Top Auction Prices Realized at Air Works Consignment Auction February 2025

Air Works has a large annual Spring auction that includes hundreds of pieces of cast iron in addition to a wide variety of other goods. The auction is held in Millersburg, Ohio. It features both online and in-person bidding over the course of several days.

I’ve made many other posts about large cast iron auctions including prices realized at cast iron auctions; take a look at the category “Auctions” to check some of them out. It’s educational to take a look at realized prices; it helps to get a good feel for what is a “reasonable” price when you see iron for sale.

This year, the Air Works auction was held on the weekend of February 14, 2025. Here are the top prices realized for vintage and antique cast iron cookware.¹ All information and the photos below are from the Air Works online catalog on Proxibid.
