Auctioneer’s Note: I typically have no problem writing an auctioneer’s note for the many ads I have done over the years. At 58 years of age, I sit here with a loss for words to describe this unique Americana collection of Janis Blouin.
Janis is an old fashioned North Shore Picker. No computers, cell phones, technology in her life, up until her recent years, she has never missed any kind of local auction, estate, yard sale or flea market in her back yard. I conducted my first auction in my late teens, I remember in the audience seeing Janis and Aime, her late husband, in attendance for over 38 years. It is easy to see her love for country and primitives by the selection of items she amassed. We at John McInnis Auctioneers are truly honored and proud to showcase her life as a collector with this sale.
Please plan to join us at any time during this three day sale in beautiful Historic Exeter NH.
A true old-fashioned, single-owner, Summer antique event in New Hampshire!
