Ever See One of These?

From what I understand, they were a generic, injection molded decoy that was sold by the Crosby Mfg. company in the "60s & 70s". Similar to the Miller decoy that was produced in West St. Paul. No feathering detail, one pose, and no paint. They were designed for the waterfowler on a budget that could paint his own decoy.

Personally, I've never seen one of these before. Has anyone else?

Yes. No idea as to the value collectors wise.

I remember a sheet of white plastic stapled at the front for a Snow goose dekes which were made in St Paul in the 60-70s. They had plywood silohette heads too.

Minnesotans sure were creative for decoys back in the day.
