The next two weeks showcase a surge of rare items hitting the block, with most sales wrapping up before the end of November. On the evening of October 28, Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood will close a rare book sale featuring first‑edition literary works and historic manuscripts, while the same day Dawson’s auction house releases a batch of rare Star Wars toys and action figures that have been stored in climate‑controlled vaults. The following morning, Todd’s Auctions in Western Australia adds a rare collection of carnivorous and tropical plants to its general sale, drawing horticulture enthusiasts from across the continent.
Also on October 29, HJ Pugh & Co. begins a series of equipment sales, starting with rare tractors and farm machinery, and later that day Dawson presents a sculptural piece titled “Flying Lady,” a rare mid‑century metal work that has attracted design fans worldwide. October 30 sees three parallel events: B&B Auction Co. in Great Bend lists rare classic vehicles ranging from vintage pickups to early‑era sedans; James D. Julia Auctioneers offers a lot of rare toys, including a limited‑run video‑game console; and Atterberry Auction & Realty puts a rare lake‑view home on the line, complete with original hardwood floors and period fixtures.
November 1 continues the momentum with another B&B vehicle lot and a rare set of historic firearms slated for a private viewing. On November 2, Bearnes runs a timed sale of rare ceramics, studio‑crafted pottery, and hand‑painted porcelain, while the Potteries Specialist Auctions host a Rare Ceramics, Jewellery & Collectables event on November 7‑8, highlighting rare earthenware from the 19th century. Mid‑month, HJ Pugh’s November 6 woodworking‑machinery sale brings rare lathes and planers to the market, and the same day Atterberry lists a rare commercial shop and office space on three acres of land.
The weekend of November 15‑16, Guyette & Deeter’s decoy and sporting‑art auction presents rare hand‑carved waterfowl decoys that have become prized by niche hobbyists. November 17, Bearnes offers a single‑owner studio pottery collection, showcasing rare glaze techniques rarely seen since the early. Closing the month, Bertoia’s November 21‑22 online auction features rare mechanical toys, tin trains, and robot‑themed figures, while HJ Pugh’s November 22 vintage‑motorcycle sale brings rare British and Japanese two‑stroke machines to serious riders.
Looking ahead to December, Stockholms Auktionsverk’s December 8 Rare Books, Maps & Manuscripts sale will present rare cartographic prints and historic travel diaries, underscoring a documentary heritage. Across these events, the dominant trend is a blend of historic objects—rare clocks, music boxes, maps, books, ceramics, toys, and classic vehicles—paired with increasingly digital catalogues and live‑streamed viewings, allowing global enthusiasts to compete for prized pieces without leaving their homes.
