a list. I will just be taking them out of the display cases one at a time to photograph and sell.
Let me say, at the onset, I consider Jeff Graves Decoys, among the finest decoys, in my collection. I have more expensive decoys, and I have more elaborate decoys, but Jeff's decoys, hold their own, against any other decoys. They have a softness, almost real look to them. They are among my favorites. You can not go wrong on his decoys. I only have a few, but they are all outstanding, and will look elegant in any home. I would describe them as quietly elegant, almost perfect.
This outstanding HEN MERGANSER hollow-carved decoy, was carved for decoy competition, by talented, ribbon winning, New York carver Jeff Graves.
(Please look for the other Jeff Graves listings, that I will be posting, including the "Best of Show" pair of American Scoters, that I will be listing next."
This decoy is one of my very favorite decoys, in my entire collection.
It won two ribbons in competition, as shown on the bottom of the decoy, in the last photo.
This is an outstanding decoy in mint condition. It is a hollow-carved decoy, and light as a feather.
It has captured the very elegant soft look of a hen.
The entire surface of the goose is perfect, unscarred to this date. If you know how hard it is to keep decoys unmarked, then you will really marvel at this decoy.
It will look great, anywhere you place it.
You will not find a nicer decoy in this price range.
It is in original paint. It is signed on the bottom, by the carver, who has also written on the bottom, the ribbons won, and decoy shows, where they were won.
Soneone is going to be very happy with this outstanding decoy.
DECOY SIZE: 12" LONG 5" WIDE 6" TALL
I apologize for the $35 shipping charge, but by the time I box it, insure it for full value, and ship by Priority Mail, it will most likely cost me more than that, especially if there is any shipping distance involved.
SHIPPING INCLUDES INSURANCEPLEASE NOTE THAT THE SHIPPING QUOTED IS TO THE LOWER 48 STATES ONLY. SHIPPING TO ALASKA AND OR HAWAII WILL BE MORE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL BE IN SUPERB CONDITION AS I AM VERY FASTIDIOUS AND MAINTAIN ALL ITEMS IN SUPERB COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL CONDITION.
MANY MORE GREAT ITEMS WILL BE GOING INTO THE ZEBRATOWN STORE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL years. WE WILL BE LISTING MANY COLLECTIBLES AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS.
PLEASE CHECK OUR NEAR 100% FEEDBACK AND BUY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT WE HAVE DESCRIBED ALL ITEMS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY.
