Antique Wooden Ducks and Saltglazed Stoneware For Sale at Auction in Wainwright Alberta, Feb 16th 2013

Scribner Auction is proud to host the 2nd Annual February Long Wknd MULTI-CONSIGNOR ANTIQUE & COLLECTIBLE AUCTION

Saturday Feb 16, 2013,  10am start. Attendees can expect to see some very high quality pieces and some very rare items at this Antique Auction! This sale features an entire private collection which includes a large variety of glazed crockery, wooden duck decoys, tins, lamps and more items.

MUST REITERATE! THIS SALE HAS AN ENTIRE COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE WOODEN DUCK DECOYS & A COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE GLAZED CROCKS !!!!

ANTIQUE WOODEN DUCK DECOY COLLECTION!
Katrina Scribner, the Auctioneer / Manager Scribner Auction Ltd. Wainwright, AB wrote a little about the Collector.  She wrote,
"... Sandy is a great lady, who works tirelessly as the owner of a Pilot Truck Service in Saskatchewan, Canada. This business has taken Sandy to most points through Western Canada, and has afforded her some opportunities in visiting a few different Auction Sales. When asked how she started collecting, Sandy says “I’ve been collecting Antiques my whole life, but about 30 years ago, I decided on Crocks & Decoys”. Sandy attends as many auction sales as her schedule will allow, and truly enjoys the challenge of finding this type of Crockery & Wooden Decoys, as they are more scarce in Western Canada.  So one Crock lead to another, and one Duck lead to a flock, and, well you get the idea. Sandy stated that “I love my Crocks & Decoys, but I was and still am attracted to any thing with a Country Look”.

The decision to sell her entire Antique Collection was not an easy one, but the sale of her 5 story country home, and a move that took Sandy to a smaller house, made the decision necessary. Sandy has since expressed a bit of relief, and now awaits the sale of her Collection by Public Auction on Feb 16th in Wainwright, AB so that she can look ahead and perhaps, her Crock & Decoy quest will continue, but on a smaller scale.

  1. This gallery of decoys is very cool and I'm surprised at how old some of them are. Terrific post.

    I've added this to my blogroll at www.OCanadaBlog.com.

    Best, Brett
