Hi there HB! Cool Pic! Is there a way to date these bands? What might one sell for, typically? I have one that I bought at a yard sale a few years back, so I'm interested in seeing if it's got any value to it.

Bands that are un-reported typically bring more money, so people can brag and say they shot the bird themselves, I would assume by the size they are possibly wood duck bands. They appear to be the old Avise style, but I cannot tell for sure. I do know that they are interesting, and tell alot about migration patterns etc. You can find out more Info at this link. Hope the link works, and the info helped!
