With support from our auctioneer partners, Pook &amp; Pook, these auctions are a great opportunity to release some very interesting items,\u201d Garrity said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Anyone interested in registering or viewing the unclaimed property available this week can visit the Pook and Pook <a href=\"https:\/\/pookandpook.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:website;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Pennsylvania Treasury searches for the owners of each item for at least three years before auctioning them off. They added that military decorations and memorabilia are never auctioned off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cOur team works diligently to identify the owners of unclaimed property and return it to them, but sometimes, we must make room for incoming items in our vault by auctioning items. The proceeds from any item sold remain available for a rightful owner to claim, no matter how much time passes,\u201d Garrity said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The treasury says it has returned more than $1 billion in unclaimed property since 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
