About Us
In 1945: George Jones, Sr (George Jones' dad) was the Manager, and eventual owner, of a 200 acre Dairy farm in Goffstown, NH. He sees the potential for dealing in Antiques when he allowed his customers to pay their milk bills with items found around the house and barn. He guides his son, George Jones, Jr as he develops an uncanny ability to deal in the Antiques market.
In 1983: George Jones, Jr and Patty Horan get married. Patty quits her teaching job, gets her Auctioneer's license, and the Jones & Horan Auction Team is formed. The new auction house enjoys immediate success based upon the established honest reputation of the Jones family, and their contacts within the farming community.
In 1985: Tim Decker, a long time friend and founding Auction Team member, finds a customer who wants to consign vintage watches to a Jones and Horan auction. Soon after, Patty diverts all the company's resources into developing a specialty market for Horological items.
In 1987: Marc Bourque, owner of Super-Systems, joins the Team as a computer consultant. He develops a clerking system for Jones and Horan that is reproduced and sold all over the country. He guides us as we launch one of New England's first websites onto the fledgling Internet.
In 1995: Frank Davis joins the Team as Property Developer, and restores an old barn into a comfortable, efficient office. Nowadays, he heads Inventory Control and is a well-loved consultant on just about everything!
In 1999: Daniel Horan (Patty's nephew) joins the Auction Team on a part-time basis while attending college. In 2001 he graduates from the University of New Hampshire at the top of his class with a BS in Chemical Engineering, and becomes the General Manager of Jones and Horan Auction Team.
In 2006: Gross Sales exceed 2 1/2 million dollars.
