General Fibre Company, also known as the General Moulding Company, was an American manufacturer of a wide variety of fiber and plastic molded products. The company was known for its popular Ariduk brand of duck and goose decoys. [1]
After World War II, the company became less profitable because of competition from makers of the new aluminum and fibreglass canoes, which were easier to mass-produce. [3] [5] The company began to manufacture wooden powerboats and sailboats, as well as related products such as duck decoys, water skis and surf boards.
A duck decoy (or decoy duck) is a man-made object resembling a duck. Duck decoys are typically used in waterfowl hunting to attract real ducks, but they are also used as collectible art pieces. [1] Duck decoys were historically carved from wood, often Atlantic white cedar wood on the east coast of the United States, [2] or cork.
Their decoys are highly prized by collectors. Few examples of their work survive on the open market, as private collectors and museums now own most of their original works. In November 2006, a Ward Brothers goldeneye drake decoy sold for US$109,250 at an Easton, Maryland waterfowl festival auction. [ 1 ]
