This lot consists of two hand-carved wooden duck decoys, identified as a mallard drake and likely a black duck or hen mallard. Both pieces feature a distinctive deeply combed or wire-brushed surface texture designed to eliminate glare during field use. The mallard drake is finished with a green head, a white neck ring, a yellow bill, and blue speculum patches on the sides. The second decoy is finished in a weathered brown tone with faint remnants of blue and white paint. Each decoy is constructed with a separate head section joined to the body and includes inset eyes. The mallard drake has a white paper auction tag attached with the number 232 handwritten on it. No maker's marks, signatures, or brands were identified during inspection. The style and construction, specifically the combed texture, are characteristic of early 20th-century commercial or regional working decoys.
