We were contacted on May 6, 2012 by a wonderful couple, Margaretand Joe who reside on the west coast of the United States. They first wrote to inquire about sellingtheir collection of TEN, that’s right, ten Duff Tweed carvings. We were thrilled to find another collector ofDuff Tweed carvings who had actually put together a full collection ofcarvings, three of which we have never seen before.
From what we gathered from our conversation with Joe and Margaret,was that they had purchased all ten carvings directly from Duff in the late1970’s. Joe had a diesel engine shopwhere he built diesel engines for automobiles.
One day this man appears, sharing his association withDisney and walks in with ten unique carvings. That man was Duff Tweed and he had all these carvings stored in his carand was making sales trips to find interested buyers. This is how Duff sold most of his carvingsand we have had this verified by many other Duff Tweed carving owners.
Joe took one look at the carvings and purchased all tendirectly from Duff. We asked Joe if hecould share any particulars, but it was a long time ago and he recalled Duffwalking in, displaying the carvings, selling them and then driving off on hismerry way.
We had actually made a deal with Margaret and Joe topurchase all ten carvings, but quite understandably they decided to hold ontothem for a while longer. There were onlythree that were of particular interest to us, as we do not yet have them in ourcollection. Below are all ten carvingsfrom pictures sent by Margaret and Joe. Some were smaller, so I attempted to crop them, make them larger andhopefully clearer.
The first picture to the left is a trio of Duff Tweedcarvings.The first one pictured isnamed “Our Fearless Leader”, one of the three carvings we do not have in thecollection. Then we have the ever so familiar “Sue the Bastards” and “WallStreet Hobo”.

Next we have Duff Tweed’s fisherman. We only recentlyacquired our carving of the fisherman and absolutely love it.Makes you want to go fishing, doesn’t it?If not, then you can just get in the boat anddrink. Hehe.
To the left is the Duff Tweed carving we named The Laughing Golfer.We have two in our collection, but this is the first time we have seen the carving elsewhere.As far as we can tell, Duff did more carvings of golfers and hobos than any other topic.We are aware of over 14 different golfer carvings made by Mr. Tweed.

Speaking of Duff’s Hobos, here are two of them. The one onthe lower left is Duff’s “The Low Bidder” which we own several of in differentpainted patches and colors.The secondcarving to the lower right is a hobo resting on a post.This second carving is not yet a part of theDuff Tweed collection, but we have a friend who was going to sell it tous.Time will tell.We’d love to add the one below to the collection. He's a happy guy!
Below we have a set of three Poker Players by DuffTweed. We absolutely love this set of carvings and are aware of four in existence. We have two sets of this carvingin our collection, but the color of the paint does differ on some characters.Joe and Margaret have a nice clean set ofthree.We have always loved thiscarving and over payed for our first set.Note the expression on eachcarvings face.Did you catch the guy inthe middle cheating by reaching under the table to get more cards?His face tells the entire story.
Last but not least, we have Duff Tweed’s tennisplayers. The picture to the left belowis of a carving we do not have. Thecarving is of a tennis player poised to receive his next serve. We have never seen this carving before andthink he pairs wonderfully with the tennis player below and to the right. The second tennis player which is also reallyneat, is a member of the collection twice.

We believe they were surprisedby the lower values presently attributed to Duff’s carvings.We do look forward to picking up some oftheir pieces in the future, but knowing they own and are enjoying theirwonderful collection is the best reward ever.
It is the collective group of Duff Tweed carvings owners that trulycontribute to the future value of these priceless pieces of vintage art andculture.What we appreciate most aboutour fellow collectors is that they have these carvings purely for their loveand appreciation of Mr. Tweeds work, and not for the dollar value they willhave in the future.Duff Tweed collectors, you are a special breed, apart from therest!
