Two Early 20th Century Decoy Pigeons, One Springloaded
About the Item
An unusual and collectable pair of early 20th century decoy pigeons, these are heavy grey painted wood, with one having a spring loaded shaft attached and the other with a painted brass beak. Both have metal eyes and a metal loop in the back. The spring is attached to a loop underneath the tail and to the iron shaft, which is set in a slot beneath the pigeon. When the lever is moved across, the pigeon dips, and then springs back. There is a further metal loop in the chest which is likely to be part of the manipulation mechanism. Both pigeons have been given later wooden block stands, with a slot to insert the iron shaft on one. These will make a great addition to a decoy collection, but are also wonderful decorative pieces.
