{"product_id":"lesser-scaup-working-duck-decoy-original-paint","title":"Lesser Scaup Working Duck Decoy Original Paint","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThis large, heavy old lesser scaup duck was a working decoy and it shows. The drake was carved in the 1920's out of a solid chunk of wood that had some gouges out of it before it was carved. The marks of the chisel are obvious; the anonymous carver did not bother to smooth them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe duck has a gray bill (that photographed more like tan in some of the photos); tack eyes painted yellow, a round, peaked head, a white wing patch on both sides and white paint under the tail. There is overall cracking to the paint on the underside from water immersion and an old nailed-on lead strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe decoy measures 15 inches long--- making him full-size---4 3\/4 inches across the breast and 7 1\/2 inches tall to the top of its head. Its weight is 2 1\/4 pounds and for a working decoy, it's in very good shape. It's not only a desirable decoy but a fine piece of folk art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e© \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/PrimpingYourHome.com\"\u003ePrimpingYourHome.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePYH 5755\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primping Your Home Antiques \u0026 Vintage Home Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47834020184251,"sku":"5755","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9101\/7147\/files\/ChatGPT_Image_May_22_2026_10_09_53_AM.png?v=1779992533","url":"https:\/\/www.primpingyourhome.com\/products\/lesser-scaup-working-duck-decoy-original-paint","provider":"Primping Your Home Antiques \u0026 Vintage Home Decor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
