Very cool. In addition to my beloved Fox guns I also collect vintage decoys, vintage shell boxes, vintage gun catalogs and vintage duck calls. My decoy collecting goes back well before Fox guns. I have never felt the urge to collect signage but I'm amazed how popular its is watching American Picker. I guess decoys are signage for ducks LOL.
Here is a photo of a part of my decoy collection, Bert Graves Peoria Ill.

Two wonderful collections, thanks for sharing. I collect wives. I’m still on the first one so I can afford an occasional inanimate Fox.

Love the decoy picture. Thanks for posting. On my travels looking for old junk there is an antique mall in Sagatuck Mi that has a pretty extensive duck decoy collection. I don't know anything about them but they are sure pretty. John, I am on my first wife also and that is the only way I could have a couple Foxes and some rusty signs!

"Wiedemann's" and "Fine Beer" in a single sign is an oxymoron!!
