Well, if you are into waterfowl history or gunning, this Rare Early Antique Cast Iron Sinkbox Redhead Duck Decoy is going to make you lose your mind. Late in the 19th Century to the early 20th Century, sink boxes were special boats that floated nearly level with the surface of the water. The hunter/market gunner would lie down inside of the boat with cast iron decoys all around the flat outside edges of the boat that would hold the boat level with the water. These Sinkbox Cast Iron Decoys also helped to lure ducks within shooting range. There are examples of these boats in many of the Decoy Museums such as the Chesapeake Maritime Museum in St.

Michaels, MD and the Havre de Grace, MD Decoy Museum. Sinkbox Boats were outlawed in the 1930s. I attached a photo of a hunter or market gunner in his sinkbox boat lined with cast iron sinkbox decoys (canvasbacks) for your reference.
