Saw that book this week. Going to have to pick it up.

1967 D-9 Victor Woodstream I had a pair of mallards and a drake pintail All three crack into pieces sitting on the shelf at my camp I have no idea why

sounds like you have a pretty good collection john. not sure if you remember me but i met you at one of the du banquets in gautier a couple years ago. i'm currently living in colorado but i will be back on the coast aroun the 10th thru christmas. hoping to get some hunting in while i'm home.

I have one of the Pascagoula factory decoys, several airduk paper mache's, some victors & other unknowns. Used to buy em all the time until my wife pointed out that I might have an "problem".
Been thinking about getting back into it some actually.
Here they are:

Good stuff EJS. Going to have to look through your birds at the camp a little closer next time.

teul2 Call Joe he lives in Moss Point he will sell you a signed copy,,, he is a nice guy he usually has a copy on sell on ebay.

Red holler when you get into town, would like for you to come by and look.

will do. i am hitting the road tomorrow mornin

Anyone have any info on this guy? This belonged to my grandfather, but has no markings that I have found. Would love to know more about it.








Thanks!

SP - that appears to be one of the Pascagoula decoys...probably a Victor/Animal Trap I have 4 mallards, couple of blue bills, a canvasback, black duck, and a pintail that are all Pascagoula decoys, along with several other miscellaneous types. I think the pintail had been repainted, which diminishes the value. I'll try and take a pic and post up.

I cannt tell by the pic the pascagoula decoys where made with a lathe there should be a min of 13 lathe marks on the tale.

Finally arrived.

nice teul. as far as the other one its hard to tell who made it. if it was from one of the pascagoula factories it appears that it was one of the higher end ones due to the lack of lathe marks. don't think its a victor or animal trap though as most of the victors had VICTOR stamped into the wood on the bottom. and paraduck you have a pm

Sent you a PM back .
