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.
