ZOAR, OHIO — Jo Louise Brown was a long-time fixture in Historic Zoar village and her collection — which Meander Auctions sold on-site on Saturday, June 28 — attracted bidders from Ohio and beyond. An Ohio couple, who company president and auctioneer Andrew Richmond said were “serious Ohio collectors” were “present in the heat” to win, for $30,600, including buyer’s premium, a paint-decorated blanket chest attributed to the Long family of Liberty Township of Hardin County, circa 1840-50. The chest was one of about a half-dozen known examples associated with the Long family; it achieved the top price in the 222-lot auction, during which all lots sold. Watch for an upcoming review in a forthcoming issue.
