“Decoys were used in beautiful areas and in the beautiful areas comes beautiful food - oysters. When you have beautiful food, you have beautiful wine and if you share that experience with friends, it does not get any better than that.” - Robbie Smith, Leland Little Sporting Art Director

Ft. Decoy: Alvirah Wright (NC, 1872-1951), Ruddy Duck​​​​​​​​
The Alvirah Wright ruddy duck decoys have the best form of all the species he carved. Family members estimate that he made and sold from 300 to 500 decoys during his lifetime and sold them commercially for fifty cents each. He was an exceptional carpenter and carved his decoys like he made his boats, with wide sterns and flowing lines. Little did he know that his decoys would be highly coveted by collectors on an international level.​​​​​​​​
