The 50th Annual Spring Benefit Auction, HCA’s largest annual fundraiser in support of the National Heisey Glass Museum, will be held at the GMP Local #244 Union Hall at 350 Hudson Ave., Newark, OH. We have set the dates – April 7, 12-13, 2024. Mark your calendar and save the dates! 

The 2024 Spring Benefit Auction Contract and the 2024 Consignor Glass List are on this webpage. They can be downloaded and printed for your use.  As before, each HCA member and household member can donate any amount of Heisey glassware and can consign up to forty (40) lots each. There is no limit to the number of items in a lot and we are encouraging consignors to size each lot so it is valued at more than $25.00. The Auction Committee reserves the right to modify lots. Please note items consigned or donated for sale must have been made by the A.H. Heisey and Company. Reproductions will not be accepted, except those made from original Heisey moulds or as commissioned by HCA.  Glass not made from Heisey moulds will not be sold and will be returned at the consignor’s expense or accepted as a donation to HCA. 

Please read the auction contract carefully for, once signed, it is an agreement between you and HCA. Please use the glass list to list items and group them into lots. Each box should have its own glass list. Remember to put a “D” beside the lot number(s) on the glass list for those lots you wish to donate to HCA. Please be certain the glass list includes ALL of your items and that you fill in each line completely – Pattern #/Name, description, cut/etch, color, if marked, glass condition, and quantity. Complete two copies of the auction contract and sign and date each copy. Place the contracts, along with two complete sets of glass lists, in your first box of glass. We will return one signed copy to you. Those who donate glass will be sent a donation slip after the auction. 

The success of the auction depends on the quality and quantity of glass consigned and donated. We are requesting that you send only GOOD, DAMAGE FREE GLASS. Our auction team will be rejecting damaged, chipped, scratched and cloudy pieces with the goal of improving the quality of glass at our auctions. Please look through your Heisey and donate and/or consign to help support YOUR Museum. Consignments and donations for the Auction must be received at the Museum by Saturday, December 30, 2023.
