    Description

    Al Reis started making decoys to sell in 1938 and did-so until1949.  Lived in Chicago, Illinois and made mostly Mallards and a few pintails, blue-bills and wood ducks.  This pair of Mallards are made of Balsa with a basswood head attached with a screw from the bottom allowing the head to rotate.The Hen is really nice and the drake has a few shot scars.  Overall a nice pair to desplay.  See Ken Trayers book "North America Factory Decoys" for more information.
