Five outstanding and specific collections will come up for bid, totaling more than 300 lots, all of which will be sold without reserves (to the highest bidder, regardless of final price), and all bidding starts at just one dollar. Collectors in the following categories need to mark their calendars. A chance like this might not come again to add to their collections. Here they are:
  • Circus Posters. Around 30 rare and vintage circus posters will cross the auction block, mostly from the 1930s and '40s. These include full sheet, half-sheet, double sheet and triple sheet posters, featuring more than one of the famous Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Mr. and Mrs. Gargantua the Great "gorilla" poster (one a triple-sheet).
  • World War I posters. There are about 20 of these, in varying degrees of condition.
  • Railway and Trolley Items. This collection has an emphasis on buttons and badges, and will really appeal to 'vecturists' (collectors of rail tokens). Included in the collection are uniform buttons, hats, clothing items, badges, photos and postcards – a collector's dream.
  • Local Postcards. Multiple offerings of well-known local postcard collectors will all converge, with a heavy emphasis on Haverhill, Mass. and Essex County, but with other Massachusetts towns included. There are hundreds of postcards, some of them mounted and framed. Also offered are other memorabilia, to include an 1832 map of Haverhill.
  • Antique and Vintage Padlocks. Many people may be surprised to learn that padlocks, are a category of collectible, but they are, and this lifetime collection of around 50 padlocks (many with keys) contains mostly 19th century examples, but with some dating to the 18th century and some from the 20th century. Some padlocks boast fine brass work.
