This auction grossed just under $3,600,000; which was over mid estimate. Four lots sold for over $100,000 all of which
were world auction records for the makers. 70 lots sold for over $10,000 with many other records being established in that group.
Many of the decoys valued under $1500 did not sell as well as they have been selling for in the past few Guyette & Schmidt, Inc. auctions.
Our next sale will be in Easton, Maryland on November 7th & 8th. The preview for that auction is viewable by clicking
Preview. Over the next 6 weeks many other decoys will be added to the preview.
Our July 2008 Decoy Auction will be held at the Sheraton in Portland, Maine.
The prices below include the buyer's premium.
