An extraordinary estate nearly three centuries in the making! Ever since John Mack emigrated from Londonderry, Ireland to Londonderry, New Hampshire in 1732, the Mack Family has been an essential part of the history and culture of the town—both as civic leaders and, most famously, as proprietors of Moose Hill Orchards (better known as Mack's Apples). Long the oldest continuously family-run farm in New Hampshire—eight generations—the farm was sold in 2021 and continues to operate under new ownership. Even with the sale of the orchard, the sprawling white farmhouse on Mammoth Road remained in the family—until now. As the storied homestead passes to a new owner following the death of Andy Mack, Sr., we are pleased to offer a remarkable trove of Mack Family artifacts dating as far back as the 18th century. A virtual time capsule, the nearly 300 offerings range from humble but beautifully handmade objects that were essential to the operation of a busy household to exotic treasures gathered by family members during far-flung adventures. In addition to a wide range of primitives and utilitarian objects, the auction includes country and "fancy" furniture; folk art; decorative items; early advertising; pottery and glass; coins and medals; antique and vintage clothing; ephemera; historical items; weapons; and militaria spanning from the Revolutionary War through World War II, including a group of uniforms and equipment owned by Rear Admiral A. R. Mack, awarded the Silver Star by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1943. An unparalleled opportunity for collectors, dealers, and history buffs—all offered with no minimum and no reserve! (A second auction of books, documents, and ephemera is planned for a later date.)
