  • Pascagoula Decoy Company Employees Operating the Duplicating Lathe Machines
    Pascagoula Decoy Company employees operating the duplicating lathe machines. A guiding arm traced the master mold, which controlled the shape of the decoy. Note the piles of sawdust. CHAPTER 1 COLLECTING DECOYS The evolution of duck decoys can be traced back to primitive days when American Indians used their resourceful talents to construct wild-duck decoys from a combination of mud, grass or reeds, and feathers. Hoping to get a shot with his wooden bow and arrow, the hunter arranged the fake ducks in different patterns to lure the birds within comfortable shooting range—preferably on the water. Using decoys during a hunt remains popular today. In the late 1890s, the popularity of duck hunting increased dramati- cally with the advent of market hunters, or commercial hunters. Because the duck and goose populations were very strong, the commercial market was profitable, and there was a greater need for decoys. The individual hand-carvers could not keep up with demand, so this need was met by factories using duplicating lathe machines. These machines made it possible to manufacture thousands of wooden duck decoys commercially. Up to twelve birds could be produced at the same time. The heads were drilled and fitted for glass eyes and glued for added strength. The head and body were made separate from one another and attached by a wooden dowel. Some of the heads were mounted in a fixed position while others were adjustable, allowing for different poses such as preening or sleeping. The large numbers of birds produced by the lathe machines far sur- passed the number of hand-carved decoys that were previously being pro- duced.

Although he had been a naturalist, hunter, fisherman and antiques collector all his life, his first decoys (a pair of Mason Detroit grade mallards, of course) were given to him by a friend when Eric was already in his fifties. He soon had over 500 of them. Eric and his wife, Marie, were regulars at the Drake, Oakbrook and Pheasant Run meetings of the Midwest Decoy Collectors Association, and all the Illinois old-timers will remember them. Mike became very interested in decoys in the late 1960’s and moved to upstate New York in 1970.

What to do with the decoy collection? As Pitt lay recovering in a Springfield, IL hospital bed, watching an electric heart monitor confirm he was still alive, the ageing duck hunter realized the rules of material possessions hadn’t changed since 1927. That was the year he was born, which meant he had lived a full life already. Even before that near fatal heart attack in November 2000, Pitt long understood how life and death work. Nobody slips into the afterlife with souvenirs collected on earth.

  • Decoys and Decoy Carvers from the Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor
    Decoys and Decoy Carvers from the Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor. A paper to accompany a Folk Art Exhibit, January 26 - February 26, 1986. Lewis University Library, Romeoville, Ill., 1986. 174 AN EXHIBIT OF DECOYS FROM THE ILLINOIS AND MICHIGAN CANAL NATIONAL HERITAGE CORRIDOR This is the second exhibit of Folk Art from the Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor sponsored by Lewis University and the Lewis University Canal Archives, and held in the Lewis University Library. The objective of these exhibits is to explore and record the folk art of the Corridor. This is a neglected area of study, but an important part of our cultural heritage. The University has committed itself to explore and also to pass on to posterity a knowledge of the objects made by skilled but untrained craftsmen, whose artistic vision has been mostly ignored. Decoy making is the most distinctively American of all the folk arts practiced in this country. It is an art not found elsewhere, however, in America examples have been found dating back about 2,000 years. Apparently the Indian reed decoys were not used widely but they were used. The era of wood decoy making began when the West was opened and settlers found what they assumed was an unlimited supply of game birds. This led to that period of animal slaughter by market hunters who supplied thousands of birds to the meat markets of our cities. This era fortunately ended at the turn of the century when prohibitive national legislation was enacted. Some of the old professional hunters, who had made decoys as needed in their hunting, now supplemented their income by making decoys.1 The wooden decoy, either handmade or machine made, flourished from the late 19th century until after World War II.
