Barbers book is very good but probably not good for identifying, exactly, the carver. Check with Christies or Sothebys--one of them had a decoy auction several years ago. They could probably give you a good ID from a picture.

You may also want to contact the decoy museum at Havre de Grace, Maryland for info.

Best Regards, George

I have been to the decoy museum in Havre de Grace three times and is it ever interesting. I am rather proud that it is on Giles St. , same as my name but I rather doubt the street was named after me or my ancestors.

Have you tried westcoastdecoys.com? They have a lot of information and decoys listed by the various areas they were made. Very interesting decoy site.

If Guyette and Schmidt said they were Napa Valley I'd say that's probably right. They're the top dealers in decoys and have been for quite awhile. If they couldn't put a name to the carver I doubt anybody can.
