Yes Folks, you heard right, we have a PAIR of Canvasbacks carved by the late, great Lee Harker to auction off.
Last week I was contacted by Steve Sutton, who has a friend who had (unknown to Steve) acquired a pair of Lee's Cans after the two became aquainted during the "Old Farts Hunt" out in Washington state years ago. Steve's friend is now purging his lifetime accumulation of duck stuff in an effort to move more efficiently to a place to enjoy his other interests in retirement. His friend wanted $300 for the pair, and Steve and I were of agreement that not only would members here be interested in such a rareity, but we felt a site auction would bring more that that sum...so Steve picked up the pair for the asking price and we will be reinbersing Steve for this and any funds beyond that will go to the site to pay expenses.
Description of goods...from the horses mouth:

Auction will run from now through 9PM EDT Wednesday October 30th. Bid by posting a reply to this thread. We can start with my standard minimum starting bid of $50, minimum raise of $5, but we have a reserve of $300. Any questions, PM me or post here as well.
Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to get your hands on a pair of decoys like this and help out the site at the same time.
Happy bidding,
Chuck
