Cape Ann Auction

Cape Ann Auction is a family-run business in Gloucester, Massachusetts, founded in 2010 by Walt Kolenda, who has worked in the trade since 1979. The company runs on-site and online auctions for estate contents and business liquidations, and it also provides certified appraisals and estate liquidation. Its services cover the process from the first assessment and cataloguing through promotion, auction day, cleanout and final payment.

The company may buy select items outright, focusing on Cape Ann art, estate jewellery, maritime antiques, sterling silver, U.S. coin collections, and pre-1980 sports cards and comic books. It does not currently process most traditional antique furniture, porcelain, glass and China of moderate value. Cape Ann Auction serves New England.
