Vintage Drake Mallard Decoy

This life size wooden decoy seems to resemble the drake Mallards by Charles Perdew and Frederick Jules...of course, I am not saying it is one theirs - just very similar. I have had this decoy for 31 years and it was purchased from an antique dealer in Wilmington, N.C. The paint is original and in very good condition. Glass eyes. Great color and brush strokes and patina. No makers mark. It has a nice weight to it and that handmade one-of-a-kind personality to it. As to its age I'd guess 1920 -1950. Please use zoom to inspect the quality! It would make a fabulous Christmas present..I'll consider a reasonable offer on this item.
