Donald F. Seyferth Donald F. Seyferth was an industrialist, politician and civic leader in Muskegon, Michigan. Born on May 14, 1913, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Don attended school in Muskegon and later attended the Howe Military Academy in Indiana and Purdue University. During his professional life he founded Neway Equipment Co. and pursued other successful ventures, including his election to the post of Mayor of Musekgon. It was during this time that Mr. Seyferth assembled his collection of Chinese works of art. As in business, he strove to acquire the best, acquiring sought-after items from well regarded dealers such as Spink & Son and Warren Imports. He also acquired items exhibited at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. In retirement he moved to California with his wife Ruth, and pursued his love of golf, participating in the Bob Hope Desert Classic golf tournament as partner with Jack Nicklaus. Mr. Seyferth died in January 2008 and passed the collection to his son Charles A. Seyferth, who enjoyed it and the memories that it brought of his parents until his own passing.

The collection is being offered through the Charles A. Seyferth Estate and is denoted at the end of each catalogue entry.

The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability.

Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment.
