Vintage Wooden Duck Decoy With Blue Bill, First Completed Example - Signed

A distinctive vintage hand-carved wooden duck decoy featuring a striking black and white body with a blue bill and glass inset eyes. The smooth, simplified form is accented by subtle carved wing detail, giving the piece a clean, modern folk-art presence while retaining traditional decoy character.
The underside reveals raw wood with visible tool marks and mounting holes, along with faint pencil inscription indicating “1st completed,” suggesting this example may represent an early or inaugural work by the maker. Additional handwritten markings appear to include a signature, enhancing its appeal as a signed, possibly one-of-a-kind piece.
Measures 14".
Condition: Good vintage condition with expected paint wear, minor chips, and surface scuffs. Notable age crack to the body and light paint loss to the bill. Structurally stable overall.
