Our auctions offer the best way to market a complete collection in the most efficient way, while providing the most return for the consignor. We will be conducting five catalogued auctions and five listed sales during the current auction season. Four of the auctions will be conducted in tax-free Nashua, New Hampshire and four others in Indianapolis, Indiana. These auction venues have been traditional Spring and Fall gathering places for tool collectors for twenty years. Our Spring auctions will be held in March in Indianapolis, Incdiana, followed by our Spring Nashua sales in April. Our second Nashua Auction Weekend is held in September and our second Indianapolis Auction Weekend will be held in October.
