LL Bean use to sell cork decoys that had a good look and classic feel to them. A little aging of them would make them a good decoration in any gun room. IF they still sell them a pair should be under $100.00 and a little work could make them into a very atractive looking decorative decoy.
I was lucky and came across a full spread of Ward Brother decoys, at the dump, that someone threw out when cleaning out a old garage. I picked them up for the weights and brought them home. My first wife was bitching at me for bringing home more junk than I took away as I washed them off with a garden hose. After a few minutes of listening to her b.... I asked her if she knew what they were worth, by then I knew what they were and how much they were worth. At the time, 30 years ago, they would have been worth about $20,000 more than our house. She shut up and went back into the house. God I miss that lady, like a toothache.
If you can find out who your local regional decoy makers were, you could get an idea of what to look for. More fun to have local stuff. As noted, old decoys can sell for less than $100.00 to over $10,000 per decoy.
