Small Flock of Dunster Dupe-a-Goose Decoys

Price: 195

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

There are 4 Dunster “Dupe-a-Goose” Folding Decoys in this flock, dating to the early-mid 1950s. (Rather “sadistic” name, if you ask me!) Made out of treated cardboard with metal braces on the inside, each goose is about 23” x 10” when the head is tucked inside the body; 26 ½” x 18 ½” with the head extended (straight-out). The surfaces are original (some fading and scuffing from use) and some expected edge bumping. When I got them, they came in a period Purina Burlap bag, which will be included (nice piece of advertising if nothing elsee!). As noted, there is some edge bumping and some warping, mostly on 1 of the Geese, and another is faded more than the others, as can be seen in the photos. 3 of the four retain their original “Dunster Sporting Goods Co., Seattle, Wash. Patent Pend.” Labels. These are not your everyday Goose Decoys!
