Blue-Winged Teal Drake Decoy
Paul Lipke (1892-1970), Whiting, IN, Ca. 1940

Hover over image for more detail. Click to magnify.

Lipke carved a follky hollow decoy in his own style using his interpration of Mason paint patterns. This is perhaps the best example of his work. Untouched original paint with minor flaking. The underside has his "PL" stamped in its weight.

Only one rig of Lipke decoys has surfaced. This very hollow drake displays the maker's best form with fat cheeks, a refined bill, and a slightly turned and uplifted head. It is pictured in Kangas' "Great Lakes Decoy Interpretations" book, page 180.

Lipke's carvings are among the finest decoys from the state of Indiana.

12" \ long.
