History

Established in 1967.

Originally an Antique Business, The Cobbs Antiques was established in 1967 in Ridgewood, N.J. by Charlie and Dudley Cobb.

In 1980 the Cobbs purchased 76 Grove Street in downtown Peterborough NH to house their growing Business and while at this location began holding Auctions. In 1987 they formally became the Cobbs Auctioneers and were joined a few years later by their son Bruce Cobb. The Cobbs purchased their 3^rd historic and largest building (Noone Falls Mill) in 1998 to move the auction business. Noone Falls has the distinction and space required for further expansion of the business. By 1999 the Cobbs were strictly conducting Auctions and no longer buying or selling antiques which they saw as a conflict of interest. The Auction house is owned and operated by the founders/​partners as well as numerous extended family members and dedicated employees.
