EPPING, N.H. — Spanning March 13-15, Devin Moisan Auctioneers conducted its 30th Anniversary Antiques Auction, in which more than 1,200 lots were offered, sourced from two Brookline, Mass., estates; a North Shore, Mass., collection; a Meredith, N.H., estate; and a Newport, R.I., home. The final session saw the highest price of the three-day auction, when a pair of 14K yellow gold mint julep trophy cups of presidential interest sold for $46,080, including buyer’s premium. The first cup was engraved “Keeneland / The Alcibiades Stakes / 1961 / Journalette” and was marked “DDE” for President Dwight D. Eisenhower, while the second was engraved “Keeneland / The Phoenix Handicap / Kentucky” and was marked “JFK.” Both were stamped “Mark J. Scearce / Shelbyville / Kentucky,” after their maker. Additional highlights from all three days of the sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
