I get quite few requests for Antique Style Decoys.

First off is the style of Noah Sterling, a Crisfield MD contemporary of the Ward Brothers. Originally introduced to me by Mr Richard Smoker in Decoy Magazine.

I am reminded of the Redheads that Max Neumann gave me from his rig used at Fish Point on Saginaw Bay.

Stay tuned since I am modifying this pattern to use as a basis for several divers. If you are interested in this style keep an eye on this page and I will post the results.

These are all hollowed cedar with cedar heads and are self-righting. They really float on the water well.

Should be pretty obvious the first one has gone hunting with me. Did some real good too!

Next is a Goldeneye based on the 1936 Ward brothers style.

Goldeneyes just happened to be the bird I wanted to add to my rig last fall. These Ward style birds just came home from the Westlake Ohio ODCCA show and competed in the pool contest as part of a rig of GE's.

These drakes are also hollow cedar and self-righting.
