guyette and deeter

July 29 & 30, 2004 - Ogunquit, Maine

850 lots. Featuring decoys from the Collections of Ron Adamson, Bowman Graton, Andi & David Fischer and Gus Knapp. This auction grossed $3,436,810, which was $1,000,000 over estimate. 70 lots sold for over $10,000 and 4 lots sold for over $100,000. Many new buyers competed with long time auction regulars as decoy after decoy sold for two and three times its high estimate. The final tally was the 3rd highest grossing decoy auction ever. Also of interest was that as in our April 2004 auction, items that were purchased in the January 2000 Jim McCleery sale were sold for significant profits.
