Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Duck Decoy With Weighted Keel- Signed

Classic vintage duck decoy, hand-carved from solid wood and finished in a traditional black and white paint scheme with a green head. The surface shows desirable age and wear, with crackled paint and areas of natural patina that speak to long use and exposure.
Fitted with tack-style eyes and a weighted metal keel on the underside, along with remnants of a line tie, indicating authentic working decoy construction. The form is streamlined with a slightly raised head and elongated body, giving it a strong, purposeful silhouette.
The underside also features small puncture marks "LH" and wear consistent with field use, adding to its character and authenticity. A fine example of American folk art with practical origins.
Measures 14.25".
Condition: Heavy paint wear, surface losses, and age-related cracking throughout. Underside shows wear, old holes, and attached weight.
