Antique 19th Century Folk Art Bird Hunting Tool and Decoy

About the Item

19th century French bird hunter's tool and decoy. This item was placed in the ground and wound up. The hunter would pull a string causing the head of the tool to rotate. With the reflection and movement, birds would mistake it for a bird that had landed below and found safe haven. The unsuspecting birds would fly towards the object below. Each tool is priced individually and comes with a custom iron wall mount so that the tool can be displayed. Great gift for hunting aficionados!
