ANCIENT DUCK DECOYS

Several of these old decoys were brought to the store a while back, though only a couple of them are suitable to add to a collection. They are constructed of a canvas-like material and filled with chips of cork (I presume). The bills are wood, and wood strips are laced to the undersides. Around the neck is a lead weight attached by a length of cord. If you have an interest in old decoys, these can be had at very reasonable prices.

GORGEOUS CAMEO-LIKE GOLD PENDANT

This is one of the most beautiful pendants I've come across. The oval "matt," which is a thin gold plate containing a monogram, is contained under beveled glass supported by an oval-shaped gold frame. The "photo" of the young girl is composed of a material with which I am unfamiliar; it may be easily replaced if desired. For sale (reluctantly), first floor, $150.
