USA, Circa 1900s, Handmade with Glass Eyes, Unmarked

This pair of antique hunting decoys, handcrafted in the USA circa the 1900s, offers a glimpse into traditional American waterfowl hunting heritage. Each decoy is hand-carved and painted, showcasing the craftsmanship and utilitarian artistry of early 20th-century decoy makers. Both pieces are unmarked, adding an element of mystery and authenticity to their rustic charm.

The first decoy, affectionately referred to as "One-Eyed Jack," features a weathered brown finish and retains one original glass eye, while the other is missing, adding character and a story of its own. It includes a metal weight affixed to the base for practical use on the water. Dimensions: 14" W x 5" D x 6" H.

The second piece is a black and silver canvasback decoy, notable for its vivid red glass eyes and striking contrasting paintwork. This decoy measures 10" W x 6" D x 6" H, with a green-painted base showing expected wear, consistent with age and use.

These decoys are perfect for collectors of folk art, hunting memorabilia, or those seeking rustic decorative pieces that evoke the rich tradition of American sporting history.
