Hope you and friends remain safe and that this storm dissipates rapidly. P.S. interesting bit of editorializing with that, er, um, ..... "duck" decoy  J |

Stay safe. Would be a tough choice to decide which one to save and which two to use as paddles...

It's an old Loon decoy. Nothing "editorialized" or unusual about it at all... L Hope you and friends remain safe and that this storm dissipates rapidly. P.S. interesting bit of editorializing with that, er, um, ..... "duck" decoy J |

P.S. interesting bit of editorializing with that, er, um, ..... "duck" decoy J Well pardon me, being from NOLA, the first one I lived through was Betsy and the last one was Issac but the one that convinced me that staying was for loons was Katrina... I managed to get through that storm with a minimum of flooding and only a few windows blown out and no guitars drowned. All things considered, living without electricity, water or a place to buy groceries for a month wasn't all that bad. I worked in News then and got to meet a few dozen dead people and as a sound recordist got to hear peoples misery for 12 hours a day in the headphones. Hurricane season gets me a bit antsy... I figured you might have placed the loon there as a bit of statement, my bad, Glad you survived. j |

Creolian. I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were saying somebody had "editorialized" (which I took to mean they took liberties when painting) the duck decoy.

My Sears has no finsh on it and I want to send it to Rik Besser for a Duco job. Thing is, I already have a really nice, original green/gray duco on a '32 Duolian, so I want the '31 sears to be different. Has anyone seen other colors on the Sears? Mark's book indicates that they used whatever color the current production run of National Duolians was getting and in the serial # section there is mention of brown, black and the gray/green Duco. I have ony seen green. Mark's book also says that there were only something like 600 of the Sears models made!
