This bold running decoy displays a hard chine, a chip-carved breast, and an underside with provenance markings. There is a Joe French Collection white label and the inked notion "#178," denoting the bird's place in the Shiller Martin Collection at one time.
The red knot flies over 3,500 miles from Brazil to feed on the shores of the Delaware Bay as part of a 9,000-mile journey from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic. This decoy resembles a plump red knot after fueling up on its favorite food, horseshoe crab eggs.
Mostly original paint with heavy gunning wear, working black overpaint to breast, and a possibly replaced bill.

- "WHITE MALLARD CLUB" PINCH-BREAST PINTAILThe
"WHITE MALLARD CLUB" PINCH-BREAST PINTAILThe Ward Brothers
Lemuel T. (1896-1984) and Stephen (1895-1976)
Crisfield, MD, c. 1932
18 3/4 in. long
“The Ward Brothers made pintails early on in their craft and they were made in a variety of designs and forms… There is no finer work done in decoys than that which is exhibited in the 1932 Pinched Breast Pintails, or the 1936 Classic Pintails.”
— Ronald Gard and Brian McGrath, "Ward Brothers’ Decoys", 1989
The Ward Brothers captured the likeness of species in their carvings as well as any decoy makers in history, and their White Mallard Gun Club rig of pinch-breast pintails are among their pinnacle works.
A rigmate is featured as the cover lot of Session IV of the "Very Rare and Important American Bird Decoys from the Collection of the late William J. Mackey Jr. of Belford, New Jersey." In the catalog, it was described as "one of the finest and best preserved examples of the Ward Brothers...one of the best Ward decoys ever made." Famed singer Andy Williams excited auction goers with his acquisition of that bird.
Decoys from this rig were hunted on the White Mallard Club’s freshwater marshes of the Butte Sink in California’s Sacramento Valley. In describing the White Mallard birds, Ward authorities Gard and McGrath state, “The design is considered the best in Ward pintails…” and further note that “the pintail was Lem Ward’s favorite bird and he shows this preference in the painting of his pintails.” Indeed, the lively and textured stippling on the sides and back of the drake is as good as seen on any decoy. The authors point out that “These decoys were originally bought from Abercrombie and Fitch,” which helps to explain not only their refinement, but their transcontinental journey as well.
This rare and distinctive style is associated with the 1932 model-year, and is obviously named for an eponymous feature of Steve Ward’s articulated form. This decoy displays all of the qualities that have made this rig the Ward’s most sought after. More subtle details include the S-curve of the sharp ridge running from the tip of the tail to the hump in the back, and the high, turned head finished with a pronounced crown. Along with the O’Brien pinch-breast pintails which set the world record for any Ward lot at auction and the Mackey-Williams pair, this Keegan Collection decoy with its slightly turned head sits at the apex of the Ward portfolio. Marking the rig, the underside bears the White Mallard’s horseshoe-shape weight imprint.
Excellent original paint with even gunning wear, some touch-up to reset neck and to the fastener hole on the back of the head. Minor rub to tip of tail.

- GOLDEN PLOVERMr. Webster
Nantucket,
GOLDEN PLOVERMr. Webster
Nantucket, MA, c. 1850
10 in. long
This early plover with a sharp tail cut is among the best of its kind from the iconic Webster rig. It has resided on the island since it was made over a century and a half ago. Created in an upright posture, the swooping lines of this alert siren are on full display.
Early collectors Donal C. O’Brien Jr., William J. Mackey Jr., Adele Earnest, and Dr. Peter Muller all believed that the plover from this rig were some of the finest works of American folk art they had ever come across.
Indeed, Mackey and Donal O’Brien hunted down and acquired fifteen of the seventeen examples that surfaced. The majority continue to reside in the Donal O’Brien Collection and one can be seen in Mackey and Weiler’s "Classic Shorebird Decoys" portfolio.
The rig is consistent in paint, depicted in bold breeding plumage; however, each bird's form is slightly different and the maker's free-hand approach produced a lively flock with no two birds exactly alike.
No survey of Nantucket shorebirds would be complete without an example of Webster's contributions to American folk art.
Original paint with light gunning wear.

Beth Shaut reports that this Portrait of Frederick Carders daughter was part of the Carder family possessions that was lost as a result of a divorce. Probably a one of a kind plaque. While attending the Sept. 2002 Symposium of Carder Steuben Club in Corning, Tom Dimitroff indicated that the plaster cast for this plaque is owned by the Museum.
From the Estate of Paul Windorf. As described in the Early's Fall Art Auction catalogue for Sept. 7, 2002: 607 Rectangular deep cut plaque of a small girl with cut flower accent, 9" x 7", signed F. Carder.
