Please don't repaint it or clean it up. In doing so you will radically reduce the value. It has a few dings and stuff on it but that is due to it being used by a waterfowler in the Golden Age of Waterfowling. It is a fine example of that era and was held and used with pride by an old duck hunter. I have a lot of old decoys and each one has a story. I even have some that I learned to duck hunt over on Rush Lake in Wisconsin.
