Only one rig of Lipke decoys has ever surfaced, and they have found their way into top collections. This very hollow drake displays the maker's best form with fat cheeks, a refined bill, and a slightly turned and uplifted head. The underside has "PL" stamped in the weight. Lipke's are among the finest decoys from the state of Indiana. Original paint with light wear.
