Rare auction hero banner

The week ahead sees a flurry of rare auctions winding down, beginning with Veiling's two-part coin and medal sale—first lot on September 9 and the second on September 10—offering collectors a chance to snap up historic currency and medals. By September 11, three Waddington's sales close simultaneously: an estate jewellery lot, a discovery art collection, and a First Nations art offering, each showcasing rare pieces ranging from finely crafted jewellery to culturally significant artworks. That same day Morphy Auctions concludes its firearms and militaria event, presenting rare early‑19th‑century pistols and other historic arms.

Mid‑month, Waddington's fine spirits and fine wine auctions end on September 16, delivering rare bottles of Japanese whisky and a vertical of premium Bordeaux, while the discover Inuit art sale wraps up on September 18 with rare carvings and prints. Owens Auctions Dallas follows on September 19, featuring a rare early‑19th‑century Duncan Phyfe sofa and other distinguished furnishings.

Cottone Auctions' September 25 sale adds a rare Andrew Wyeth painting and a rare Walter H. Durfee banjo clock to the mix, underscoring a trend toward high‑profile fine art and horological pieces. Morphy's automotive memorabilia auction ends on October 5, highlighting rare classic cars and related memorabilia, and its coin‑op and advertising sale closes on October 18 with rare arcade machines and vintage signage.

Late October sees Morphy's fishing‑lure collection and Tom Sage toy collection close on the 25th and 30th respectively, each offering rare niche items that appeal to specialist collectors. Waddington's fine spirits and wine sales, already concluded, set a precedent for premium beverage offerings, while Morphy's November 13 toy auction and December 11 decorative‑arts sale demonstrate the market’s appetite for rare toys and ornamental objects. The year caps with Morphy's final firearms and militaria auction on December 18, rounding out a season where rare firearms, rare coins, rare books, rare whisky, rare automobiles, rare stamps, and rare decorative arts dominate the auction floor, reflecting a broadening collector base and a steady demand for unique, high‑value items.
