Vintage Treasures Flood Holiday Auctions as Year Ends
Vintage auction hero banner

The holiday season is seeing a surge of vintage-focused sales, with a string of timed and live events wrapping up in rapid succession. The earliest deadline arrives, when Kuhlman Auction Service wraps its moving sale in Northfield, Minnesota. Bidders can snap up vintage records, a lacquered Korean chest, and a Bach trumpet, alongside household staples such as a Whirlpool washer and dryer. Just a week later, on December 26, Kuhlman’s second moving sale in Waterford, Minnesota, repeats the formula, again featuring vintage records and a range of retro furnishings.

Mid‑month, the spotlight shifts to classic arcade entertainment. Elephant House Auctions schedules a Sunday auction on December 28 that showcases roughly 100 vintage arcade machines and slot machines, offering collectors a rare chance to acquire functional pieces of gaming history.

Following the arcade event, the market’s vintage appetite broadens with a dedicated toy and advertising memorabilia sale hosted by Kidd Family Auctions. Though the exact closing day is not specified, the preview runs later this month, and the auction will feature an eclectic mix of vintage toys, retro advertising signs, and collectible memorabilia—perfect for holiday gifting or building a nostalgic collection.

These auctions illustrate a clear trend: sellers and auction houses are capitalising on the seasonal buying frenzy by highlighting vintage items that evoke nostalgia and cultural memory. From analog music formats to mechanical gaming cabinets and classic promotional ephemera, the offerings cater to collectors seeking tangible links to past eras. The staggered end dates—from mid‑December moving sales to late‑December arcade and toy events—ensure a steady flow of vintage opportunities for bidders throughout the holiday shopping window.
