ST. MICHAELS, Md. – More than 340 lots of fine sporting arms, including Winchesters, Parkers, L. C. Smiths and more all head to market at Guyette & Deeter‘s Fine Sporting Arms Auction on Saturday, February 10. The complete catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Heading the sale with an estimate of $50,000-$80,000 is a factory-original 1984 Winchester Model 21 Grand American in 28 gauge and 410 bore. Built by the United States Repeating Arms Company as a special order for one Carl E. Press, the rib features as-ordered engraving to the original owner and has gold plated SST, auto ejectors and auto safety. Truly an over-the-top firearm, its original purchase price 40 years ago was $35,000 upon delivery.

Phillip Russell Goodwin (1881-1935) was a top-tier American sporting-art painter and illustrator whose works were reproduced by firearm and outdoors manufacturers in their advertising – often on calendars. This original oil on canvas, titled A Welcome Opportunity, measures 29 by 36in and is accompanied by a handful of examples of the work being used in period advertising in 1925 and 1935. It carries an estimate of $50,000-$70,000.

Working earlier than Goodwin was John Martin Tracy (1843-1893). In an 1895 retrospective on his career, the New York Times opined “J. M. Tracy was a painter to delight the heart of all sporting men.” Tracy fought for the Union Army in the Civil War and later studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Dying at just 49, few of Tracy’s works ever come to market, with most held in private collections or by institutions such as the American Kennel Club. Marsh Shooting is a self-portrait of the artist and his setter retrieving a snipe. Last on the market in 2009, it has an estimate of $25,000-$35,000.

The sale includes two notable cigar store American Indian figures. The first is attributed to Louis Jobin (1845-1928) of Montreal, Canada, who had trained in New York before opening his own shop in 1876. Standing 78in in height, the figure has been previously restored and distressed to look aged. Even so, it commands a $20,000-$30,000 estimate.

The second is a ‘leaner’ style indicative of Thomas Brooks (1828-1895) of New York. His shop developed a way of supporting the figures more substantially by having them ‘lean’, or be connected, to an external structure — in this case, a corner post with an integrated club. The trade sign is estimated at $20,000-$30,000.

ST. MICHAELS, Md. — For collectors and sporting enthusiasts, there is no better time of the year than autumn, when duck season commences. Following tradition, Guyette & Deeter have announced its Annual Fall Auction, held in association with the Easton (Maryland) Waterfowl Festival, for Saturday, November 11 and Sunday, November 12. The catalogs are now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers (Day 1, Day 2).

Decoys and carved artworks reign at this event, with hundreds of examples from the earliest days to contemporary designs available. This sleeping mallard drake made in 1948 by the Ward Brothers was likely the exact item that catapulted them to eternal decoy fame. The lot showcases a drake with his beak tucked for a snooze, which earned top honors, and it also includes a ribbon and a sterling silver plate engraved ‘Best in Show 1948, National Decoy Makers Contest, National Sportsman Show, New York City. Presented by R.J. Schaffer to LT Ward’. Carved from balsa with an inserted hardwood tail and carved pine head, the complete lot is estimated at $35,000-$75,000.

An early and outstanding example of decoy artistry, this mallard drake was carved and painted by John English of Florence, New Jersey, some time in the late 19th century. Formerly on display in an East Coast museum, it was recently deaccessioned and is now making its way to market. It is estimated at $30,000-$50,000.

Elmer Crowell (1862-1952) was a hunter, painter and master decoy carver from Massachusetts whose early output is coveted by collectors. This pair of decorative bluebills with chicks are in original condition with minor flaking, and are modeled at two-thirds the size of mature birds. The complete lot is estimated at $8,000-$12,000.

Green-winged teal are the smallest dabbling ducks in North America. The drake and hen pair by Charles Bergman of Astoria, Oregon – a well-known carver who has had many items appear at auction – date to the second quarter of the 20th century. With minor wear from field use, the set is estimated at $40,000-$60,000.

ST. MICHAELS, Md. — More than 500 lots of fine sporting arms come to auction at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in Guyette & Deeter‘s two-day event, scheduled for Monday, September 11 and Tuesday, September 12 (Day 1, Day 2). Bidding is available at LiveAuctioneers.

Quality and rarity are hallmarks among the top lots of the sale. The firearms built by Parker Bros. Manufacturing Company (1867-1942) are today considered some of the finest shotguns ever made, and as such exceptional pieces command top prices in the contemporary market.

For example, this Parker 28 gauge shotgun in like-new condition with original packaging, hang tag and a 1941 letter from Parker to the buyer is estimated at $50,000-$90,000. It is described by the auctioneer as “truly exceptional, essentially as new.”

From master British gunsmiths Holland & Holland, holder of two Royal warrants, comes this set of two 1999-built “Royal” opening shotguns. Built using vintage Holland & Holland traits, the boxed set is estimated at $50,000-$75,000.

Germany’s fine arms artisans are well represented in the sale. On Day 2, this engraved and gold-inlaid single-shot percussion rifle from M.A. Gmeiner & Sohn, dating to the 1800s, is in incredible condition. The engraving features imagery of two hunters (jaegers) discussing their take of the day while a hound looks on. Winner of a 10 Best Arms Award at an NRA event, this piece has an estimate of $10,000-$18,000.

Register now for both Day 1 and Day 2 at Guyette & Deeter’s Fine Sporting Arms auction September 11-12.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – An extraordinary American 19th-century wooden walking stick, only the second to be attributed to the same African American carver, hammered for $120,000 against an estimate of $50,000-$80,000 during Guyette & Deeter’s August 8-9 Summer Decoy and Sporting Auction. Absentee and Internet live bidding was facilitated through LiveAuctioneers.

The first wooden walking stick attributed to Henry Gudgell, an enslaved man who was freed after the Civil War and settled in Missouri, is in the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery. In a fall 2008 issue of Folk Art magazine, Allan Weiss described his discovery of the walking stick, his hunch that it was the work of Gudgell, and the 20-year quest to prove his hunch.

The light hardwood walking stick presented at Guyette & Deeter shared motifs and details with the one in the Yale collection. It boasts spiral fluting that is interrupted by two plain bands; further down, it is encircled by a diamond pattern; and it features carvings of a lizard, a tortoise, and a snake that winds its body around the shaft of the stick. Gudgell was not a carver by trade, but his work as a wheelwright, a blacksmith, and a smith of silver and copper provided him with the knowledge needed to produce the walking stick.

Offered alongside the object was a raft of documentation that included a photograph of Gudgell’s great-granddaughter holding the walking stick and the deed to the 22 acres of land Gudgell purchased in 1870.
