East Dennis, Mass.
:A large selection of Elmer Crowell miniature and decorative carvings had the capacity crowd sitting on the edge of their seats at Eldred's on August 1, during the fourth and final auction conducted during the summer series of decoy sales. The first of several consecutive auctions for Eldred's that range from Americana to Asian, this sale is always a popular finale. With close to 200 lots of waterfowl and fishing materials, it is the smallest of the four auctions, yet there is always a great assortment of material, and this year was no exception. Included in the grouping was an impressive selection of Crowell decorative and miniature carvings that had remained in the same family since they were originally purchased directly from the carver. | Guyette & Schmidt, Inc. is the world's largest antique decoy auction firm.
