This Goldeneye decoy belongs to one of my gunning partners hereabouts. I have always admired it and plan to portray it in watercolors soon. But, neither of us knows much about it. Our best guess is Thousand Islands/St. Lawrence River region. We can find no ID or other markings. It is well-crafted, with great shape and careful paint. It looks like some ballast was removed from the flat bottom. I cannot determine how an anchor line might have been attached. Your considered opinions are welcome.
All the best,
