This is a solid wood, handcarved
and painted decoy by an unknown Asian maker. Approximate date
would be late 1970's to mid 1980's. This is one of about 5
or 6 different profiles that were imported into the USA by
the tens of thousands during that time period. It is common
to see several Asian imports listed on eBay at any given time
(some are described as antique or vintage - so watch out).
Most were sold through Grants, K-Mart, Two Guys, and several
other department stores of that era.
