Twelve mallard decoys from the maker's hunting rig carved between 1981 and 1990 from redwood and sugar pine. All decoys are hollow with weighted keels and are branded "RC".  Rig consists of two pair of magnum decoys with rasp finish and glass eyes,  body contours plus wing relief.  Drakes have a distinct hole drilled near the tail to simulate curl. Four pair of "tippers" complete the rig and all but one pair of the tippers have raised wingtips. Drakes have all had some in-use repaint by the maker; but all hens are in original paint.  Weights, and lines, and traveling bin included.
