Prince Edward Island 1920 Signed Working Duck Decoy tall basket but it definitely has someMy favorite decoys are the ones that have clearly done some work, all the better when they've got shot holes in their sides as this one does. I really love the crusty old yellow paint on the beak, rusty old nails for the eyes, and loosely brushed on pinkish paint against black on the sides. And roughly, determinedly carved into the underside: Canada, 1920, PEI (Prince Edward Island), and CH Town (for Charlottetown, I believe, the capital of PEI.) 15"
