July 25 & 26, 2002 - Ogunquit, Maine

The Guyette & Schmidt, Inc. July 25 & 26, 2002 decoy auction grossed $1,370,000 which was around 23% over estimate. We feel that the main reason the prices were so high is that a huge percentage of the items in the sale were from old collections and were unreserved. (8 decoys did not meet reserves. Only 1 on the first day.) Also the sale offered a large quantity of shorebird decoys, which have become hard to find. Leroy Howell fish decoys brought high prices.
