Decoy Magazine

The Delmarva Decoy & Sporting Collectibles Show at the Talbot Community Center in Easton, Maryland is just a week away. We'll be signing up new subscribers, selling books and back issues for decoy collectors and bringing a nice selection of decoys. Here are a few Delmarva decoys we'll be bringing along.

The September/October 2026 issue of Decoy Magazine is now in the mail. Our cover story is on an extraordinary group of Dodge factory decoys that belonged to Peter Lee Norman that were recently reunited. There are profiles on Joe Fallon, the Upper Chesapeake Bay's master of minis, and Sam Smith, a legendary guide and decoy maker from Tuckerton, New Jersey. If your interest is spearfishing decoys, we've identified three newly recognized carvers from Lake St. Clair. And there's the latest show and auction reports. If you're not yet a subscriber, get in touch and we'll get your first issue in the mail.

I have an extra copy of Sotheby's January 1994 auction catalog offering the collection of Bertram K. Little and Nina Fletcher Little. Some great folk art and a number of wonderful decoys. $50 includes domestic shipping.

We picked up a complete set of the 5 Mackey auction catalogs from 1973 and 1974, plus an additional 1974 catalog. All in good condition, includes the price keys. Maybe you own a few that passed through this legendary auction. $200 includes domestic shipping. Only one set, so first come, first served.

Picked up a copy of the March/April 1989 issue of Decoy Magazine with the cover story on the Caines brothers decoys. This issue has been sold out for years. $20 includes domestic shipping.

This year will be bigger and better than ever. Always great decoys for sale.

A little over two months until show time! The show is shaping up to be our best ever. All vendor tables have been filled and we will be posting a list of vendors soon.There will be something for everyone so please come out and join the fun!

The July/August issue of Decoy Magazine is now in the mail. Our cover story is on Roy Conklin, a decoy maker from Alexandria Bay, New York who specialized in decorative miniature and full-sized carvings. There's an interesting editorial on a pair of goldeneyes that were recently donated to the Milwaukee Art Museum and the need to more actively promote decoys to the fine art community. Livingston "Budd" Bennett was a waterman from Cecil County, Maryland who reportedly made top-quality decoys, however, no birds have ever been attributed to his hand. For fish collectors, there's a profile on Tom Christenson of Mt. Clemens, Michigan who specializes in turtles. And there's the latest decoy show and auction reports. If you're not yet a subscriber, get in touch and we'll get your first issue in the mail.
