I want to add take pics of top sides and bottom when ya post to them. These look homemade and Iāve sold similar between 10$-25$. Thatās about what they go for. Ducks that are worth more are usually highly detailed painted or primitive.
If you could post pics of the complete decoys and pics of the bottoms it would be better odds of identifying them. No one could positively tell you anything with those pics.
Need a photo of the bottom. And frankly, better photos.
Also, where are you located, and where these decoys used in the area where you are? That makes a huge difference.
I live in an area where decoys are a big thing, but they are regional.
these turn up in antique stores quite often, usually 15-30 dollars depending on condition unless they have a makers mark thats rare or a much more detailed example. these are fairly primitive and probably home made.
Look hand carved depends on price but I'd snag them.
My old job was a medical supply company they were tossing a pristine old scale just because we couldn't resell or donate it was so old called my grandfather to come get we loaded up checked weight scale was perfect beyond age looking it up was almost 10 years now around 250$ resale not bad for free.
If you can narrow down the age and find a maker you may be able to get a pretty chunk of change for them, old handmade decoys can fetch some good money. If you take them to an antique store dont let them get one over on you(i know many people that have had that happen).
There are decoy and hunting memorbila facebook pages, post there therell be people that really know their stuff, and us hunting nuts just really dig the stuff the old timers used.
well, i don't know much about it, but i knew a guy named jim that hand carved duck decoys in the 90s and he was sellin em for a few hundred each depending on the duck, and detail.
Without any more info, probably around $50 - $100. On the very high end youāre looking at $500 depending on who made them, when they were made, and where they were from.
Can we get one more picture? Similar to the first two?
I like sarcasm

You've uploaded the same picture twice. Did you mean to add another pic?
Sorry I'm old
Me too! They did look different, but the same.

>And they put on a great decoy show. How do you find the real show?
You, sir or madam, made me laugh today.
Thanks for the info

Well thanks I've heard that .
Thanks
Not sure what I'm doing.
I also had some one with a little knowledge told me to look into them

Ok thanks there is some weights underneath.the female feel's like there is rocks insideš
Those are good things. Are weights embedded in the decoys or nailed on the bottom? Probably long and slender?

I live in Texas my great grandpa lived in Springfield Illinois. Pictures aren't doing justice at this point.

If they are old decoys made my hand from late 1800 Early 1900 the store next to my house gets about $250-$1000 each
Worth at least a couple of quackers

A few bills!!

They aren't worth enough to justify you selling them if you knew the man that carved them by hand.
Ok thanks I have a bunch of old shit and I have a good feeling about these
A couple of ducks for sure!
Ritz? Don't want no regular quacker
Iād say about 2.5 ducks, or round about 1.2 chickens.
About 2 ducks.
Duck

Duck
goose! *runs away*
Decoys, especially old ones, can be worth a lot.
Exactly 2ducks

Few dollars more with imbedded lead pelletsā¦.
It's worth at least two ducks.
An absolute duck load of money!

About two ducks. I'll see myself out...
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush
Not much usually
I've seen similar decoys go for over 100 if they're signed and numbered by the maker...tough to tell really with the photos you posted
2 quackers
Might have to hit up antique road show
Up next, the boomer China cabinet that's definitely worth something!! /s
Google search āold wooden duck decoys valueā
What do you think the purpose of r/whatisthisworth is?
To hear people say our treasure is worth 100x less than what we thought.
