Shreveport, Louisiana – A significant four-part auction event is set to commence on Monday, September 8, 2025, at 8 a.m. The auction features a wide variety of items from the estate of the late Robert Creamer, the owner of the Creamer Furniture Company, which has been providing home furnishings and household goods to the northwest Louisiana area since 1967.
This extensive auction includes not only assets from the Creamer Furniture store but also personal belongings and collections amassed by Creamer over a span of 50 years. Items available for bid encompass vehicles, antiques, tractors, fork lifts, and various pieces of equipment, attracting a wide audience of potential buyers.
The auction will take place in a 90,000 square-foot facility, characterized as a “picker’s dream,” filled with vintage cars and numerous storage trailers brimming with assorted items. The auction is structured into four segments over 70 days: it begins with a live onsite sale, followed by three online auctions.
The first part of the auction is a live, onsite sale scheduled to feature warehouse items and finds from the storage lot. This kicks off the series, after which an online auction starts on September 9, 2025, at 1 p.m. This auction will include contents from the storage trailers and various vehicles. Following that, a second online auction is set for October 9, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., showcasing new and used furniture and other assets from the Creamer Furniture store. The final auction, taking place on October 27, 2025, at 1 p.m., will offer remaining items and real estate, providing additional opportunities for bidders.
Interested bidders can view the auction offerings at the website provided by the Lawler Auction Company, which is conducting the auction. A 15% buyer’s premium will be applied to all sales. Robert Creamer was well-known for his practice of purchasing storage unit auction lots and accumulating a wide range of collectibles, which makes the auction a unique opportunity for hidden gems.
While many treasures are expected to be discovered, bidders should be aware of potential hazards, such as wasps residing in some trailers. As such, strict auction rules will be in place for those interested in inspecting or bidding on items stored in trailers. Auctioneer Danny Lawler indicated that cataloging all items was impractical, given the sheer volume, but emphasized the comprehensive nature of the auction process.
Additionally, attendees can enjoy food trucks on-site during the live event, turning the auction into a festive occasion. The items being auctioned range from valuable collectibles to less desirable items, such as old washing machines, further appealing to a diverse bidder audience.
In summary, this auction provides a rare chance to uncover hidden treasures accumulated over decades, driven by the vibrant legacy of Robert Creamer and his business.
