Winthrop and Margaret Scott Carter |
We are pleased to announce that our firm was chosen to disperse the fine decoy collection of the late Win & Margaret “Scotty” Carter, of Portsmouth, NH, and Chatham, MA in our Annual July 2010 Summer Auction. Win and "Scotty" were two of our first "customers" and became two of our dearest friends. We first met in the early 1970’s when we were collecting and dealing part time in bird decoys. It was always a treat to stop in to see them in Hollis NH and later in their home and shop on Market Street in Portsmouth, NH. Win and Scotty were well known and respected in the antique world and fixtures in the original New Hampshire Antigue Dealer’s Show in Manchester, NH. After collecting and dealing in decoys for many years they began to focus on the works of Seabrook, NH, decoy maker George Boyd. In fact, Win Carter collaborated with his good friend Ray Egan, on a marvelous little booklet that featured the work of George Boyd.
