800+ lots. Featuring decoys from the Collections of Ron Adamson, Jack McKay, Barton Blum and Harry W. Chesley, Jr. This auction was amazing. The crowd was not larger than usual (around 300), the contents of the sale were not exceptional, but the prices were extremely strong across the board. All price levels and categories did well. The gross was $1,460,000 which was around 35% over estimate
