Decoy Identification help

Hi All,
Just picked up some canvasback decoys and am hoping someone here can help identify the maker/manufacturer. I believe they are balsa wood. I was told by the seller that they came from the Great Lakes region and were from the sixties. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1st impression. Michigan. Very similar to the work of Jim Kelson.... Very sturdy Balsa (hard coating) decoys with good craving, and keels. Mighty fine Big Water tollers made to work hard.

my 2 cents
