Early papier-mâché decoys were made from newspapers and brown paper bags, molded and held together with a waterproof adhesive (Earnest 1965; 101). Papier-mâché decoys were first commercially manufactured prior to WWII and continued in production until the early 1960s. Carry-Lite Decoys of Milwaukee was one of the earliest manufacturers, beginning production in 1939 (Fleckenstein 1981).
