This lot features seven vintage mallard duck decoys. At least one is a J.C. Higgins 'Life-Like Decoy' Crafted from durable molded cork, these decoys exhibit a utilitarian design, characteristic of hunting equipment from the mid-20th century. The group includes both drake and hen mallards, with traditional hand-painted details. One decoy has no markings underneath, another is marked 'J.C. Higgins LIFE-LIKE DECOY SEARS ROEBUCK AND CO.' on the underside, indicating their origin from the well-known American retailer. Another appears to be made of compressed foam and is marked "ARIDUK GENERAL FIBER CO, US PAT OFF, ST LOUIS 3 MO." These decoys show significant signs of use and age, including paint loss, dirt adhesion, and some minor cracking, consistent with their intended purpose and outdoor use. Thrown into this lot is an additional, smaller ceramic. All are suitable for display as vintage sporting collectibles or for continued use in hunting. The presence of the Sears, Roebuck and Co. marking suggests a period of manufacture likely between the 1950s and 1970s.
