I have 2 miniature hand carved ducks that my dad left me. He worked at the Edgewood Arsenal for many years. One duck is signed by Frank D and the rest is now not very legible other than Edgewood Md. The other says. To Bob. A nice guy. Frank. My dad treated these like they were made of gold. When he passed he made sure I got them. I have pics and would love to know anything

Hey Barbara, it appears Jim and Joan Seibert once owned Ducks, Etc., in Cape May County. Here's an article we found about them: https://www.nytimes.com/1984/05/27/nyregion/antiques-the-art-of-the-decoy-carver.html

I have a duck carved in '88 signed by., it looks like, J. Seibert. Can you give me any info on this. Thank you

Hi Carol,

We're not familiar with that artist, but you could try contacting the Havre De Grace Duck Decoy Museum (https://decoymuseum.com/) or the Waterfowl Festival (https://www.waterfowlfestival.org/).

Good luck!

I have a duck decoy that was carved by I believe first initial is D, with last name being Yenkes and it is dated 1973.

Do you have any info you could share about the carver? I could send photos of decoy. I believe this decoy is for display only.

Thanks
