March 31, 2015 Vol. 20 No. 35 News Periodical Mailed on March 25 Forty-Six Years Later, Wisconsin’s Original Decoy & Sporting Show Still Going Strong Article & photos by Brian Maloney It was way back in 1970 when a small group of decoy collectors got together and held the very first Wisconsin Decoy and Sporting Collectibles Show. And more than two generations later, the event is still going strong - the oldest event of its kind in the state. The show itself is a From Mike Trudel, a matched pair of one-day affair, but there are three days of spirited room-to-room trading Robert Swan goldeneye decoys, price preceding it, all open to the public. It’s the love of the hobby that brings tag $500. 920-293-4282 both the exhibitors and shoppers here to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where you can find decoys both old and new, lots of other sporting-related collectibles, and an enthusiasm that’s just plain contagious!

Article & photos by Brian Maloney February 17th was a cold and blustery day in Janesville Wisconsin, but it was warm and bright inside the Rock County Fairgrounds' Craig Center Exhibition Hall, the site of another great George Auction Service sale. Sold were the treasures from a near century-old local collector’s estate, whose eclectic tastes included everything from high-end art glass to litho-tin toys. The surprise of the day was neither though: an 1893 book titled Art Work of Rock County that sold to a happy buyer for Marked $625.

For many years, the event has been held at the beautiful Hilton Garden Inn of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It’s an easy three-hour drive from Chicago - less than half that from Milwaukee. Although the show is an independent one, and not affil- iated with any club, it is still very much a collector’s show. Dozens of decoy and sporting enthusiasts buy, swap, and sell from their hotel rooms during the week, then head down to the show itself, held in the Hotel’s ballroom on Saturday. You may not have even thought about it, but decoys truly are one of North America’s original art forms. The idea is probably much older than most of us realize. Early colonists found the Native Americans already successfully using duck decoys, as they had been for many centuries before. These immigrants then began using the same technique with decoys of their own design - just to feed their families. The coming of the railroads changed everything. The rapidly-growing urban populations needed food, and the trains were an easy way for the new “market Award winning carver Marv Meyer hunters” to quickly get their waterfowl harvest to the big cities. That wholesale hunt- brought two exceptional carved butter- ing of ducks meant a need for huge quantities of decoys too. As you might imagine, nut ducks, with natural walnut hull it’s the period where most of the commercial decoy factories had their heyday as well. stains and priced at $750 and $1,250. That’s when the iconic makers such as Peterson, Mason, and Dodge got their starts. 608-372-6066 I caught Wisconsin decoy carver Mike They’re still one of the most collectible categories of decoys today, with factory birds Trudel working at his craft between to be found in nearly every display at the show. customers. He produces gunning birds But there were many smaller factories making decoys during the period, among the like this bluebills, price tag $100 for the most notable the Badger State’s Evans Decoy Company. Based in Ladysmith, pair. 920-293-4282 Wisconsin in the 1920s and 1930s, they produced three grades of decoys in several Midwestern species. And of course, thousands of talented, and not-so-talented, hunters carved decoys for their own use. Most all of the exhibitors are avid sportsman, coming into the hobby of decoy col- lecting from the love of sporting and the outdoors. Some are from the immediate area, which because of massive Lake Winnebago and other area lakes, has a rich his- tory of waterfowl hunting. Others come from several surrounding states, with many hailing from Illinois River country, the Midwest’s most legendary waterfowling area. Matched That’s where many of the most revered early decoy makers plied their trade.

That system $300. 608-372-6066 became something of the norm among Illinois River carvers, resulting in the famous husband and wife teams of Bert and Millie Graves and Charles and Edna Perdew. All produced decoys in a style distinct to the region: sleek and streamlined, in great contrast to the chunky “humpback” style preferred by Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago carvers. You’ll find dozens of examples of both Illinois River & Lake Winnebago birds all over the show - plus decoys from California to the Two Native American baskets from Canadian Provinces.

Many of the region’s premier wildlife carvers come every year too, with examples of their latest masterpieces for sale, from traditional duck decoys to decorative carvings of everything from tiny songbirds to life-size birds of prey. You can’t help but have a good time at the show. I look forward to the event each year, and I don’t even collect decoys. Longtime decoy collector (and Wisconsin Decoy Collectors Association President) Roger Ludwig organizes the event. He can be reached at 920-233-0349.
