This month's Woodshop News has a feature on collectible duck decoys. They have two photos of decoys by Elmer Crowell. One recently sold for over a million dollars. The other dosn't hv avalue listed, but the text states it's even more valuable.
Question; why? I don't mean why are they valuable -- they are beautiful, old, authenticated, and in a niche area. But other fine carved work doesn't sell for anything like that.
