I have these 2 duck decoys and they are very different stylistically. How can I tell where and when these were made? Are there specific things to look at? I think they are wood but maybe plaster? Only 1 has any maker mark at all and it is pretty rough. The other looks more amateur maybe? Or by a new painter at least. Thank you

I'm at an estate sale and the owner has a lot of pieces from Europe. Does anyone here know about vintage (1936) seaweed / sea coral specimen pressings? Can you tell if these are real or painted? The price is 195 each which I think is great of they are real
