Here’s your chance to own a piece of Old Mission History. Members of the Old Mission Peninsula Historical Society and Peter Dougherty Society are hosting a mammoth sale this weekend.

The sale will take place on Friday, Sept. 7, and Saturday, Sept. 8, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the Dougherty House, 18459 Mission Road on the Old Mission Peninsula.

Old Mission Gazette is Reader Supported.

The event will feature a wide assortment of excess and donated antiques, primitives and collectibles from the historic Peter Dougherty House, built in the 1840s and lovingly restored by volunteers over many years. Many of these items are being sold because they do not fit the time period for the Dougherty House setting or because they’re duplicates.

The sale also includes some very unique items. Susan Feiger, longtime OMP resident and owner of Old Barn Antiques with her husband Walt, is helping to organize and price the sale items.

“Getting ready for the sale, I was sifting through some old tarnished silverware,” she said. “I was surprised and shocked to find an extremely early handmade solid silver serving spoon!”

Susan said the maker’s mark on the back indicates that it was made somewhere between 1787 and 1823. “It has engraved initials of “M F” on the tip of the handle, and it’s known as ‘Coin Silver,'” she said.

Below is a sample of other items you’ll find at the sale. For more info, call Susan Feiger, (231) 883-1777.

A NOTE FROM JANE: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper. Because the Gazette is mainly reader-supported, I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks my way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. Check out the donation page here. Thank you so much for your support. -jb
