I AM RELISTING THIS AS THE PREVIOUS WINNING buyer HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY.

This 109+ year old decoy was made by the Mason Decoy Factory in Detroit, Michigan and is a Glass Eye, Standard Grade DRAKE GREEN-WINGED TEAL Duck Decoy.  The Glass eye model was their Best grade of the standard grade model of wood decoy, one above the tack eye and 2 above the painted eye version.  It was carved solid and hand-made and hand-painted not long after the turn of the century.  Of the several wood decoy factories in Detroit, Mason would outlive them all and have a 30 year existence.  This decoy is structurally in outstanding original condition and as you can see this decoy retains all of its awesome brush marks and paint swirls from the day an artist painted it some 100 years ago; even the \"Awesome Scalloping on The Back Rear\".  This beautiful scalloped edge paint is awesome and not all glass-eye Teal decoys were afforded this beautiful detailing.  This decoy also has fantastic detailing to the dark teal \"spots\" on the chest and sides and the brown dabbled over gray on the back is also awesome.  Lastly, the green side patches on the head are outstanding and the thin white border lines on these patches is faint, but there!  Any way you look at it, this decoy is one of the nicer standard grade green-winged teal you\'ll come across once in many a moon.   

ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL PAINT ON THIS TEAL IS PERFECTLY INTACT AND DEEPLY HUED!!!!  EVEN THE ORIGINAL BROWN GLASS EYES ARE PERFECTLY INTACT AND IN IN PERFECT CONDITION!!

This decoy displays wonderfully and based on the fact that it was never rigged, I am sure that this decoy was prominently featured somewhere in a home or office for many years and then into a collection;  it has always been in prominent collections since then and it has most likely been in temperature-controlled environments since it was bought from Mason over a century ago.  The Beautiful, Antique & Original Deep Brown Glass Eyes are perfectly intact and most of the original neck putty is perfectly intact and in excellent condition.  Many Mason Decoys had some type of loss to the original neck putty, which is quite normal as a great many of the vintage Mason decoys that you see have had some type of restoration or replacement done to their neck putty; But this beautiful teal retains most of it as you can see in the many close-up photos!!  This decoy is as solid as the day it was made with no looseness in the neck whatsoever and the decoy is in excellent structural condition other than a tight surface check on the bottom that may have been there since not long after this decoy was made, but I personally think that if anything it adds to the look of this antique decoy.  Additionally, this decoy is in outstanding original condition condition with beautiful and fully intact original paint as you can see in the pictures, and overall it is very dry and nice old and original paint with a beautiful and naturally burnished sheen to it from being handled over the years.  The outstanding patina on this decoy really is incredible and although it is very hard to capture it in photos, I think a few of the close-up pictures capture the wonderful \"character\" that the surface that this antique and important old gunning decoy has.  The original paint was done extremely well and as you can see by the many photos, many of the famous Mason Paint Brush Marks and Wonderful Detail Feathering is visible, especially in the speculums, head patches, face paint and breast spots or dots, as well as the awesomely scalloped paint detail.  This excellent and significant decoy measures 12-7/8\" long x 4-1/8\" wide x 5-1/2\" tall and weighs 1-lb. 1.5-ozs.  An outstanding decoy that will complement any collection of vintage duck and shorebird decoys from a company that represents as big a part of American Decoy History as any other maker or carver.  Thanks for looking and if you have any additional questions or would like another photo feel free to email me.
