Factory-made bird decoys by Mason, Stevens, Dodge, and Peterson are
covered extensively, featuring only the finest examples by each
maker in this beautifully illustrated book. Color photographs of
over two hundred decoys, plus many black and white photographs and
line drawings, make this an invaluable guide in identifying and
authenticating factory birds. Included are short histories of each
maker. Mason collectors will especially enjoy the chapters on the
different species and the special-order models, while a chapter for
the new collector is devoted to the characteristics of the different
grades of Masons and how to distinguish them.
