Kramer & Kramer Inc.


In 1993, Kramer & Kramer Auctioneers was commissioned by a private gun dealer to liquidate over 750 firearms. Since the auction could not logistically take place in his residential neighborhood, H. John Kramer obtained a Federal Firearms License. This permitted the firearms to be sold at the Preble County Fairgrounds in Eaton, Ohio, which provided a secured building, plenty of parking, a spacious 10,000 square feet building and most of all, privacy as to the owner and location of the firearms prior to the auction. Kramer & Kramer has transformed those three auctions into our Annual Firearm Auction, held in February each year. We are equipped to sell 250 firearms in about five hours, prepare all federal paperwork and execute the background check on purchasers, known as "NICS." A mammoth task, which usually takes 18 people on staff for auction day, plus a security system.
Our annual auction mostly consists of many small collectors, and interesting enough, many widows whose husbands have left them with a collection of 2, 22 or 102 firearms. Kramer & Kramer can handle all requests and eras of firearms. Our past history has shown this! Kramer & Kramer has sold over 2,500 firearms at auction, plus many hundreds of firearms at casual auctions throughout the year.
The Kramer & Kramer Firearm mailing list is proven effective and is a result of those collectible firearm auctions.
