Do any of these look like they are worth anything? They are at an estate sale that I'm going to tomorrow and I don't want to pass up on a hidden gem. [Linked Image]

No idea.
I know it's hard to tell from this one pic but it's all I got. I know nothing about decoys.

Not sure if those have any collectors value, the old wood blocks are collectible.

Some look like Herters in the front and the ones in the back are hard foam. Not worth anything when compared with newer decoys with lots of detail and better paint. I would pass.

The Victors (hen lower left and drake 4th from left, brightest green head) have some collector value. They sell anywhere from $20-$40 a piece here. Would make a nice pair, same Victor as traps I believe.

In general the old wooden decoys are the most collectable ones that people are looking to collect .And some that are the cork types also have some value And like others mentioned some of the Victor and Herters or other name brands have some value Most of what is pictured would be OK if yu where lanning to get some decoys to use for hunting .
