as-is:
Buyer acknowledges that they had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine the condition, size, repair or restoration of any Property. Therefore, all property is sold “AS-IS”. Auctioneer is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Auctioneer makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property.
Auctioneer in her sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any Property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer.
Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed and online catalogue. Auctioneer reserves the right to modify the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, she may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.
The highest bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall be the buyer. The Auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at her absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Auctioneer’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects.
Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the Auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Auctioneer may require.
No lot may be removed from Auctioneer’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Auctioneer shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at her/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Auctioneer, or sent by Auctioneer to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Auctioneer may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales.

Auctioneer will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Auctioneer’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Auctioneer and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Auctioneer, at her option, may either cancel the sale,
retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Auctioneer’s commission at her standard rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Auctioneer. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Auctioneer’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Auctioneer a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Auctioneer’s possession, and Auctioneer may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Ohio Uniform Commercial Code.
Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Auctioneer may implement such reserves by bidding through her representatives on behalf of the Consignor. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Auctioneer or her representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Auctioneer, Auctioneer may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest.
No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Auctioneer prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Auctioneer’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Auctioneer accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Auctioneer shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.

American (Urbana, Ohio), 19th Century. Stoneware in salt glaze with blue cobalt. Folksy design with cobalt polka dots surrounding “O.K”. Overall, 8.75”h. Base 5.375”, top 3”. From The 40 Year Americana Collection of a Central Ohio Couple. Cataloguer’s note: Research published in the Ohio History Journal by J. Warren Kiefer (see “O.K.”) indicates that the expression “OK” originated after a notable Whig convention was held in Urbana, Ohio during the Presidential campaign of General William Henry Harrison. At the event, a local farmer apparently displayed a banner that read “THE PEOPLE [or FARMERS] IS OLL KORRECT. Democrats seized the opportunity to deride and ridicule Whigs as ignorant and misinformed due to the misspelling until Daniel Leffel in Sugar Grove (just west of Springfield) had the letters “OK” painted above the entrance to his tavern in a bold act of support for Harrison. As a result, Urbana became known as “O.K. City” for a time. The phrase is also strongly associated with Harrison’s failed opponent, Martin Van Buren’s campaign as he was known as “Old Kinderhook”.
