Since
1993, Tradewinds has produced a superior quality printed
catalog for each of our live auctions (left panel:
an example cover). Our catalogs contain detailed descriptions
and important information on each lot (right panel,
an example interior page). Since 2000, they have featured
full-color studio-shot digital photography. Our catalogs
are approximately 200 pages long and typically contain
over 450 photos. In addition to being a great resource
for upcoming sales, our catalogs from past sales are
important references for cane enthusiasts and have
themselves become collector's items.

conducted the first-ever internet auction dedicated
entirely to antique walking sticks. Since then, we
hold three internet-only auctions annually using our
own website auction facility. Our internet auctions
are in February and July of each year. Each consists
of 20-30 lots with offerings for all levels of cane
collectors. Additionally, we hold a special holiday
internet sale in December where a select offering
of the highest quality antique canes is presented
for sale.
To bid in a Tradewinds
