:welcome: Hi! My name is Ron. I'm glad to be a part of this FORUM. I need some help on Identifying a Decoy I just bought. It is a CANADA GOOSE. It is large, and about 12" long and 12" high with the standard colors of white, beige, black, and greyish/mauve feathers. Solid Body made of pine. Looks to be a vintage decoy, probably 1930s-1940s, maybe older. The neck and head are both separate parts. Has 2 long cracks on the feather area, as well as a few small filler spots, and a few small marks on beak. However, very solid and sturdy Goose. The bottom has an oval stamp that says "WOODEN WILDLIFE - KENNEBUNK MAINE." Has anyone ever heard of this factory or manufacturer? Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Kennebunk is next door to me,but I can't say if I have ever heard of that particular co. before.If I find anything out I'll post up.
Have you tried doing a search on the web for that co.?
