3 Salesman Sample Pintail Decoys c. 1960s

Item Details

Description

Title: 3 Salesman Sample Pintail Decoys c. 1960s

Provenance/Additional Info: 3 Salesman's Sample Duck Decoys made by Sport Plastic, c. 1960s. These miniature ducks (Pintail drake and 2 hens) were used as display pieces so salesmen would not have to carry full sized decoys around to show potential buyers. They are very light, made from molded plastic, and hollow. The male is 7 1/2" from beak to tail and the females are about 6 1/4" long; both are about 2 1/2" to the tops of their heads. All are marked with an impressed oval brand ("Sport Plastic Made in Italy"), which except for one female, are hard to read because they have been covered with felt. All retain their original paint (some wear, especially on the male's neck. Other than the paint wear, condition is very fine with no cracks or breaks, etc. The felt covering the bottoms is complete except on one of the females, which is how you can make out the impressed mark.
