Thank you for your consideration about a GAVEL emoji. http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2015/15032r-pri286-fdbk-disp.pdf I welcome approved new emoji candidates : Emoji Additions Tranche 6 , they are useful, amusing and filling gaps in the current emoji repertoire.

There is currently no emoji that adequately symbolizes the concept of auction. One of major Japan’s portal sites adopts a Gavel as a user interface icon for auction service. http://www.yahoo.co.jp/ A Gavel emoji can fill in a gap in the emoji repertoire that includes Tranche 6.
