Selling militaria in Windsor
Windsor sits directly across the river from a much larger American city and is the country’s automotive town, with assembly and tooling work that has run for generations. It is the southernmost city in the country, which makes its summers genuinely hot by Canadian standards.
The automotive cycle moves this market as a whole rather than gradually — plant announcements change what is for sale within weeks. Tool and trade equipment is unusually good here because so much of the workforce is skilled.
Driving is the norm and the city is flat and easy to move around. The riverfront is the obvious landmark; border traffic can back up the approaches to the crossings, so avoid arranging anything near them at peak times.
Windsor, in Ontario, has around 230,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Windsor

Put in the description
- What the item is, its nation of origin and period

Steady to a dedicated collector audience year round, with lifts around major anniversaries. Correctly identified marked pieces sell quickly; generic unattributed items are slow.
