Hey guys...
This one's kinda off-the-wall but with all the varied expertise hangin' out here, I thought somebody might be able to, at least, point me in the right direction.
My wife is Director of Operations for the YMCA at a major university and they're preparing for their annual campus garage sale. This afternoon a very nice hand-carved duck decoy turned up in a box of knick-knacks dropped off by an older alumni. (You wouldn't believe some of the stuff that has shown up there...I've financed, at least one gun buying off the Y's annual sale and reselling on fleaBay.)
Decoy is a mallard hen in mint condition, signed by "P Korman" and originally marketed (I think) by "the Hadley Companies."
Anyone have any idea of the value of this decoy...or any idea where I could research its value on my own. I'm not looking to buy the piece for myself, but I suspect it's way too valuable for the Y to set out on a table of artsy-fartsy wildlife prints and mass-produced ceramic cats, tagged for $1 or $2 each. Can provide pics via e-mail if anyone would like a look at it.
