Mason Decoy Factory Hand Carved Duck Decoys
Born out of a true to life duck hunter into a work of art that is still revered even to this day, the Mason Decoy Factory was a prominent player in the decoy market in the early 20th century. Founded my William James Mason in the shadows of Lake St. Clair in Detroit, Michigan. Designed at first to be a part of his own decoy spread, he decided that making them commercially could be lucrative as well. With the help of a small work force he was able to manufacture and hand paint the decoys and the sell them on the open market.
The company really took off when William's son Herbert took over the business. In 1905 William passed away and the company was set to run completely by Herbert. He took the company nationwide through the use of advertising and also expanded the product line to more budget friendly decoys in addition to the high quality decoys the company had been founded on.
