This one is not very old, but I find it pretty charming; I'm actually not sure what it is meant to be but it sure looks happy whatever the case! It was signed BJ and dated 1994 on the underside; a bit of searching led me  B.J. Pawlaczyk of Michigan, maker of both duck decoys and fishing decoys, who I'm certain was its maker. It is lead weighted but looks never to have been dropped in the water, though I do believe it had a couple of tiny ears, now lost. With a little loop on its back, it could be strung and hung--perhaps flying on the xmas tree!

6 1/16" x 4" x 1" and in very good condition, just with tiny holes where ears would have been I believe.
