About Mason Painted Eye Decoys The Mason Decoy Company (Detroit, MI; 1896-1924) was the most successful commercial maker of gunning decoys. The decoys are cedar; carved on a pattern lathe in a readily identifiable, pleasing form; finished by hand, and painted in elaborate patterns by hand. In 1905, Mason began to offer its Standard Grade decoys as its budget line. Painted Eye was its lowest Standard Grade. Decoys are smaller and solid, with little carving detail and rudimentary paint patterns. Learn more about Mason Decoys.
