The collector’s dream

This wonderful Dennis decoy is the one that drew the decoy collector to the estate sale, whereupon he purchased all the decoys in one fell swoop. He did not purchase the Russian fur hats in their wonderful hat boxes though. A New York lady who was visiting her Texas sister snapped up the hats. 😊

This is a really nice one - you do not see decoys with open beaks very often!
You have set up this photo nicely. The busy background does not detract from the decoy at all!

@farmreporter I loved the feathers individually carved on this one. You can see them best on its chest.

[Henri Russell]

His feathers look so real. Nicely captured.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Wonderful that they all went together to one collector - quacking news !!!!

Lovely image beautifully captures the fine detail and work that's gone into its creation by your talented friend, you have really done it justice Lou Ann:)

[Dianne]

Certainly a work of art and nice to think the collection is staying together.

[Pat Knowles]

It sounds a truly fascinating sake Lou Ann, how exciting to be there see these treasures close up before they were sold!

[Carole Sandford]

Such amazing detail!

WOW that's amazing!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The detail work on the decoys is truly beautiful. No wonder they were purchased so quickly. And that's really unique with the one made out of cork.

[Valerie Chesney]

All of the decoys are so beautifully crafted

[Milanie]

The feathers on that duck are amazing - quite a piece of art there.

[CC Folk]

Amazing work and detail. What a craftsman. Hope they will all be appreciated.
