I am liquidating a lifetime of Duck Stamp prints in the hope that someone will get to enjoy them as much as I have. Whenever they were framed, it was done professionally with acid free materials. Originally purchased by me when they became available.
Wood Ducks BY Artist: John A. Ruthven
He and the Ohio Division of Wildlife have a long history of cooperation and it is fitting he was chosen to do the First Ohio Duck Stamp Print. He also won the Federal Duck Stamp contest in 1960. So you have a print that can only appreciate in value.

PRINT NUMBER: 2,788/9,000

You are basically getting the Signed Stamp for nothing and paying -10% off Market Value for the rest of the package. Some smart buyer is going to get a great deal.
We will have to discuss how you want this shipped and that will be at your cost.
My best experience has been with UPS or FedEx Home Delivery
Every effort to get this to you in the same condition they leave here.
I am also willing to absorb the 1/2 the cost of an art gallery to pack it, as an incentive to you. Recent quote for this was about $20 to $30
We live in Bear, Delaware and I am willing to meet someone in person to deliver the pictures for a Flat Fee of $25.
This would include; most of Delaware, Eastern Shore & Northeastern Maryland, SouthEast PA, South Jersey.
If this is what you want, I will try to work with you, perhaps meet halfway, etc.
