VINTAGE TOM SCHROEDER BLACK DUCK DECOY ORIGINAL PAINT WITH TIN BOX BOTTOM
Price: US $294.00

Up for sale is a very nice Black duck made by Famed Michigan maker Tom Schroeder of Fair Haven, ca. 1940s.  The decoy is in excellent condition with mostly original paint and some relatively minor hunter’s touch up around the neck seam and what appears to be strengthening to the speculums.  There are a several small spots on the head and neck where paint flaking reveals the green primer underneath.  There are also a few places on the body where the paint has worn thin with the primer showing through. The decoy also shows typical wear from use with some minor rubs to the bill, head and tail.  It has nice feather stamping and retains its original glass eyes. This model features Schroeder\'s unique “Hydro-Dynamic” galvanized tin box on the bottom to help stabilize the decoy in the water.   Overall, this decoy is a wonderful example of this highly regarded Michigan maker\'s best work. Measures 16-1/2” long; 7-1/2” wide and 6” tall not including the tin box.  Please ask questions or for more pictures. Shipping includes insurance and is higher outside of the USA.  Thanks for looking.
