BANGOR, PENN. — Hartzell’s Auction Gallery is proud to be celebrating its 80th anniversary in the auction business. The auction gallery has been family owned and operated since 1943. According to John and Karen Hartzell, four generations of the Hartzell family have been serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York with dedication, integrity and a vast knowledge of the antiques market.

Great-grandfather Melvin Hartzell began the auction business onsite at the Jacktown Grove in 1943, (currently where the Blue Mountain Antique Gas & Steam Engine conduct their shows and flea market), eventually moving to the current location at 521 Richmond Road in Bangor. The structure, which originally served as a chicken coop, was renovated and the building added on to as the business grew in popularity. The current building setup is large enough to accommodate multiple auctions at the same time as well as storing future inventory for sale.

Currently, Hartzell’s Auction is managed and run by four members of the family with additional support staff. The auction gallery has conducted thousands of onsite, in-house, online and specialty auctions. From Americana to Orientalia to farm machinery, the auction staff is equipped to catalog, photograph, display, sell and ship the items to their new owners. With the addition of online bidding platforms, the auction house is able to achieve and exceed current market prices by exposing items to the entire United States and the world. Items have been purchased by bidders from coast to coast as well as Australia, England, Mexico, Germany and Japan, to name a few.

John Hartzell expressed some surprise at the variety of bidders that register online. “You just never know where an item removed from an attic in rural Pennsylvania may end up,” he said, noting that an unusual electric brass blade fan was sold to a buyer in Thailand. “The internet and its auction platforms have opened the world up to buying, it certainly is a game-changer.”

The staff enjoys conducting in-person auctions in the gallery. “It’s great to see familiar faces and chat with customers you haven’t seen in a while,” said Karen Hartzell. “They get to see and hold items in-person, which can be an advantage to only seeing photos of an item.”

In celebration of the firm’s anniversary, Hartzell’s Auction is planning three auctions for the month of November. On Friday, November 3, there will be an antique gun auction, followed by a country and Americana auction on Saturday, November 4. The final November auction will be on Friday, November 17, featuring a collection of self-taught and Outsider art with tramp art and folk art. These auctions will all be conducted live in the gallery as well as on the internet with bidding facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com.

Hartzell’s Auction Gallery is at 521 Richmond Road. For more information, 610-588-5831 or www.hartzellsauction.com.
