What Perdews have brought
How these numbers are madeEvery dot is a sale (price includes buyer's premium, log scale). The line is the median of the trailing twelve months, shown only when that window has at least 5 sales. The “Decoys only” view removes 8 miniatures and decoratives from the line. Hover or tap any dot for the bird behind it; click to open the sale.
Full-size decoys and shorebirds only (115 lots). Miniatures and decoratives are excluded from the median but still shown as dots. Hover or tap any dot for the bird behind it; click to open the sale.

Prices are what the buyer paid, including the auction house's premium. The line on the chart is the median of the trailing twelve months, redrawn every night. A window holding fewer than 5 sales gets no point at all, which is why the line breaks rather than bridging a quiet stretch.
Only sold lots are counted. Sales by year: 2023: 25 · 2024: 50 · 2025: 31 · 2026: 17. Coverage is Guyette & Deeter and Copley; private sales, shows and other houses aren't in this data.
The recap after every sale
One email after every major decoy auction: what sold, what it brought, which carvers moved.
