Rare Early 1890 Mason Challenge Broadbill Duck Hunting Decoys Decoy Wood Old
These early (circa 1890) Mason Decoy Company (Detroit, Michigan) pronounced snakey head examples are extremely rare and highly sought after by Mason decoy collectors. Russ Goldberger and Allan Haids excellent reference, Mason Decoys A Complete Pictorial Guide show a similar example (redhead) on page 44. In 20 years of collecting, I’ve only had a few of these. They are extremely stylish and show the artistry of this early and most collectible decoy company. With exception of the white speculums, this examples paint is worn but original. It is of utmost importance to have the most original paint possible on any old decoy and this one has over 90%. The left eye is missing as is the neck filler. Additionally adding the the rarity is the fact that this example is a broadbill (greater scaup) as opposed to the more commonly found bluebill (lesser scaup). This is identifiable only by the more pronounced spatulate bill. Please see my other auctions for collectible old antique vintage duck hunting decoys decoy leg bands and duck calls.
