Celebrating over 50 Years of Auctioneering

Gateway Gallery Auction Inc. is a family company known for our experience, honesty and in-depth knowledge of market conditions. Estate executors, collectors, dealers and every-day buyers trust us to deliver high quality, professional auction services. We work closely with consignors and collectors to offer unparalleled service in the sale of vintage, antiques, furniture, personal property & specialty collections. Our three-pronged approach of presentation, product knowledge and skillful marketing strategies backed by our team of experienced professionals, make Gateway an ideal environment for handling estates and collections.

Located on the I-81 corridor in south central Pennsylvania, Gateway typically runs 45 live, in-house auctions a year comprised of estates and downsizes, as well as specialty collections such as model trains, toys, coins, sports cards, firearms and more. Our team includes seasoned professionals dedicated to ensuring each auction is a success. From Heather Kohler, our Auctioneer and President, to Kay Kohler, our Founder and CFO, and John Kohler, our Founder, Auctioneer, and Vice President, each member brings a unique set of skills and expertise to the table.

John Kohler, Jr. founded Gateway Gallery Auction with his wife Kay in 1991. John's work over the past fifty years as a professional auctioneer and appraiser has earned him a deserved reputation as highly versatile antique generalist. While John has begun to transition from lead consignment specialist to an "of counsel" status; he continues to consult with clients to bring their collections to the marketplace while mentoring Heather in the oversight of daily operations. John continues to head the real estate division of the company. A graduate of Shippensburg University, John began his career as a young man, honing his skills under the guidance of experienced auctioneers.

Throughout our history, we've remained committed to providing exceptional service, transparency, and integrity in all our dealings. Our dedication to these values has earned us a reputation as one of the most trusted and respected auction houses in the region. Whether you're buying or selling, we're here to help you navigate the process with ease and confidence.
