Decoys and Sporting Art at Auction

Featuring Session Two of the Ted and Judy Harmon Collection

We are honored to have been chosen by the Harmon family to assist in the sale of their cherished decoy collection, certainly one of the finest assemblages of Massachusetts decoys ever held in private hands.

For Ted, his interest in decoys, especially those from his native Bay State, began in his youth and, since the beginning of their marriage, Ted and Judy's lives have been centered around family and wooden ducks, geese and shorebirds. The Harmon's truly loved their decoys and the tales they held. Not every bird in their collection needed to be pristine to be enjoyed. The history of their makers' lives and the times and circumstances surrounding the individual decoy's use was an equally important part of the story and added greatly to their pleasure. We have tried to use this same approach in developing this exhibition catalog. In so doing we have borrowed liberally from research done by others and gratefully acknowledge the scholarship of these numerous students, authors and institutions and have listed as many of them as possible at the end of this booklet.
