Does anybody have any info they could pass along about these vintage hand painted decoys? The only info I can find on them is they were probably made by Homer Lawrence from Connecticut in the late 1800's. Apparently, he would make the decoys and his wife would paint them. They have been in my family for years, and surely used to bag some ducks around the Peardonville (Abbotsford) area around the turn of the century. Thanks for any info you can pass along.


I have four, two have weights.
