Item Details

Description

Title: Rare Cast Iron Sinkbox Duck Decoy

Provenance: A sinkbox is a specialized hunting blind, resembling a raft, used by waterfowl hunters. It consists of a weighted, partially submerged enclosure large enough to hold one or more hunters and suspended from a floating platform. It is placed in calm water so the hunter may wait with the waterline at approximately shoulder height. Sinkbox decoys were set all around the sinkbox to weight it down in the water (see photo #3). Wood carved decoys were floated around the sinkbox to further disguise the hunters. This method of hunting was outlawed in 1918 by the Migratory Bird Act. Our cast iron decoy is painted black and has a flaky surface beneath the paint. In very good condition. It weighs 23 pounds and measures 13" long by 5" wide by 6" tall. Flat bottomed. This rare sink box decoy is a must for any serious decoy collector. Inv. 3408
