A. Elmer Crowell

A. Elmer Crowell (1862-1951) was a master decoy carver from East Harwich, Massachusetts. Crowell specialized in shorebirds, waterfowl, and miniatures. Crowell's decoys are consistently regarded as the finest and most desirable decoys ever made. Two of Crowell's decoys have repeatedly set world records for sales.

Currently, Crowell's preening pintail drake and Canadian goose decoys share the world record at $1.13 million dollars.
