cascade Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Sorting through my loft and came across 10 of these H & h decoys plus 4 stands all in great condition If memory serves you inflate a balloon inside the decoy and peg to the floor I have no idea of their worth, can anyone enlighten me, I`m informed that they are a very sort after collectors item ????

Catamong Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 You've struck lucky, they're arguably the best pigeon decoy ever made, I'm sure a lot of "old timers" on this forum will agree..? They are a very lifelike decoy, I've recently re-painted mine as they've suffered a lot of abuse over time, I actually filled them with bubble wrap, others on this forum have used expanding foam instead of the original balloon idea..? Having said that, I don't think you'll be able to retire on the proceeds if you sell them, you may get about a tenner each..? If you are still into pigeon shooting, I would keep 'em and use 'em..!

cascade Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Cat Thanks for the reply, I was just curious as to their value and popularity, I've had these approximately 30 years I bought 24 , I don't have a clue what's happened to the others We used to fill them with newspaper but this wasn`t as good as a balloon, with a balloon inside and pegged they bob about in the slightest breeze giving the movement Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Cascade, you have made a middle-aged pigeon shooter very happy, if somewhat poorer . Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getthegat Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Is it just the angle of the photos, or do they look like they've been eating too many chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
