Early Painted Duck Decoy Signed WHITE with Blue Bill & Twine

This vintage duck decoy features a carved body painted in deep burgundy, with a bold blue and black bill and cream cheek patches. The maker’s name, “WHITE,” is carved into the back, suggesting a traceable hand, likely from a known regional carver. It retains an old twine wrap around the neck, a functional addition consistent with working decoys of the early to mid-1900s. This decoy displays age-appropriate paint wear and wood patina, indicating long-term use or display. The piece represents a utilitarian approach to traditional American waterfowl hunting tools, most likely from the early 20th century, potentially originating in the Mid-Atlantic or Great Lakes region.
