In search of some old "parts" decoys

[Jim Rehl]

Hi DHBP members,
I am in search of an old wood or cork duck or goose decoy or two in poor condition for two magazine articles I am writing. Something with a horrible repaint, no paint, even with broken bill, missing eyes, or keel (possibly even missing head would work) A decoy with simple carving style and attractive lines would work best for photos (before and after). Identifiable carver is not important. The decoy(s) needs to have simple lines that would look good after restoration.
Price? Cheap!
Thanks for your help,
Jim
