HESS’S DEPARTMENT STORE COLLECTIBLES, ANTIQUES & MORE!
Online Auction • 7 PM Thursday, October 8, 2026
For generations of Lehigh Valley residents, Hess’s Department Store in Allentown was more than just a place to shop — it was a local institution. This auction features a fascinating collection of original Hess’s memorabilia and collectibles, offering a nostalgic look back at one of Allentown’s most memorable landmarks.
The Hess’s collection includes vintage memorabilia, employee uniforms, advertising and promotional pieces, Flower Show photographs, an original Santa suit, and other unusual items connected to the legendary department store. For Hess’s collectors and anyone who remembers the store, this is a collection worth exploring!
And there’s much more!
Additional highlights include signed stoneware pottery, quilts and textiles, slag glass Hen-on-Nest pieces, Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grøndahl ceramics, Christmas collectibles, nutcrackers, antiques, decorative items and wristwatches.
Watch collectors will want to check out an Omega Seamaster along with a collectible Chroma digital LCD wristwatch, a distinctive futuristic design often associated by collectors with the Blade Runner style.
From Allentown and Hess’s nostalgia to stoneware, watches, quilts, holiday collectibles and antiques, this is one of those auctions where you never know what you’ll discover in the next lot!
