William Smith Auctions

Auctioneers and Appraisers of fine arts and antiques since 1961.  

In the spring of 1962 Bill Smith and his wife Merilyn, Hillsboro N.H. natives, held their first auction: the Estate of Silas Row. The auction was held on the grounds of the estate, and was a great success. The business grew over the years and in 1971 Bill held what was proclaimed as the "auction of the century": The Estate of James Cambell Lewis. That auction set records and gave the William Smith firm national recognition.

Our auction firm conducts on the average of 45 auctions per year. We hold five major annual auctions: Labor Day, Memorial Day, a Thanksgiving holiday sale, a New Years holiday sale, and a mid winter sale. Our other auctions consist of "on site" estate auctions. These auctions are conducted from May to October.
