Also known as

Maynard Fred Reece

Maynard Fred Reece (1920–2020) was an American artist associated with Iowa and best known for wildlife subjects. Public sources especially connect him with ducks and other waterfowl, imagery that also shaped his long relationship with the U.S. Federal Duck Stamp competition. Reece won that competition five times, in 1948, 1951, 1959, 1969, and 1971, a record emphasized in the available biography. His documented design work was not limited to ducks: Wikimedia Commons records credit him as designer of a 1972 Bermuda fishing-records stamp series featuring bonefish, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, and greater amberjack. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in wildlife-art and stamp-related contexts, including objects tied to specific published designs or competition years. The available source pack establishes his identity, dates, Iowa association, wildlife focus, and stamp-design record, but it does not provide a comprehensive catalogue of his work or a museum-level account of his career.

Common works and media

Public evidence most clearly supports wildlife images, especially ducks and other waterfowl, along with stamp designs. A second documented group is the 1972 Bermuda World Fishing Records series, whose subjects include bonefish, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, and greater amberjack. Reece's five Federal Duck Stamp competition wins identify another important group for cataloguing. This pack does not establish a complete inventory of paintings, drawings, prints, editions, or reproductions, so each object should be described according to its own physical format and markings.

Market and appraisal context

Reece's market context should be approached through the specific object and its documented relationship to his known wildlife and stamp-design work. In this source pack, the most supportable differentiators are subject matter—especially ducks, waterfowl, and fish—and a demonstrable connection to a named Federal Duck Stamp competition year or the 1972 Bermuda fishing-records issue. Appraisily's input indicates 126 auction records associated with the artist page, but the collected page response does not expose individual lots, realized prices, sale dates, dimensions, condition, provenance, or edition details. Those records must be reviewed directly before drawing comparisons. No price trend, premium, scarcity claim, or forward valuation can be supported from this pack alone.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Wildlife art
  • Waterfowl and duck subjects
  • Federal Duck Stamp-related art and collectibles
  • Postage stamps and stamp designs

Value drivers

  1. Subject matter, including whether the image depicts ducks, other waterfowl, fish, or another wildlife subject
  2. Documented connection to a specific Federal Duck Stamp competition-winning year
  3. Documented correspondence with a named stamp design or issue, such as the 1972 Bermuda World Fishing Records series

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected Appraisily page did not return readable lot-level data, so the source pack cannot substantiate realized-price ranges, price trends, or premiums.
  • The supplied count of 126 associated auction records is an input signal rather than a reviewed set of comparable sales.
  • The source pack does not establish a comprehensive catalogue of Reece's media, editions, signatures, or production history.
