Description

I have been asked to sell a large collection of vintage fish decoys with many outstanding decoys, so look for more I will be selling over the coming weeks and months. Up for sale is a small collection of three decoys by Native American Ken Mayberry of Ponsford, Minnesota, deceased. There are being sold as a group because the owner of the collection would like the decoys to stay together. Mayberry carved fish decoys in the Chippewa Flat Style during the 1960's and 70's and these are from that period. One of Mayberry's decoys, a decoy of a leech, was displayed in a curated exhibition of folk art fish decoys in 2012 at the Center for Art in Wood, in Philadelphia, PA called "Hooked on Wood: The Allure of the Fish Decoy." You can see that decoy in the photos of the catalog for that exhibition which are appended here (catalog NOT included). Offered here are all three Mayberry decoys, each in excellent condition. They came into the collection between 2006 and 2009. Red, 6.5 inches, 2.5 oz; White 5.75 inches, 1.6 oz.; Blue, 5.5 inches, 1.4 oz. One feature of the white decoy, in addition to glitter, are spots of red under the fins.
