Moxie’s History Told Through Treasures Sale

Nothing ordinary about this one-of-a-kind sale! The heir of an early local grocer has spent a lifetime collecting local northern Michigan historical items like nothing we have ever encountered. 
NOTE- We have had several comments requesting we donate items to local organizations.  Our client has generously given MANY items to historical societies and organizations before the sale. We have been hired to sell the rest of this collection to benefit their long term care.  Items are not ours to give away, but you certainly may purchase and donate as you wish.
