Canvasback Hen Decoy by R. Madison Mitchell (1901-1993), Havre de Grace, MD. It is signed and dated on the bottom, 1945. It has painted eyes and some paint enhancement. It is solid wood and structurally sound. Mitchell was a funeral director who carved decoys during free time over a 60 year career. He helped found the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum and is well represented there. 16” L X 6 ¼” W X 7” H.

A really beautiful canvasback decoy by Steven R. Lay, Havre de Grace, MD.  Signed on the bottom, this duck is in very good condition with just a couple of minor imperfections.  Steven Lay started carving at age 15 and worked for Madison Mitchell.  15 1/2" X 6"

Nice decoy by Ken Harris (1906-1981), Woodville, NY.   A prolific carver, the former insurance adjuster was a hunter turned carver and eventually employed two assistants.  His decoys are becoming very desireable.  17" X 7 1/2"

Signed decoy by Madison Mitchell (1901-1993), Havre de Grace, MD.  While this duck has some minor paint loss, this appears to be a fairly early example of Mitchell's work.  16 1/2" X 6 1/2"

A very similar decoy to the one above it, this could be another Madison Mitchell duck.  It is unsigned.  There is a crack at the base of the neck but it is otherwise very good.  16 1/2" X 6 1/4"

A nice pair of working blue bill decoys. Early to mid-20th century. Original paint with lead weights and leather attachment loops. They are possibly from Barnegat Bay, NJ. 14” L X 5 ¼” W X 6 ½” H. 

A very nice decoy by Capt. Harry Jobes (1936-2019), Havre de Grace, MD.  Signed under, there is a piece of the signature chipped away with a paint loss but otherwise, the paint is strong.  According to his website, Capt. Jobes was quite a character!  16 1/2" X 7"

Interesting squat canvasback decoy with glass eyes.  It is stamped four times by Colburn C. Woodard Jr.  I have found numerous decoys referenced to Woodard but no firm information.  Great condition.  13 1/2" X 6"
