THE COWAN’S DIFFERENCE Welcome to Cowan’s. Our mission is to bring exceptional objects to sophisticated buyers, with passion, respect and integrity.

Specialists at Cowan’s Auctions have a variety of backgrounds with decades of experience in everything from academia to museums and institutions to retail. They regularly give lectures across the country and several are frequent appraisers on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow.

In addition to the auctions themselves, our services include Property Evaluations and Appraisals, Estate and Trust Advising, Private Treaty Sales, Professional Packing and Transport Service, and Full Service In-House Shipping.

A leader in the Fine Art and Antiques auction business, Cowan’s has disrupted the marketplace since we first opened in 1995. We were among the earliest houses to build a website and one of the first to sell online.

But, like many companies, Cowan’s started small. A collector since early childhood, founder Wes Cowan began collecting photographs of 19th century America while working on his PhD at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In 1984, he joined the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History as Curator of Archaeology. Along the way, he kept building his knowledge of early photography and the history it captured. In 1995 he left the museum, became a licensed auctioneer, and launched Cowan’s Auctions, Inc.

C. Wesley Cowan Founder, Vice Chair and Principal Auctioneer

Cowan’s Auctions quickly built a reputation for quality, bringing a new level of scholarship and honesty to the American History collectible category. The business grew rapidly as Cowan’s added expertise in American Indian Art, Asian Art, Furniture, Paintings and Decorative Art, Books, Coins, Jewelry, Antique Firearms, and Modern Ceramics.

In 2019, Cowan’s merged with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers to form Hindman, the largest auction company in the midwestern United States. In addition to Cowan’s offices in Cincinnati and Cleveland, Hindman and its staff of 150 experts service customers across the country from locations in Chicago; Atlanta; Denver; Milwaukee; Naples, FL; Palm Beach; Scottsdale; and St. Louis. As a company, Hindman holds over 140 auctions a year with annual revenues exceeding $70 million.

COWAN’S live!

A COLLECTOR’S PASSION Jim Scoville (1924-2007) was a noted collector and historian of early pre-reservation Plains Indian and Northern Woodland artifacts and firearms, as well as Western artists and illustrators.

He was particularly intrigued by the Sioux Indian and the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He often referred to his collection as “The Scoville Museum and Library of the Indian Wars.”

Jim grew up with a love for the outdoors. He was in awe of nature and its beauty. There was no place he would rather be than on a hunting trip, sitting by a campfire, with the sounds of a whistling bull elk somewhere off in the darkness. If he had a choice, he would have traded the industrialized city life to go back in time as a mountain man riding through the West on a horse, a gentle clasp of the reins in one hand and a firm grip of his loaded Hawken Rifle in the other.

Some say that Jim’s passion for collecting began in 1965, when he acquired his first “Indian relics” on a trip to Arkansas. However, it is more accurate to say that the seed was planted in 1957. Inspired by the book The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction and Use by Reginald and Gladys Laubin, Jim designed a scaled-down replica of Sitting Bull’s tipi for camping and bow hunting that would fit on top of a station wagon. Still impressive with 20-foot poles and a 16foot diameter, Jim’s tipi was not just an elegant and practical tent, it transported him back to the lost lifestyle of the “Buffalo days,” which he attempted to emulate. It is no wonder that his focus later as a collector, was on early “Buffalo days” artifacts.

Artifacts he typically collected, were ones with evidence of wear and age; objects which were slightly discolored from a thin layer of smoke after years of hanging inside a tipi; beautiful beaded and quilled leather items that showed wear from use or battle. Even more fascinating to him if they were repaired, not by a previous collector, but by the individual who may have experienced the encounter himself. Those are the artifacts, Jim would say, that had a story to tell.

Every detail of an object was up for interpretation and it was Jim’s nature to carefully study and analyze each piece he collected.

He was fueled by a curiosity to learn and, as a result, acquired hundreds of books, building a vast research library that also included manuscripts, rare documents, and historical works. Through his research he gained an authoritative knowledge and deeper understanding of the objects in his collection.

One would often find him at his desk, surrounded by volumes of open books. A jeweler’s loupe would sit to his side next to his ledger filled with handwritten notes and drawings. In the center, an artifact with its story waiting to be told of everyday life, war, bravery, conflict, and courage. Immersed in the world he loved, with a pencil in hand, Jim would be busy transcribing this story late into the night.

Jim was a scholar who was intent on being as accurate as possible. At the same time, he was a romantic, blending his curiosity and research with inspiration, imagination, and emotion. To him each artifact was more than just a unique, or beautiful example of artistry; they were pieces of history, each offering a rare glimpse into the past.

This collection is a true reflection of Jim’s passion as a collector and steward of history. We hope you derive as much joy and appreciation from these artifacts as Jim did, and preserve them not just for the artistry and history, but for the stories they tell.

AND a letter written in Lakota by White Bull and translated to English by Henry W. Fielder; letter reads: My friend I smoked this pipe at the peace conference with the Ute Indians, dated November 6, 1906, 5.5 x 6 in. ca 1906 Joseph White Bull, the nephew of Sitting Bull, was noted for his claim of killing George A. Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. However later in life, White Bull focused on diplomacy between the Federal Government and Indian groups.

Henry W. Fielder, a Sioux government interpreter from Cheyenne River, South Dakota, accompanied White Bull during discussions between the Federal Government and the Ute. The meeting was with hope of persuading the Ute to keep peace at a time of a threatened uprising, while trying to transition the Ute people to the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation (White Bull 1998: 26). In a newspaper article written on November 4, 1906, Fielder is quoted: Every rebellion of the Indians against the whites in the last twenty years has been the result of a misunderstanding (“Who is Accompanying Chief White Bull on His Trip,” Sioux City Journal, November 4, 1906:8).

63 SIOUX CARVED PIPE STEM WITH CATLINITE BOWL undecorated ash stem with bulbous catlinite bowl, length of stem 17 in., length of bowl 3.25 in., overall length 19.25 in. late 19th century Purportedly the pipe of Red Tomahawk (Hunkpapa Lakota, 1853-1931), a Sergeant of Indian Police at Standing Rock, responsible for the death of Sitting Bull. According to a documented phone conversation between James Scoville and Cyril Grace (the original collector), Scoville notes: He is pretty sure of it, but can’t verify it, because he got it from someone else. He does remember having Red Tomahawk sitting around his campfire and telling him about how he killed Sitting Bull and how he was sorry that he did it. Red Tomahawk did not live there at Bullhead (March 27, 1979).

Similar to the conversation between James Scoville and Cyril Grace (the original collector), revolving around the pipe of Red Tomahawk, Scoville’s file notes of 1979 state: While he can’t verify if it for certain, he did get it from Sitting Bull’s Clan or Band, and he’s pretty sure of it. It is supposed to be the one that Sitting Bull ‘broke’ when he ‘broke’ with the whites (there is another man claiming to have a broken pipe also - so not certain).

82 EARLY JICARILLA APACHE BUFFALO HIDE PARFLECHE CYLINDER painted using natural pigments, having an overall hourglass design filled with smaller, triangular elements; thick hide fringe; fitted cap, overall length 38 in.; case length 21 in. x diameter 5 in. second quarter 19th century ...Rawhide containers of this general type are well known from Plains Indian collections, but this particular example is of a less common type. In contrast to the rawhide containers of the northern and central Plains, this example is provided with a fitted cap, long fringes at the bottom, but no such fringes along the side, and it is not tapering from top to bottom. Containers of this type are known from the Pueblo Indians, who used to sew them carefully with sinew. This example, however is laced together, and the paint decoration is unlike anything created

by Pueblo artists. Laced examples are known from the Apache, Comanche, and Ute Indians.

Laid out all around the cylinder, the design is a version of the so-called Bear Hands design of the Arapaho; compare the illustration in Morrow, 1975, p. 54. In this case, however, many little brown triangles are painted in the central vertical column, in the top and bottom parts of the hourglass design, and in the two rectangles extending from the central column. Rows of short lines extend like a fringe from the outer borders of these two rectangles. This embellishment of the major pattern

with many little trianngles[sic] is a characteristic feature in Plains Apache parfleche painting, particularly noticeable in painting of the Jicarilla (Morrow, 1975, p. 86). Due to frequent intermarriage there was a strong Pueblo influence in Jicarilla Apache arts and crafts, and the Jicarilla were undoubtedly well acquainted with the Southern Arapaho. Morrow, p. 85, illustrates another Jicarilla parfleche that is painted with an Arapaho-like design.

In view of these observations I attribute a Plains Apache origin to this container; presumably made and painted by a Jicarilla who liked the designs of which she observed among the Arapaho Indians. Examples illustrated by Torrence date from the 1860s to the 1880s, and also this particular container dates back to that period. The Pueblo Indians used these cylinders to store religions objects, and a similar function has been recorded for the southern Plains tribes.

extensive beaded decoration - was given to the Society on April 30, 1930, by Andrew D. Graham of Chicago. At the time the coat was stated as having once been the property of Chief Rain-in-the-Face, and as being the one he wore at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Mr. Graham was apparently a scout attached with Major Reno’s command and took part in the pursuit and recapture of some of the participant Sioux, at which time he acquired the coat.

174 C. M. RUSSELL (AMERICAN, 1864-1926) PEN AND INK WITH WATERCOLOR ON PAPER Inspection of a Permit signed and dated; with C.M. Russell, his buffalo skull monogram, and the personal salutation, Best Wishes to My Friends the Go-a-longs (sight) 10.5 x 7.25 in.; (framed) 20 x 16.5 in.

1910 Over the course of his long career, Russell depicted subjects from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police many times. Their well-advertised courage, and their colorful bright red attire undoubtedly appealed to his sense of drama; and having spent his life close to the Canadian border and wintered with the Bloods in that country, he was certainly familiar with their service.

It is thought that Russell’s sentiments to “the Go-a-longs” refers to his friendship with Alexis (Lex) Godillot (1887-1948) a Canadian Mountie.

According to a 1993 letter from the Force Historian, Dr. William Beahen, Godillot (Regimental Number 4947) was engaged in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on September 21, 1909 at Regina, Saskatchewan. He was 23 years old and gave his next-of-kin as his father, John F. Godillot of Westport, Connecticut. He left the Mounties in 1911 in order to care

92

A COLLECTOR’S PASSION: THE JAMES B. SCOVILLE COLLECTION

for his ailing father. He last contacted the Mounties in 1924 and listed his residence as Westport.

Included in the extensive collection file compiled by Scoville is a letter from noted Russell authority the late Frederic G. Renner, dated April 13, 1983 expressing the following: To Whom It May Concern: I have personally examined the watercolor and pen drawing of a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman in conversation with a mounted Indian, both men with rifles across their saddles, the M.P. examining a paper, probably the Indian’s permission to be hunting off the reservation. Signed, “Best wishes to my friends the Go-a-longs C M Russell (skull) 1910,” size 8 x 11 inches.

In my judgement this drawing is unquestionably an original work by Charles Marion Russell.”

COWAN’S LLC TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE By registering and bidding in an auction conducted by Cowan’s LLC (“Cowan’s”), Bidders (whether present in person, by telephone, by agent, by written or telephone absentee bid instruction, or through a live internet connection) agree to be bound by these terms. These are the complete and only terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. Cowan’s retains the right to bar any Bidder from participating in any auction and to exclude or reject any bid.

1) ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS Bidding on any item, whether in person, by phone, by absentee bid or via a live internet auction indicates the Bidder’s agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions for Bidders. Any right of Bidder under this agreement shall not be assignable and shall only be enforceable by the original buyer. The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the laws of the state of Ohio. All Bidders submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Hamilton County in the State of Ohio.

2) REGISTRATION All Bidders must register their name, permanent street address (no P.O. Boxes), and telephone number prior to the auction. Unless known to Cowan’s, all registrants are required to present two forms of identification, at least one of which must include a current photograph. Bidders may be required to present a valid credit card. By registering with Cowan’s or submitting an absentee bid form, registrant authorizes Cowan’s to obtain a 112 A COLLECTOR’S PASSION: THE JAMES B. SCOVILLE COLLECTION

copy of his or her consumer credit report and authorizes Cowan’s, at its sole discretion, to use the information contained therein to make business decisions regarding the registrant’s participation in the bidding process.

Any Bidder unknown to Cowan’s may be required to submit a bank letter of credit prior to the auction, or, using a credit card, deposit with Cowan’s a fee equaling 50% of the absentee bid or 50% of the low estimate, whichever is higher.

3) TERMS OF SALE Announcements made the day of auction take precedence over any previous communication. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before its final sale and to reject any bid for any reason. The highest Bidder for each lot acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the “buyer”. If any dispute arises as to any bidding, or between two or more Bidders, at the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the successful Bidder will be determined or the disputed lot shall be put up again at the last undisputed bid and resold.

4) BUYER’S PREMIUM The Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer an additional commission (“Buyer’s Premium”). This Buyer’s Premium is not subject to negotiation from the Seller, nor is it a portion of the commission collected by the Seller. (a) Buyer’s Premium for Live “Historic Firearms and Militaria” and all “Coins and Currency” auctions: The Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 20% of the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $250,000, 15% on that part of the Sale Price exceeding $250,000, and 12% on that part of the Sale Price exceeding $3,000,000. (b) Buyer’s Premium for all other types of auctions: The Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 25% of the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $250,000, 20% on that part of the Sale Price exceeding $250,000, and 12% on that part of the Sale Price exceeding $3,000,000. (c) Lots purchased through any fee-based online bidding platform to which the Auctioneer might subscribe may be subject to additional Buyer’s Premium.

Such additional pass-through fees will be collected by the subscriber and are not subject to negotiation from the Seller, nor is this additional commission due the Seller. (d) Live “Historic Firearms and Militaria” auctions: In-person buyers paying via cash, wire transfer, money order, or pre-approved check will receive 2% Buyer’s Premium discount day-of sale only. Discounted purchased items must be removed from Cowan’s day-of sale.

Cowan’s is pleased to offer a 2% discount for in-person buyers who pay their total invoice in full by the close of business on the day of the auction. Payments must be made in person at Cowan’s Cincinnati Salesroom and buyers are responsible for collecting their purchases upon payment.

5) ESTIMATES AND RESERVES Presale estimates are intended to be guides and may or may not reflect the ultimate hammer price of a lot. Cowan’s retains the right to change estimates on any lot up to time of sale. A reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the Seller of the lot and Cowan’s.

In the case of reserved lots, the Seller has authorized Cowan’s to bid on Seller’s behalf until the reserve price is reached. In no case will the reserve be higher than the low presale estimate. Unless otherwise stated, Cowan’s standard house reserve on all property at auction is one-half of the low estimate.

6) WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS Cowan’s makes a limited warranty only to the original buyer of record concerning the authenticity of each lot for a period of 14 days after the close of the auction. If a buyer is not satisfied that the lot purchased is genuine, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed lot. If these experts determine that the item is not genuine, the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the rescission of the sale and refund of the amount paid for the item. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of the sale and refund is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law or in equity, and such remedy is conditioned upon the buyer returning the property in the same condition as at the time of sale. Cowan’s shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. All sales are final, with no returns or refunds except as provided in this limited warranty.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, EVERY LOT IS SOLD “AS IS”, without any representations or warranties by Cowan’s or the Seller as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, condition or value of the property, or the correctness or completeness of the catalog or other description of the property, and no statement, whether written or oral, shall be deemed such a representation, warranty or assumption of liability. Cowan’s makes no representation or warranty that the buyer of manuscript material, photographs, prints or works of art will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights. Cowan’s does not guarantee the working order of any clock, watch, electronic or mechanical device. Dimensions given in the catalog descriptions may be approximate.

7) INSPECTION Prospective buyers are advised to personally examine any lots in which they are interested prior to the auction. All lots are available for inspection prior to the auction. Condition reports for most items can be found online at Cowan’s website, www.cowans.com, and prospective Bidders are encouraged to contact Cowan’s directly for additional information regarding the condition of any lot. Cowan’s does not warrant the condition of any item.

The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect

condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Buyers interested in the condition of an item are encouraged to contact Cowan’s and, to the best of our ability, we will document for the prospective Bidder the condition status on any lot. Condition is always a subjective evaluation and final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of any item sold by Cowan’s.

8) DEFINITIONS OF AUTHORSHIP “By” or “Maker/Artist” — in our opinion, the work is by the artist or maker stated “Attributed to” — in our opinion, the work is probably, but not definitely, by the artist or maker stated “Signed” or “Marked” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is that of the stated artist or maker “Bearing the signature (or mark) of” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is probably, but not definitely, that of the artist or maker stated “Circle of” — in our opinion, the work is of the period and by an artist or maker closely associated with the stated artist or maker “School of” — in our opinion, the work is by a pupil or follower of the stated artist or maker “Manner of” — in our opinion, the work is of the period and done in the style of the stated artist or maker “After” — in our opinion, the work is a copy of a work by the stated artist or maker ABSENTEE, TELEPHONE AND INTERNET BIDDING Absentee and telephone bidding is offered as a free service to our customers and prospective Bidders. Cowan’s shall not be responsible for any errors or failures in executing bids, either absentee, telephone or via the internet. Cowan’s cannot warrant or guarantee any phone or absentee bids made or altered on the day of the auction. All bids must be placed in U.S. Dollars and reflect the bid increments as defined by the Auctioneer.

9) ABSENTEE BIDDING Absentee bids are accepted via phone, fax, email and on Cowan’s website. Such bids will be posted with the time and date of arrival, with ties being awarded to the earliest Bidder. Absentee bids that are faxed or emailed need to be received by the Cowan’s office at least 2 hours before the sale begins.

All absentee bids are executed competitively by a member of the auction staff.

The auction staff will try to purchase the lot for the lowest price possible and will bid up to the amount designated by the absentee Bidder only if necessary.

Cowan’s does not accept “buy bids,” or absentee bids which have no limit. In the event of a tie bid between a floor and an absentee Bidder, the floor bid will be honored.

10) TELEPHONE BIDDING Bidding live via the telephone is available on a first come, first served basis. In order for Cowan’s to efficiently serve the needs of those who wish to bid by phone, please note the following: (a) To participate in the auction by telephone, potential Bidders must complete and sign the bid form and check “I WISH TO BID BY TELEPHONE” for the designated lots. Potential Bidders may also reserve a phone line on Cowan’s website. If faxing or emailing requests for phone bidding, they need to be received by the Cowan’s office at least 2 hours before the sale begins. Once the auction begins, bids left on Cowan’s website or emailed may not be retrieved by the staff. (b) As a registered telephone bidder, Bidders are aware the bidding begin at the minimum of one half of the low estimate. (c) Telephone Bidders are advised to indicate an “insurance bid”, which amount will become an absentee bid, pursuant to the absentee bidding process set forth above, if Cowan’s cannot reach the Bidder by telephone for a particular indicated lot. (d) Telephone Bidders must disable any caller ID or other call blocking mechanism. (e) Cowan’s sells about 75-100 lots per hour, so telephone Bidders should plan accordingly. Cowan’s will attempt to reach each telephone Bidder, but Cowan’s is in no way responsible for missed calls.

11) INTERNET BIDDING Internet bidding is available through our website; additionally, Cowan’s may post certain auctions on third party bidding platforms. At its discretion, Cowan’s may restrict select lots from internet bidding; restricted lots can be bid upon directly with Cowan’s via phone or absentee bidding. There may be terms which apply solely to internet bids that should be reviewed online at the time of sale. Cowan’s is not responsible for any failure to execute a bid and shall have no liability to any Bidder for any technical or other failure associated with an internet auction.

12) BIDDING INCREMENTS The following increments are used at the auction.

Absentee bids must fall within these increments. Cowan’s will automatically adjust any absentee bid to the closest increment if the bid falls outside the published range of increments.

For Bids Falling Between Bidding Increment $0-500 $25 $501-1,000 $50 $1,001-3,000 $100 $3,001-5,000 $250 $5,001 and up $500 or at the discretion of the auctioneer Cowan’s reserves the right to modify increments at any time during the auction.

AFTER THE AUCTION 13) BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY Upon the fall of the hammer, title to the offered lot shall pass to the buyer and the buyer immediately (a) assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot, including liability for loss or damage and (b) is liable for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Cowan’s. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ask specific questions on condition related concerns prior to the auction. Cowan’s will not rescind sales with buyers that have disputes regarding firearm’s bore condition.

14) PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT The “Purchase Price” for each lot shall equal the hammer price, buyer’s premium, sales tax and, if applicable, all packing, handling, insurance and shipping costs. Buyers who are present at the auction must pay the full Purchase Price at the time of the sale. Buyers who bid by telephone, by internet, or who are absentee Bidders will be invoiced within 5 days after the close of the auction and must pay the full Purchase Price for each purchased lot within 14 days after the date of the auction. If no alternate payment has been arranged, Cowan’s may apply any balance due to the Buyer’s payment method on file after 14 days. No property will be released by Cowan’s unless the Purchase Price has been paid in full and the payment has cleared.

Payments must be made with cash, personal or traveler’s check, money order, credit card or wire transfers. Returned checks are subject to an additional $45 return fee. Bidders from outside the continental United States are required to pay via wire transfer unless previously known to Cowan’s. For Fine Jewelry, Coin and Currency, and Fine Silver auctions, Bidders previously unknown to Cowan’s may purchase up to $1,000 via credit card with the remaining balance settled via cash, personal or traveler’s check or credit card or wire transfers.

PLEASE NOTE: A surcharge of 3% will be assessed to all credit card transactions.

This surcharge is not greater than our cost of acceptance.

Institutional billing may be available, and should be arranged prior to the auction.

Cowan’s may impose late charges of 1.5% per month (18% APR or the highest interest rate allowed) on any amount owed to Cowan’s that remains unpaid after 30 days. Buyer shall be liable for any collection costs or attorney’s fees incurred by Cowan’s to collect payment, to the extent permitted by law.

15) SALES TAX Buyers are required to pay any applicable state and local sales tax.

16) SHIPPING At the request of the buyer, Cowan’s will authorize the shipment of purchased items usually within two weeks after payment has been received.

Shipment is generally made via UPS or Fed-Ex Ground. Unless buyer gives special instructions, the shipping method shall be at the sole discretion Cowan’s Auctions. Cowan’s is in no way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent handlers, packers or shippers of purchased items or for any loss, damage or delay from the packing or shipping of any property.

ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS Cowan’s will not ship any package containing a firearm to any location other than within the United States. Buyers outside the United States must make their own shipping arrangements taking full risk for the transportation of any firearm.

Property made of or containing certain plant or animal materials, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, baleen, tortoiseshell, etc., may require a license or certificate before exportation from the United States and importation to another country. If a purchase contains these materials, the Buyer must check the government wildlife import requirements in the countries from which and to which the item is being shipped prior to bidding. Since the export and import licenses are independently issued by the countries of origin and destination, obtaining one does not guarantee that you can obtain the other.

Purchasers are responsible for making timely payments on items won at auction, even if a license is delayed or denied.

17) SHIPPING CHARGES Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty charges are the responsibility of the successful Bidder. Be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial.

18) REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF PROPERTY AND CANCELLATION OF SALE It is the responsibility of the Buyer to remove purchased property. If purchased property has not been removed, or Cowan’s has not received shipping instructions within 60 days after the auction date, Cowan’s may, at its option, cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payments made by the buyer, and/or resell the property at auction or by any other commercially reasonable means, for the account and at the risk of the buyer, and in such event, buyer shall be liable for the payment of all deficiencies plus all of Cowan’s costs, including but not limited to storage and costs of both sales. This right of cancellation is in addition to any and all other remedies available to Cowan’s.
