October 18 Auction Results, Murano Glass Chickens, Wrigley’s Display & Upcoming November Sale

Sunday, October 25, 2026

Tune in to Jeffrey Burchard’s lively Antiques and Collectibles Show on WGL 860 AM as the veteran St. Petersburg auctioneer walks listeners through standout results from Burchard Galleries’ October 18 “Harvest of Treasure” auction. Highlights include a pair of signed Fulvio Bianconi Venini Murano glass chickens that soared to $2,100, a rare 1940s Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum advertising display figure that brought $1,400, a Roberto Matta etching at $5,500, a Napoleonic gilt-bronze mantel clock for $900, and a Roletto Junior coin-op slot machine at $3,250. Burchard also shares the fascinating history of Murano glass (relocated to the island in 1291 to protect Venice from fires and safeguard trade secrets), tips on photographing art for identification (front, signature, close-up, and reverse), and advice on the best venues for different types of collectibles. Looking ahead, he teases the November 14–15 two-day auction featuring a partial ice-cream parlor liquidation, advertising signs, soda-fountain syrup dispensers, a major jewelry estate, and more high-value consignments still being accepted. Callers and emailers get free on-air appraisals—including a unique nautical anchor-and-chain pedestal table—while Burchard reminds everyone that rarities and one-of-a-kind pieces routinely outperform expectations when shown to a worldwide audience via LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable.
