Miniature Mallard decoys by Charlie "Speed" Joiner (1921-2015), Chestertown, MD.  Signed and dated 1974. Clean, dry all original pant. This pair is exceptional and sure to please. Great early miniature pair for the Joiner collector.

Charlie “Speed” Joiner was a renowned decoy carver from Chestertown, Maryland, celebrated for his craftsmanship and significant contributions to the Chesapeake Bay waterfowling tradition.

Joiner studied under Madison Mitchell, a prominent carver from Havre de Grace, Maryland, and was influenced by the Ward brothers of Crisfield, Maryland. This blend of mentorship and observation helped him develop a distinctive style that combined elements from both traditions with his eye for painting.
