(b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price . The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor or vendor .

A successful mail bidder wil l be notified of lots purchased . Before Harmers will send such lots , payment in full must be received by Harmers within three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notification by the mail bidder . However , a purchaser known to Harmers , or who furnishes satisfactory references , may, at Harmers option , have purchases delivered or forwarded for immediate payment (by a dollar draft on a U.S. bank in the case of overseas purchasers) . Mailed delivery will be to the address on t_he bid s~eet and proof by Harmers of receipt of a sending at the advised address shall constitute delivery . All charges for handling , delivery and insurance (obtained by Harmers on behalf of the purchaser) shall be added to the purchase price ; a minimum charge of $1 .00 will be made. Risk of loss in transit shall be on the purchaser . (c) Where an opinion of a generally recogn ized authority * is desired , the time for payment may be extended in accord with and subject to Cond ition of Sale 8.

Title shall not pass to the purchaser until full payment has been received by Harmers as agents for the consignor or vendor.

(b) In the event that a bidder shall fail to comply with these Conditions of Sale (" Non-Complying Bidder "), then , as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comply occurs , Harmers may, at its option , re-offer such lot immediately or at auction at a later time and shafl hold the Non¡ Complying Bidder liable for the deficiency , if any, between the hammer price and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser , as well as for all costs and expenses of both sales , all other charges due thereunder , including commissions with respect to both sales, and all incidental damages . In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a Non-Complying Bidder . (c) A defaulting purchaser shall be deemed to have granted Harmers a security interest in any property in Harmers possession owned by such purchaser .

(d) If Harmers takes any legal steps to secure payment of a delinquent account , the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all legal and other expenses incurred by Harmers to secure such payment, including but not limited to a reasonable allowance for attorneys ' -fees . For purposes of this paragraph , the term legal steps shall be deemed to include any and all consultation by Harmers with its attorneys with respect to all matters arising out of a delinquent account.

(a) On Premises Inspection and Postal Viewing. Ample opportunity is given for on premises inspection prior to the auction date , and, upon written request and at Harmers discretion , for inspection by postal viewing (all as detailed elsewhere in this Catalogue). (b) Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described , based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this Catalogue , including but not restricted to the section entitled " Key to Cata loguing ". (c) Quality. Any lot which a purchaser considers to be incorrectly described may be returned to Harmers within two weeks of its receipt by such purchaser (" Returning Purchaser "), provided , however , that the same is received by Harmers within four weeks of the date of the auction ; however , Harmers may, in its discretion , refuse acceptance of such returned lot. If an opinion of a gene rally recognized authority is desired , the period of time within which a lot must be received

by Harmers will be extended in accordance with Condit ion of Sale 8. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by reference to a generally recognized authority , and Harmers thereupon undertakes to re-offer the lot with a desc ription identical to the description disputed , the Return• ing Purchaser shall be liable for the deficiency , if any, between the proceeds of the sale to the Returning Purchaser and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchase~. as well as for all costs and expenses of the re-sale, including commission , and all incidental damages . Any lot, the description of which is disputed , must be returned intact in the condition received by the purchas• er. The following lots are not returnable except at the discretion of Harmers : (i) lots from pur· chasers who attended the exhibition of the lots ; (ii) lots examined by postal viewers ; (iii) lots on account of their appearance , if they are illustrated in this Catalogue ; (iv) lots described as having repairs , defects or faults-for any reason ; (v) U.S. stamps (thro ugh 1918) for reasons of paper inclusions . (d) Authenticity. Any lot which is declared otherwise than genuine by a generally recognized authority is returnable , provided such lot is received tiy Harmers within four weeks of the date of the auction . Proof that a generally recognized authority declines to express an opinion is normally grounds for the return of a lot. (e) Expenses incurr ed in the submission and the return of a lot under Cond itions of Sale 7.9 are not refunded.

EXTENSION OF TIME (a) When an opinion from a generally recognized authority is not expected or available within four weeks from the date of the auction , the purchaser shall : (i) within seven days of receipt thereof submit the lot to one of the generally recognized authorities . (ii) notify Harmers , in writing (and preferab ly on the form supplied) , of such submission no later than four weeks from the date of the auction. Such notification shall be deemed given when received by Harmers and shall include the name and address of the authority to whom the lot has been submitted . (b) A prospective purchaser wishing to submit a lot to an authority not accepted by Harmers shall , prior to the date of the auction , request in writing permission for such submission and obtain confirmation of such request from Harmers . The auctionee r reserves the right to refuse a bid where the authority requested is not acceptable on any grounds , which grounds need not be disclosed by Harmers. (c) Payment for lots upon which an extension of time is obtained pursuant to this Cond ition of Sale 8 may be made in accord with Condition of Sale 4, subject to the following (paragraph d) and herein . (d) If a lot is certified by a generally recognized authority to be other than as described : (i) the sale (and the invoice with respect thereto , if outstanding) will be cancelled ; and, (ii) to the extent set forth in Condition of Sale 9, payment of the expense of certification will be made to the purchaser .
