Personalised Auctioneer Gavel – Engraved Wooden Gavel and Sound Block Gift for Auctions

A working tool that carries weight

An auctioneer’s gavel is more than a piece of wood – it’s the tool that sets the pace, commands the room, and seals every deal. If you’re buying for an auctioneer, you’re giving them something they’ll use every single day, in the spotlight. This personalised gavel isn’t ornamental. It’s handcrafted from dense hardwoods, designed to take strike after strike, and engraved with the name or auction house that deserves to be remembered with every call.
