Think these are decoys ( ducks?!) ?

Pretty sure these are decoys ( are they ducks?!) is there any way I can tell when they were made? They are quite lightweight xx












Whilst I am here, does anyone know what these things are?







Thank you everyone <3 xxx

 

The last one is a Chinese seal (stamp), with sealing wax.

 

This is the result:

 

Because of the little dish, I was going to say it looks like a kit for making Chinese ink, but AJ, as usual, has a better understanding.

 

Lovely,thank you my AJ <3

 

Never ever swould that have occured to me. Now I have a term to google...thank you x x x

 

I cannot do the reply thing nicely like others can.

Copied the bit I didn't want to be in the reply box


Goodness,thank you Davey, that was one thing I WAS sure of that they were decoys
WTH are they then I wonder?
Thank you again x x xxx

 

It all looks perfect to me. What did you intend to do, Bou?

 

Thank you lovely x x x
I got Davey's reply alll mixed up somehow, I am a right doof with Things like That x x

 

Don't worry, it looks fine, and I'm sure Davey understood what you meant.

 

Small picture hooks

 

I am sorry, I usually take measurements as a matter of course...the metal things are half an inch. The ducks are nine inches and seven...if they aren't decoys, do you know what they could be? The paint looks original to me but I am generally clueless. They are a light wood like balsa if that helps x x

 

They're cable pins. Same company who invented bulldog clips.

 

I think the ducks are just for display, especially since they are make of balsa.
Decoys would have some weights or marks of where the weights were attached on the bottom. Only my thoughts but if I made a decoy...I wouldn't want it to float away with the flock ...but I could be wrong!

 

Amazing info,thank you my Mrs. B <3 <3 <3

 

haha even to me,that makes sense now you've explained it xxx thank you x x

 

The small one has paint peeling off the nose/beak/bill and under it looks white ... will take a pic.
