Here is a Vintage Unique Cast Iron Eider Duck Sink Box Decoy. Usually most sink box are Canvasbacks, Buffleheads or Blue Bills. Eiders are primarily hunted in New England, Maine and Nova Scotia.

This Old Cast Iron Sink Box Decoy is in well used working condition with some rust, various layers of paint, primarily a grey or silver overcoat, a little blue, a little red and the bill is painted yellow. Looks like some bumps & bruises on beak from usage. No chips, cracks or breaks. This is a Solid Body Cast Iron Duck with mold seam marks down the middle. This is quite a substantial piece of Cast Iron weighing over 19 pounds. The Eider measures 12 inches in length, 5 inches in width and 5 inches in height. He has a barrel shape body (see the photo taken above the decoy) and has a hole in his tail.

The shotgun shell stand is not included Its unique, too and my hubby wouldn\'t be very happy with me if I sold it !!!

This Sink Box Decoy has a rather unique Folky Art look to it. Just don\'t see many of these Old Working Cast Iron Eider Sink Box decoys around.

A Sink Box Boatis a specializedhunting blindused bywaterfowlhunters. It consists of a weighted, partially submerged enclosure large enough to hold one ormore hunters and suspended from a floating platform. It is placed into calm water so that the hunter may wait with the waterline at approximately shoulder height.

The cast iron sink box duck decoys were placed around the edges of the sink box boat to keep it submerged into the water. I\'ve included a vintage photo showing a hunter in a sink box boat for reference.

In 1918 below-waterline hunting was banned in the United States by authority of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior with the passage of theMigratory Bird Act of 1918.[1]

Please review the many photos to determine condition.
