The Robert & Janice Weekes Collection

The Robert & Janice Weekes Collection

Premier Auction 167, opened September 3rd, 2018, included selections from the glass collection of Robert and Janice Weekes of Fox Call Farm in southern New Hampshire. Having spent a successful career in the advertising business in New York City, Bob and his wife moved to New Hampshire and purchased a historic pre-Revolutionary cape in the Monadnock region.

Needing more room to entertain family and friends, and also to display their collections of Americana and historical glass, Bob designed and built as a retirement project a most unique guest house on the property. Built around a restored circa 1790 post and beam barn frame, its room included a replica of an 1850s tavern complete with period furnishings and cage bar where his glass collection could be properly showcased.

Now, 25 years later, they are in the process of downsizing as they prepare to move to smaller quarters. They’ll miss their tavern but earnestly hope others can now enjoy the fruits of their collecting years.
