Vintage Victor Veri-Lite Paper Mache' Duck Decoy, Vintage 1946 Animal Trap Company Northern Pintail Hen Duck Decoy, Man Cave Primitive Art Decor FREE SHIPPING

This 1946 Victor Veri-Lite Paper
Mache' duck decoy is in amazing
condition!

** DESCRIPTION
It is dark brown in color with a
burgundy stripe on the wings,
a black beak, and gold glass eyes...

after researching this, it appears
to be a Northern Pin-tail hen duck.

I could not find a single other decoy
with this coloring (took me quite a
lot of studying to narrow it down to
the pin tail).
There are many with a blue stripe on
the wing, but not one with burgundy
(at least I could find none).

** MANUFACTURER
On the bottom is a large embossing of
VICTOR VERI-LITE DECOY, C1946
ANIMAL TRAP CO. LITITZ PA. U.S.A.

** SIZE
15 1/2" long
5 1/2" wide
7" tall at the head

** CONDITION
This Victor decoy has just a few small
wear spots on the paper mache',
mostly on the bottom edges.

One glass eye is scratched up deals, you
can tell more by feel than by looking at it.

The rope and weights are gone, but
the metal ring is still there.

Since this decoy is in such excellent
condition (for being over 75 years
old), I do believe it was more of a
hunting decoration for someone
who just loved the primitive rustic
farmhouse look!

_____________________________________________
Some info from The Wisconsin
Waterfowl Association....

The Animal Trap Company of North
America (ATCNA) produced hunting
decoys for a greater number of years
than any other decoy factory.
Long before they produced decoys
they were a major producer of animal traps.

In 1918, they began to produce wood
decoys in Lititz, Penn. and later in
Pascagoula, Miss.
Most of the wood decoys were cold
stamped on the bottom with the word
“Victor” which was ATCNA ‘s trade name.

Animal Trap is best known for their
wood decoys, but they also produced
the Veri-Lite paper mache' and Victor
plastic (tenite) models.
Animal Trap Co. ended their wood
constructed decoys in the 1950's.

With a “Victor” decoy on your mantle,
you can enjoy the history of the largest
Decoy Manufacturer in North America!
