CUTLINES

Arthur Liverant unveils a clock, one of the “held back” items in his booth to be shown at 10 am on opening day.

 

Two former dealers enjoying the show, Bert Fendelman and Stephanie Wood.

 

Doug Jackman was responsible for the picture display in the lobby featuring early days of the New Hampshire Show.

 

“My wall bracket didn’t work,” Ed Weissman said as he looked for another place to put his large fish weathervane.

 

Gail Savage, left, visited the show and spent some time with her longtime friend, Pam Boynton.

 

New Hampshire Governor John Lynch and his wife, Dr Susan Lynch, visited the show, here in the company of dealer Hollis Brodrick.

 

Linda Tate, left, president of the New Hampshire Antique Dealers Association, and Gail Piatt, right, chairman of the show, flank Governor John Lynch and his wife, Susan. The governor got a firsthand look at the show just prior to its opening, and also visited with some of the people waiting in the lobby for the start of the show.

 

Ted Hayward of The Yankee Smuggler.

 

“Rugs are Us” is what Karen DeSaia says about the antiques business as she unrolls one of the pieces she has for sale.

 

Kevin Tulimieri tried a balancing act, that worked, while helping Arthur Liverant set up the booth.

 

Melvyn Wolf, left, well-known pewter dealer, finds time to confer with show floor manager Michael Sczerzen before the show opens.

 

“We always have a mirror so Paul can put on his tie,” Cheryl Scott said as Paul made final adjustments to his attire.

 

Barbara Pollack, with book in hand, describes an object in her booth to customers on Thursday.

 

No telling who this is from the angle of the shot. But a hint: she has one of only a few booths where this angle is possible, and she shares the location with a guy named Robert.

 

Lewis Scranton had a good show right from the start, finishing with a strong sale on Saturday afternoon.

 

It must be 10 am — In they come.

Ron Bourgeault arrived an hour before the show opened and attracted a group of dealers as he unpacked his goods. Assisting were Pan Boynton, Bob Withington, left, and Frank Blanchette.

 

Two of the dealers who did the show 50 years ago, Ron Bourgeault, left, and Howard Oedel, who hasn’t missed one. He is the only dealer to claim this honor.

 

A small wooden carved and painted horse was uncovered by Russ Goldberger as the show opened.

 

Sandy Jacobs, on her way to the storage area with packing boxes.

 

“Well, I will tell you all about it,” Tommy Thompson appears to be telling one of his customers. He, too, reported having an excellent show.

 

The annual group shot, but this time with the Governor of New Hampshire and his wife in the front row.

 

By 9:30 am, the large lobby area was filled and people were out on the sidewalk.
