Houston 24 | Bayou City Sunset Auction Info

Auction: Consignment Form

Please make plans to attend the Houston 24 Bayou City Sunset Auction on Saturday evening, 03 August 2024 at Hotel ZaZa (Grapevine and Room with a View – 11th Floor). We are excited to announce that Crowded House Auctions (Martin Van Zant and “Balsam” Bill Granger) are heading up this event for the FOHBC. There will be 100 pieces (+/-) in the auction that will be called live and be listed online for bidding approximately one week before the event.

We are looking for exciting consignment items to parallel the “uniqueness” of Houston 24. Think eclectic and outside the box…i.e., related glass art, ephemera, books, basket of items, minerals, advertising, dinosaur bone, stamps, coins, jewelry, etc. Things that are fun and you may not see elsewhere in all the similar antique bottle and glass auctions. If you ship piece(s) to Elizabeth, the FOHBC will waive the consignment cost which is a great deal saving you money! We can only do this because of our generous HMNS support and underwriting. See Consignment Form. A value of $250 and above for each item is suggested. We will need your item(s) shipped to Houston sooner rather than later so we can photograph, put in the printed catalog and the online catalog. The address is noted on the consignment form.
