I have three sets of limited edition collector plates on the market. Each set features waterfowl images. Although some species were repeated in the various sets, all the painting designs are different.

  
The first set was released in 1986 by Nature’s Heritage, part of the Michigan Natural Resources Magazine of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and is called "Waterfowl of America." The plate size is 8 1/2" in diameter. The set of six features the following species; bufflehead, canvasback, lesser scaup, mallard, pintail, & wood duck.
   

NEW - I now have one set of these plates - with matching numbers, certificates and information, but not the original boxes.  Each of these plates is hand-signed on the back.  The price of this set of six (6) matching number plates is $180.00 plus actual shipping cost to the buyer.  SORRY - This set is now SOLD I have one plate, the pintails, available for $29.50 plus shipping.

The second set was released in 1988 by the Hamilton Collection and is called "American Waterbirds." The plate size is 9" in diameter. The set of eight features the following species; American wigeon, Canada geese, canvasback, hooded merganser, mallard, pintail, snow geese, & wood duck. The set "sold out" and the plates were listed on the secondary market with prices increasing somewhat and varying between the species. (See below for more information on availability)

The third set was released in 1991 by the Hamilton Collection and is called "North American Ducks." The plate size is 8 1/2" in diameter. The set of eight features the following species: bufflehead, blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, hooded merganser, mallard, pintail, redhead, & wood duck. I believe this plate set is also "sold out."  Of this set of plates, I have only a few of the hooded merganser plate, one blue-winged teal plate NOW SOLD and one pintail plate (shown below) NOW SOLD.  These plates are $50 each and shipping charges are extra.  (The hooded merganser image is from my painting "Misty Morning" also published as a fine art limited edition print by Mill Pond Press.) All plates ordered from my studio are individually hand signed on the back.

  

Only a few of the "Misty Morning" hooded merganser plates (shown at left) are available.  They are $50.00 each, plus $5.00 shipping.  (This image is from the limited-edition print "Misty Morning" published by Mill Pond Press.)

 

American Waterbirds

For many years I have been waiting for back orders and not been able to get some of these plates. In 1999 I was able to get a limited quantity of the "American Waterbirds" mentioned above. I am selling them at the secondary price that I had recorded when I first encountered them on the secondary market. I have a very limited inventory of these. I have NO complete sets at this time, and some singles of each design. The actual quantities and prices vary between designs. All plates ordered from my studio are individually hand signed on the back. The images and prices for these plates are listed below (shipping is additional):

Complete set:  $400 plus shipping (NOT available)

American Wigeon, Canvasback (only 3 left), Hooded Merganser: $54.00 ea.
Mallards: $60.00 ea. (TWO available)
Wood Ducks: $60.00 ea. (TWO are currently available)
