Offered is an antique shorebird decoy with original paint on a paper stock that was unbelievably glued to a wooden body! The paint is so good I believe (50 years’ experience) that it is original to the bird even though I can find no data to substantiate such a process. So, I’m asking the marketplace to be the judge. It is fresh to the market from a local New Hampshire estate. Original tack eyes with original beak. Stand contemporary. 10.5” long X 6” tall (w/o stand) with a 2.75” width.

-------Please read the following before bidding-------

1, SHIPPING IS A GUESS, SO PLEASE DON’T PAY UNTIL I SEND THE INVOICE!!!!! We only charge shipping and insurance charges as outlined by the perspective carriers, NO additional charges are added. Insurance is required and will be included in the final invoice at actual cost. Because of eBay’s recent changes, it is NOT POSSIBLE to put firm insurance fees until after the auction. The ultimate insurance cost will depend on the hammer price so disregard any automated invoices that arrive at sales end. Please do not Pre-pay, seller will invoice directly to buyer following auction’s end.

2, Any technical questions relative to items being sold, I can be reached at sixzerothreefourninesixthreetwoonefour.

3, We will generally ship (into the shipping system) within 1-2 days of payment receipt via eBay along with a confirmed address. Non-guaranteed funds could take longer. Plus, if we have materially erred in the description, we will be happy to discuss a return (within 48 hours of item receipt), otherwise all sales are final.

 4, If damage occurs during shipping, I will need photos of the box it was shipped in and photos of the items damage so that claims can be started and processed. –thank you.

5, Returns with necessary insurance will be the responsibility of the buyer
