Freeman’s | Hindman Rebrands as Freeman’s

Auction house Freeman’s | Hindman has rebranded  the company under the name Freeman’s timed to coincide with the 220th anniversary of its founding in November 1805 when Tristram B. Freeman was appointed auctioneer for the City of Philadelphia by the governor of Pennsylvania.
 
The Freeman’s brand brings together the Philadelphia auction house with the legacy of Hindman Auctions in Chicago and Cowan’s Auctions in Cincinnati. The three entities merged operations in 2024 and now have locations in 16 U.S. cities. Freeman’s hosts 140 auctions each year across 52 collecting categories. 

“Our focused strategy on the resilient ‘middle market’ in the auction sector has enabled our company to move from strength to strength in 2025, even as the top end of the market contracted at the global level,” said Alyssa D. Quinlan, CEO. “As we rebrand the company to Freeman’s, we recognize the expertise, regional leadership, and trusted relationships that have contributed to our collective success to date, and will continue to guide our brand’s mission and values as we enter this new era.”
