| These photographs were taken at the annual decoy festival in G-Tuckerton; 47GT on the afternoon of Saturday, October 9. The festival consisted of a variety of display tables, all types of which are represented in the photographs. For more information on the festival, refer to PFP-83-FTC1009. More photographs from the festival can be found on PFP-83-CTC-002. The artifacts in the photographs on this log may be grouped into three distinct categories: 1) Old-style working decoys, carved by New Jersey, Barnegat Bay area carvers between 1880 and 1950. These are represented in photographs 1-8; 2) Contemporary decorative wildfowl carvings, intended primarily for display, more selfconcious artistic intent on the part of the carver. These are represented in photographs 9-14; 3) Miscellaneous items of a popular nature bearing motifs derived from a maritime environment. These are represented in photographs 15-16. 01, Mallard (right), a working decoy carved by Ike Truax; 02, Rear view of #01; 03, Brant carved by Bradford Salmon; 04, Front view of #03; 05, Rear view of #03; 06, Brant (front) and Canada Goose (rear) carved by Bradford Salmon; 07, Front view of #06; 08, Tail view of #06; 09, Unfinished duck carving, showing pencil lines indicating where carver will incise feathers. In rear are two finished carvings mounted on wall plaques; 10, Detail of #09, showing decoratively carved mallard mounted on plaque; 11, Canada Goose, carved from cork and hand painted. This could be used as a working decoy, but this one was carved as a display item; 12, Decoy with cork body and pine head, unfinished. As with the goose in photograph #11, this is referred to as a working decoy, but decoys of this type are primarily sold as decorative items. However, both this decoy and the goose in #11 can be grouped with photographs 01-08; 13, Decorative decoys. Note that they are more naturalistic and more brightly colored than the decoys in #s 1-8. The retention of the descriptive term "decoy" for this kind of carving is interesting, but not especially appropriate; 14, Another view of the table depicted in *13, this time incorporating wall-plaque carvings; 15, Painted brick door stoppers. Note the predominance of maritime motifs and the introduction of a farmscape in winter. Also, painted sand dollars; 16, Another view of table depicted in *15, this time focusing on the painted sand dollars. | |||||||||||||

| These photographs continue the documentation of the Tuckerton Decoy Festival as begun in PFP-83-CTC-001. As with the first group, these too may be analyzed into several distinct categories. Slides 1-2 represent display tables set up for information purposes primarily; slides 3-17 are old working decoys carved in the Barnegat Bay area; slides 18-21 depict decoys that may be employed in duck hunting, but will probably be sold to people who wish to display them in their homes, or perhaps on their lawns; slides 22-24 represent more decorative decoys intended for display purposes only, and models of sneakboxes, also intended for display; slides 25-27 depict fullsize artifacts intended for use; 01, The New Jersey Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife display stand. There were photographs and literature pertaining to the mission of the Division, and someone was on hand all day to answer questions; 02, The Pinelands Cultural Society display stand. Note the bumper stickers, the pins, and the cookbook, "Chicken Foot Soup", all of which are for s ale. The Society was formed to preserve and promulgate Pinelands culture, and an important part of their activity as a group centers around fund raising; 03, Front view of Canada Goose, a working decoy carved by Lloyd Parker; 04, Side view or Parker Goose; 05, Front view of #03, placed in a different setting; 06, Top view of #03. Note notch behind neck, known locally as an "ice-catcher; 07, Redhead, carved by Lloyd Parker of Parkertown; 08, Top/side view of #07; 09, Rear view of #07. Note the full, rounded features of the decoy, a characteristic of the southerly carving region of Barnegat Bay; 10, Side view of mallard carved by Rolly Horner; 11, Front view of #10; 12, Rear view of #10. Note maritime motifs rendered in stained glass in the background; 13, Top view of #10, indicating painting style; 14, Bottom view of #10. Note the leather thong on extreme left of decoy, by which the stool was attached to the duck hunter's gunning rig; 15, Canada Goose, a working decoy carved by Willis Johnson, a Barnegat Bay area carver. This decoy has aroused some interest because of the carved tall feathers, which is a style usually employed in the Delaware River region further south, but is not found in Barnegat Bay decoys; 16, Detail of #15, showing carved tall feathers; 17, Front view of #15; 18, Unpainted shore birds for sale. Although these carvings could be stuck in the sand to lure passing birds, they will probably be used for decorative purposes. Note that all of these carvings are mounted on stands, which signals "display."; 19, Painted cork decoys for sale. As with the carvings depicted in #18, these decoys will probably not be put to work, although note the keels on bottom, a sure sign that they could be functional; 20, Another view of table depicted in #19; 21, Decorative wildfowl carvings. The sign classifies them as "Stool Duck", indicating that they are potential decoys, but these are intended strictly for display purposes; 22, More decorative wildfowl carvings. Note the model sneakboxes at extreme left, and the knife racks in rear; 23, Another view of the table depicted in #22, showing more model sneakboxes. The small figures in the rear of the boats are miniature decoys; 24, Sneakbox models made by Bill Rutter of West Creek, near Tuckerton. These are made of cedar, and sell for about $250.00 each; 25, Sneakbox with banjo, both built by Sam Hunt of Waretown; 26, Sneakbox built by Steve George; 27, Rocking chair built by Sam Hunt | |||||||||||||

| Cf. PFP-83-FTC1007 and PFP-83-FTC1117. G-Forked River; 49GT; G-Barnegat Bay; 42GT Clamming with Kenny Oliver; 01, The "Mud Duck" at dockside. This garvey was built by Joe Reid of G-Waretown; 53GT. The owner is Kenny Oliver, who is a parttime clammer and bayman, and full-time employee of the State of New Jersey. Although this garvey is built with a cabin, the traditional work garvey did not have such a convenience. It is possible for Kenny to have a cabin because of the method of clamming that he employs. Termed "rakin", this involves dropping a rake over the stern of the boat and raking clams into the rake heads as the boats drifts slowly with the tide. In other methods, such as tonging, the clammer walks up and down the length of the boat, and often switches sides. A cabin is a definite disadvantage when this method is employed, because it inhibits the mobility of the clammer. The "Mud Duck" is docked at the Riveria South Winds marina in Lacey Township just off of Route 9; 02, This photograph was taken as Kenny steered the boat onto the clamming grounds. Note the other work garvey in the background. Its owner was also clamming by the raking method; 03, When this photograph was taken, we had arrived at a suitable spot for clamming, and Kenny was making preparations to do so. Here he is preparing to drop an "anchor." Actually, the function of this device is to dig in the soft bay bottom and slow the movement of the boat caused by the tides. The raking method of clamming, however, is dependent upon some movement of the boat; 04, The clam rake head in the bottom of the boat; 05, When not in use, the rake handle and the head, or basket, are separated. Here Kenny is joining them in preparation for clamming; 06, Kenny is about to drop the rake into the water; 07, Kenny is shown raking for clams. For a fuller description of this activity see PFP-83-FTC1117; 08, Pulling the rake out of the water, with clams visible in the rake head. Kenny says that he can count the clams as they enter the rake head by paying attention to the vibrations transmitted through the rake handle; 09, Depositing clams on the deck; 10, Clams on the deck of the garvey. When a sufficient number have been deposited there, the clammer sorts them, throws debris, such as dirt and stones and empty shells, back into the water, and bags the clams. The clams are sorted by size, and generally fall into three categories. The rake handle is visible in the background. | |||||||||||||

| Living room of Ed Hazelton of G-Manahawkin; 56GT. Ed recently retired from the building trades. He is a long-time duck hunter and avid local historian. He carves decoys and builds model sneakboxes, as well as other local craft; 01, Ed's collection of old glass bottles; 02, A portion of his bookcase. His collection includes books on local history, sports such as hunting and fishing, and decoys. The books reflect his major interests; 03, Two model sneakboxes made by Ed. The setting is appropriate. Note the shore bird decoy on the right and the duck decoy (a mallard hen?) on the left; 04, A boat model built by Ed, of the type that was used to ferry visiting sportsmen from the mainland to hotels on the bay; 05, Another boat model built by Ed; 06, Two bufflehead duck decoys carved by Ed. The living room was filled with decoys that he himself had carved. Ed owns decoys that were carved by other men, some of them old working decoys, but these are not on display in his living room. Rather, the occupy a table and shelves in a room off the living room, which I believe to be a converted garage; 07, A group of decoys carved by Ed occupies one of the end tables in the living room; 08, Ed holding a hissing Canada goose that he carved one or two years ago for his grandson; 09, Ed and Nora Rubinstein looking at a history of Stafford Township that was produced in celebration of the American Bicentennial. Ed was a contributor to the volume; 10, One of Ed's fowling pieces; 11, One of Ed's father's fowling pieces, dating back to the turn of the century; 12, Ed examining a U. S. Geologic Survey map of the Manahawkin area in order to point out his favorite ducking grounds and the locations of some of the old gun clubs in the area. | |||||||||||||

| See PFP-83-FTC1116. Joe Reid's workshop G-Waretown; 53GT as he works on some clamming equipment; 01, A pair of wood-head clamming handles and rakes. This type of handle had been used by clammers on the bay at one time, but had been superceded by metal heads. Joe made these and put them out in his yard, where they are currently "on display."; 02, Close-up of wood heads; 03, Small garveys awaiting repairs in Joe's yard. Joe says that he always has new orders to fill and old garveys to repair, as well as a backlog of orders for tonging handles; 04, Some white cedar, which Joe uses for building garveys, "seasoning out" in the yard outside the shop; 05, The entrance to the workshop. Joe erects a frame to the south side of his shop, to which he attaches plastic sheeting. The result is a kind of greenhouse effect, which is useful in winter when the shop is cold. The plastic helps capture heat in the front of the shop, and Joe can go there to warm up as he works. On cloudy days, Joe uses a space heater to keep warm; 06, Mahogany boards, from which Joe shapes tonging handles; 07, Joe planing a tonging handle; 08, A close-up of an identification plate that Joe attaches to every pair of handles that he produces. Joe says that they are useful in telling him if he made a particular pair of tongs, and when. The identification number is the date of manufacture, or rather that the tongs are completed. Joe will replace or repair a pair of tongs that break or prove defective within a certain period of time after they are made; 09, Joe numbering an identification plate with hammer and chisel; 10, Chiseling slot in tong handle to accommodate identification plate; 11, Shaping the end of a tong handle in order to enable insertion into rake; 12, Fitting rake head onto handle; 13, Securing the heads onto the handles; 14, Joe takes a measurement before attaching the two tong handles together with a brass pin; 15, Insertion of pin into tong handles; 16, Close-up of handles, showing pin that serves as pivot and fastener; 17, Close-up of finished tonging heads. | |||||||||||||
