ARIDUCK Fiber Decoys were made in many places including Sharon. PA in the 1980's & 1990's. I would stop in during my long bike rides and check things out and talk with the few folks that worked there. The amount of material that went into making those decoys was impressive. The shop was a very good supporter of our local DU chapters.
Fiber Decoys filled a niche for folks that did not have lotta $$$ to spend on decoys, and these decoys got hunters on their way. I have hunted over them and have a few in my collection. A friend of mine at one time had the largest Fiber Decoy Collection in the USA. They did not last long without good care but my how they could absorb Shot and still keep afloat.
my 2 cents

That one is stamp st. Louis MO as the production facility.
First one I have ever seen. Really liked it. Told my uncle if they were still In production, I would hunt over them.
The other three had no markings. But they did have the "wavy" lines in the wood from being turned down on a lave. He said that's how you can't tell they are Victor's decoys.
I admit I'm not much into old decoys but they were cool to see.
