What kind of decoy?

[John Ascherman]

So I started duck hunting in 1980 or 1981. For sure in 1982. I bought these decoys in 1983 and I believe it was Gander Mountain? I believe Cabela’s bought them out and they could not go in business for like 10 years??? I am not sure about all this? Well today I painted a couple of the old boys. The plastic keels are about an inch wide and on each breast they had a plastic plug. I believe it was a Carry Lite???????Anyway someone fill me in. I’ve lost too many brain cells over the years. That was 43 years ago.

Keels don’t appear to be Carrylite. Isn’t there any markings at all?
Maybe a good pic of the bottoms.
Paint looks good!

I am guessing - from this recent ad (on Facebook Marketplace?) that this is a Flambeau. Ad says circa 1988.



All the best,
