This vintage wooden duck decoy of a Mergonser Drake from Donald's Duck Shoppe, Ocean City, MD. The duck (circa 1960) is hand-carved and hand-painted adding to its lifelike quality. It's in very good condition and beautiful (see pictures). This duck is perfectly suited as home décor in a den, or man cave or a gift to your favorite hunter or collector. Approximately 12"x7"x6"

Duck decoys were intended to fool other ducks into settling into the water near where the decoy floats. Ducks see the wooden decoy and assume the area is safe. Since the nineteenth century, duck decoys such as this one have been a tool used by hunters and sport to increase the number of birds they catch.

I'm no ornithologist so you might cry fowl for my duck identification—it may seem quackers. Check with your CPA for de-duck-tiability.
