Description Purchased this decoy many years ago...was told it was from the turn of the century and made of cedar wood...it has the patina and aged look that makes me believe it should be from at least the 1920's...I do not see any signatures or markings anywhere..there have been no repairs made to it and looks very original yet...any ideas what it is worth? If I list it on ebay what should be a good reserve price?
