About Mason Glasseye Decoys
The Mason Decoy Company (Detroit, MI; 1896-1924) was the most successful commercial maker of gunning decoys. In 1905, Mason began to offer its Standard Grade decoys as its budget line. Glasseye was its highest Standard Grade. Decoys are almost always solid and round bottomed, with workman-like pattern patterns. Learn more about Mason Decoys.
