A pair of decoys I found last summer. I like old sporting equipment but my knowledge is limited. I have been told that these are "without a doubt" rare Perfection #1 Model, Grubbs Decoy Factory Redhead drake and hen. I have a high degree of confidence in the identification but thought I would throw it up on here to see if anyone had any comments. The ballast weights are stamped E G. Anyone have any idea of what they may be worth?
