Abstract: A portable auctioneer's podium assembly movably supported on casters that may occupy either a first or second position, which assembly when in the first is defined by a vertically disposable elongate structure that supports a shelf on which the auctioneer may rest papers and the like, and an elevated platform rearwardly of the structure on which the auctioneer may stand to look down on a crowd to spot bidders. The platform is hingedly connected to the structure and may be pivoted into the latter when the assembly is disposed in a second position to occupy less space than in the first position to facilitate the transportation of the assembly from one auction site to another. Fastening means are provided to removably secure the platform in the second position.
