Hello, does anyone collect antique duck decoys? I've had this one for about 25 yrs. I believe it's hand carved and painted. It appears to be a "working" decoy as opposed to a decorative type, evidenced by the swivel on the lower breast for the weight line attachment and the iron rod/keel on the bottom to make it float upright. Unfortunately, there is a crack running around the neck. Is there a certain style that was used in certain areas of the country? I would welcome any opinions as to the age and value. Thanks and Regards, Leipzig
