Charming 1986 Hand-Carved Wooden Duck Decoy by Buck’s Ducks – No. 7

A wonderful vintage wooden duck decoy, hand-carved and beautifully finished in warm reddish-brown wood. The underside is inscribed “Buck’s Ducks No. 7 – Made for Helen by Buck – 1986 – From Dorothy,” making this a particularly interesting personalized piece with a documented date and provenance.

One of the most appealing features of this duck is its expressive eye and carefully sculpted head. The positioning of the eye creates a wonderful visual effect—the duck seems to watch you as you move around the room. It has an almost magical, lifelike quality that makes it especially fun to display.

The sleek, stylized form and rich wood grain give it strong Mid-Century / vintage folk-art appeal, while the hand-carved character makes it much more distinctive than a mass-produced decorative duck.
