The private collection of antique painted furniture which belonged to the late Margaret Brockway (Peg) Ofslager, a long-time Wiscasset antiques dealer, will be included in the Lincoln Home Founders Day Auction to be held on Wednesday, August 6.

Approximately 75 pieces from this marvelous private collection that graced her summer home in Cundy's Harbor for many years were consigned to the Lincoln Home Founders Day Auction by her nieces. The consignment was made in recognition of Mrs. Ofslager's participation in the Founders Day Auction for more than 25 years.

Included in the collection are an intricately hand painted chest, a beadboard cabinet, tables, chairs, lamps, and some paintings of ships.

Mary Hodes, a retired Newcastle antiques dealer and current resident of the Lincoln Home, spent an hour happily admiring some of the pieces to be included in the Founders Day auction.
