A unique specialty auction drawing collectors, hobbyists, and tool buyers from across the region is set for tomorrow, Saturday, July 12th, at the Harbert Antique Mall. Rivich Auction, a well-established estate and personal property auction firm, will host a live and partially online event featuring vintage and new fishing equipment, hunting items, and tools.
The auction begins at 11 a.m. with in-person bidding required for most lots, though select items will be available through online platforms. The sale includes collectible fishing lures, tool chests, vintage tackle boxes, duck decoys, and other related items with appeal to both recreational buyers and serious collectors.
Rivich Auction has operated since 1998, with locations in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. The firm specializes in the liquidation of estates, private collections, and personal property, and regularly manages sales for clients across the country. The company has a 98% sell-through rate and markets its auctions to a national and international base of bidders through multiple platforms.
Saturday’s auction is being held at the Harbert Antique Mall, located at 13887 Red Arrow Highway in Harbert, just north of New Buffalo. The antique mall has become a key stop along the Red Arrow Highway corridor, known for curated vintage design and attracting both seasonal tourists and year-round buyers.
While the auction event itself is expected to draw considerable foot traffic, it also highlights the growing role of specialty auctions in Southwest Michigan’s economy — particularly as older homeowners downsize and estates require expert handling. Rivich offers consultation services, appraisals, and complete estate sale planning, with a team of professionals managing everything from cataloging to shipping.
