Picked these up from a guy that was getting out of hunting. I believe they all are from the St. Clair Flats area, US and Canada. Any help would be appreciated!

Best Regards,

Todd

These two I know are Walter Streubling:

Thanks for the replies guys. I went and picked up some more today. I really need someone that knows a lot about the St. Clair Flats birds to help me out on some of these. Lou Tisch??? Where are you?

Todd,

They are having a vintage decoy show and sale at the old Chris Craft plant today.
It starts at noon and goes until six. I am sure someone will be there to answer
your questions.

Todd,
Very cool stuff. I'm not an expert on those but if you've got the book from this area, that should put you way ahead of the curve with ID. Also, since we're so close to the Flats Show...bring some to the show...especially the possible Bud Shell birds. Bud will be at the show along with a bunch of fellas who could definitely id a bunch of that stuff for you.
Show Info: Flats Show August 11, 2012. Info & program on the club website: www.scfwa.net
