Reinbold Miniature Decoys
« on: December 10, 2013, 09:17:19 am »
Greetings,

Since you all are extremely knowledgeable about all sorts of collectibles, I thought I would ask your indulgence in finding out more about my mini decoys. (Please let me know if you need better pics.)

The history is that these were given to me in the 1960's by a neighbor who worked for JP Morgan. I was told they were off of a birthday cake, and that after the party were just going to be thrown out.  The largest one is signed "Reinbold" and states "Pintail".

Thank you in advance for any info.

There's also William Reinbold, possibly the son ? He was making these in the mid 20th. George died 1946.

Thanks, Rauville and Ipcress!
Is there any trick about valuing? I've seen others going for about $99, but they weren't linked to the Morgans.

Try contacting at this site.  With it being actual JP Morgan they could be from the Sr Reinbold!

The least I have seen is $70  the most is close to $900!   So worth your time/interest to find out!

Glad you got it!!!
