"Over many generations, the people of the South Jersey region have developed a distinctive style of carving wooden duck decoys. The hollow, two-piece body construction of these decoys makes them particularly attractive, not only for aesthitic, but for practical resaons. A hunter will find that these decoys will float better than solid ones, riding the water more naturally and less likely to become watrerlogged. The light weight of the hollow body makes it easier for a collector to display a large number of these decoys on a shelf or wall mounting." Check out the scans. . Assumed First Edition. Soft Cover.
