The Kidd Family Auction Company

I was searching for "wind-up tin toys" on Liveauctioneers, when I came across some nice-looking toys. As it turned out, the toys were from a Canadian auction company right next to Quebec, where I live. The Kidd  Family Auctions company happens to be in Ontario. Needless to say, I wrote to them, and obtained permission to share their photos with you.

Their toy auction is coming up on June 19, 2020.

The Kidd family lives in Shelburne, Ontario, while I live in Montreal, Quebec.

It's about  a 6 1/2 hour drive from Montreal.

Our Story

Kidd Family Auctions is a business with a down home family feel. It’s owned and operated by Dennis Kidd. Dennis graduated from Southwestern Ontario School of Auctioneering in 1995. He was accredited by the CPPA to offer appraisal services. In the past 25 years Dennis has worked with many different auction companies at hundreds of sales.   IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 DENNIS WAS APPOINTED AS A DIRECTOR OF THE AUCTIONEERS ASSOCIATION OF ONTARIO!

In early 2015 Dennis formed Kidd Family Auctions. The staff team consists of three generations of Kidds and hand-picked, capable staff members. This is a photo of the original staff in 1995. The current team has tripled in size but the down home feel has never changed.

We have experience with a wide range of auctions stemming from our background in farming and extending to a variety of other industries. Kidd Family Auctions is partnered with iCollector, Wavebid, The Auction Advertiser, The Woodbridge Advertiser and the Auctioneers Association of Ontario.

Auctions are meant to be fun, exciting and entertaining. We invite you to come on out.  Have a coffee, have a laugh and bid, bid, bid!! You can have confidence in our focus on honesty and our desire to understand your specific situation as a bidder or a consignor. Dennis’ auction family is always growing. Let us treat you like family too.

If you're not interested in toys, you can always check out their other auction.

As you can see from above, there are always non-toy very 

interesting items that come to an auction!

It was interesting to see that you can find old toys almost anywhere you would go.

So the next time you're on vacation, and it's a rainy day,

why not ask a local person if there any antique stores or even an auction company.

Because you never know what you may find - ANYWHERE!

Thanks for dropping by,

and have a great part

of the day or night,

wherever you may be,
