re: Duck decoys

My collection, also about three dozen, includes one from the Venice area that my brother found in the marsh when he worked for Gulf Oil Company in 1964. I brought it to a decoy show in Baton Rouge but was unable to get the carver identified by the experts. Many of the decoys from Plaquemines Parish are quite old and rather valuable as opposed to the Lafourche/Terrebonne Parishes. The "western decoys" as the experts called the ones from Southwest LA and East Texas are not so much available for some reason.
