I can tell you that those are "Mallards", a type of duck. They are quite abundant in WI where I am from. (Not just there mind you), My Dad used to go duck hunting alot and he got quite a few. I cannot tell if these are actual decoys, or if they are novelties. Good luck!
They are strictly decorative and worth under $75.00 They are mass produced ,
