AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique wooden canvasback decoys, probably J.W. Reynolds, Chicago (c. 1920s–1930s) – US Folk Art Tri-Fold Decoy
An uncommon, original set of three foldable silhouette decoys (Tri-Fold Silhouette Decoys), presumably from the USA, manufactured circa the 1920s to 1930s.
This specific folding system (often referred to as a V-Board) is attributed to the well-known manufacturer J.W. Reynolds of Chicago, Illinois.
Bird species: Canvasbacks
Material: Wood (silhouette plywood mounted on foldable support slats)
Function: The three duck silhouettes are connected by hinges.
They can be folded completely flat for transport and set up in a V-shape on water or on a field for hunting.
Condition: Authentic, uncleaned found-condition with pronounced patina from age. The original factory paint shows age-related flaking, cracks, and weathering, which gives the set a magnificent, rustic charm.
The mechanical folding function is present.
A beautiful and rare piece of American hunting history and a true eye-catcher for collectors of historical folk art or maritime décor.
Dimensions when folded:
Length 62 cm
Height 21 cm
Width 9 cm
Carefully prepared and packaged for shipment.
