In a Stunning Move, Morphy Auctions Merges with James D. Julia, Inc. Morphy Auctions has Merged with James D. Julia, Inc. to be an International Leader in Multiple Collecting Categories Effective December 14th, 2017, Dan Morphy of Morphy Auctions, proudly announced that he has successfully merged with the renowned international auction company of James D. Julia, Inc., which will become a division of Morphy Auctions.

Morphy Auctions and James D. Julia, Inc. share a common purpose of delighting collectors worldwide with aligned missions and unparalleled customer service standards. Joining forces creates a synergistic team of passionate staff members to better serve our customers and strengthen the antiques and collectibles industry.

Both companies take pride in having the most talented and knowledgeable experts in the industry. One of the biggest advantages to this merger is blending both teams of leading experts to enhance processes, descriptions and valuations. Morphy Auctions realized annual sales of $35 million within the last year. Within this same time, Julia’s generated $43 million in annual sales; for a combined gross of $78 million. With this combined total of annual sales, Morphy Auctions is one of the largest antique auctions house in North America.

Morphy Auctions has experienced tremendous growth over the years. The combination of the highly experienced and much acclaimed Julia team together with the outstanding auction team that Morphy has already formed, will make Morphy Auctions the ultimate place to go for rare firearms and important lamp & glass; as well as toys, dolls, advertising, coin-op, automobilia and petroliana, and all forms of decorative arts.

Dan Morphy, Founder and President of Morphy Auction Company stated, “I have literally spent all my life watching and learning from Jim. With nearly 50 years in the industry, Jim has an undisputed reputation and I admire and will emulate his business approach towards his clients and employees. It is an honor and privilege to have this new association with someone I have considered to be a mentor and leader in the industry.

Over the years, Jim Julia crafted an extraordinary team and unique auction company as a result of his philosophy, business acumen and direct, honest approach with his clients whether they be buyers or sellers. I have always tried to incorporate the same approach. In merging with Julia’s extraordinary team, I intend to make the transition as seamless as possible. The bottom line is that I not only want to merge Jim Julia’s company and his people but I want to expand the philosophy of our business to include much of what created extraordinary success for Jim.” Jim Julia, Founder and President of James D. Julia, Inc., shared, “I had never considered not being in the auction business and I have, for many years, contended that I, like my father (who passed away at nearly 90 years old this past year), would continue to auction well into my 80s, provided my health allowed it. The limitation in my mind had always been my personal health. But in November of 2016, my wife received a devastating diagnosis of incurable brain cancer. I immediately realized that as much as I loved the people, the antiques, and the excitement of the auction, there was nothing more important in this world to me than my wife, Sandy, and I elected to devote my time to her. From November of 2016 until today, my auction company never skipped a beat and has been extremely successful under the leadership of my good friend and CEO, Mark Ford, who continued to lead, improve and expand our company.

A short while ago, Dan Morphy called to speak with me and asked if I would consider selling the company or doing some sort of joint venture. I explained to him that there were 3 things that were incredibly important to me; first, of course, was what was in the best interest of me and my wife, secondly, my obligation to my incredibly loyal and dedicated team of employees, and thirdly, wanting to do what would best serve all of the wonderful consignors and buyers that the company had developed over the years. The ensuing conversations with Dan, and ultimately the deal we were able to put together, allowed me to cover all three of these factors.

I have always admired Dan, his youth, his energy, his tremendous drive and his success. I knew and did business with Dan before he became an auctioneer and watched him as he entered the auction business and the subsequent dramatic growth he experienced. Dan is a superb leader and this was very clear and obvious during our negotiations about the melding of the two companies.”

Morphy’s will hold all future auctions and accept consignments in their Pennsylvania and Nevada locations. Visit www.morphyauctions.com for future auction dates and consignment details.

Carl Frederick “Fritz” Baehr (1928–2017) After sharing 89 wonderful years with family and friends, Fritz Baehr passed away peacefully on Monday, November 27, with his wife and their four children by his side.

Fritz was born May 17, 1928 to Rudolph and Freda Baehr in Akron, Ohio. Later, he served four years in the United States Air Force (1951-1955) where he was awarded several medals, one being the Bronze Star; he took great pride in his service, always holding his country close at heart. While serving in Korea, he noticed the children at an orphanage near his barracks were barefoot and with little clothing. He contacted his church back home, requesting them to gather shoes and clothes; soon, a big box arrived. Not looking for recognition, Fritz secretly placed the box on the steps of the orphanage in the middle of the night. He was always touched when he passed by and saw the children with their new garments. Fritz was honorably discharged to complete his education at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

In 1955, Fritz married his sweetheart, Marilyn Plucknett, and they shared 62 years of love, devotion and friendship. Two years later, the couple moved to beautiful Boulder, Colorado, to start a family, and Fritz opened his own independent insurance agency. He continued his insurance career until semi-retiring in 1994.

From an early age, Fritz developed a love for fine antique firearms. His father gave him money on his 14th birthday to purchase his first nice firearm, which led him to become a collector and student, primarily of Remington handguns. Soon after arriving in Boulder, he learned of the Colorado Gun Collectors organization and became a member, where he enjoyed the friendship and camaraderie of many he met over the years. At the urging of world-renowned collector Karl Moldenhauer, Fritz founded the Remington Society of America in 1981. Though slow to get started, with the support of many other devoted Remington collectors, it has since grown to be a worldwide organization. Fritz was well respected for his passion, knowledge and integrity within the antique gun community.

Ralph Cruz Ralph studied classical violin at both Indiana University and the University of Miami on full scholarships, during which time he won numerous classical violin competitions.

In 1982, he co-founded Omega Research, Inc., an online, securities-based trading system with his brother, Bill Cruz.

Their successful small company went Public in 1997, trading under TradeStation Group, Inc. He continued as Co-Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company until his retirement in 2007.

Since a child, he had always had an affinity for the West, being introduced to all of the great Western movies by his late father. But in 2000, a family trip throughout the West, most specifically, Montana, would begin a lifelong passion for everything connected with the history and romance of the Wild West.

He search out one of the most respected and knowledgeable experts in Antique Arms, the late JR La Rue, to hand select most of his collection, focusing on quality, scarcity and enduring value. “JR’s passing is a great loss to the James Julia family, the Antique Arms community, to all of those who knew him, and to me personally, as I was both honored and privileged to gain both his expertise and friendship.”

I have truly treasured these items but for personal reasons, I have decided to sell them. I hope they will bring you as much joy and pleasure as they did for me.

Daryl L. Middlebrook (1944–2018) Daryl grew up at the Penn Yan Airport in Western NY, learning to fly at a young age and with a mechanical aptitude second to none, he later obtained a degree in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering in 1964. He was a licensed Airframe and Powerplant Technician with an FAA Inspection Authorization, a Designated Airworthiness Representative for the Federal Aviation Administration, a Designated Manufacturing Inspection Representative, and an Instrument rated Private Pilot Land and Sea. He was a recipient of the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award for lifetime contributions in the field of aviation maintenance. Daryl owned and operated Penn Yan Aero, the oldest most respected aircraft engine overhaul shop in the country for more than 40 years.

As a life member of the NRA and always a fan of all firearms, shooting skills and hunting, Daryl maintained a demolition license as a teenager and later in life he held FFL licenses. Daryl loved to hunt deer, moose, caribou, bear, pheasants, partridge, quail and geese…his trusty hunting dog never far away.

Some of his collections included numerous handguns, highpowered long range rifles and even a cannon or two. However, his most treasured firearms were his shotguns. It was not uncommon for Daryl and his son Bill to sneak out of work on sunny afternoons for a few rounds of skeet. Always a proponent of learning and firearm safety, every family member was drawn in at one point or another. Whether it was an old flint lock, an AR-15 or a skeet shoot we all became gun owners and we all shared this love.

In later years, Daryl became heavily involved in the Parker Gun Collectors Association as he amassed his collection. Daryl loved traveling to the meets and to the Julia’s Auctions to buy, sell and as he would say, “swap lies.”

Aside from the shotguns, Daryl formed the greatest of friendships with other like-minded people throughout this time. We know these relationships brought him great joy and comradery and the Middlebrook family thanks these amazing people for their friendships.

We are saddened to see Daryl go. And we are saddened to see the things he loved so much go as well. Keeping history locked away with us was not Daryl’s wish. Our hope is that these remaining pieces that brought Daryl so much joy can be redistributed to the next line of collectors and for future generations to enjoy.

Bruce Burtner Bruce currently lives in Decatur, Illinois, with Helen his wife of 53 years.

Born in 1937 in Skokie, Illinois, Bruce received his first gun in 1941, a Civil War Springfield rifle, from his grandmother’s attic.

Growing up during WWII, his interest in firearms led to a lifetime of collecting and studying. His other hobbies include motorcycle riding (off-road and street) and military rifle competition matches.

He served his country in the U. S. Army, which included a tour of duty in Korea.

Bruce graduated from Northwestern University with a 4-year degree in biology and spent 21 years working in the scientific field as an industrial toxicologist.

Bruce’s Remington derringer collection encompasses a 75-year period (1860-1935) of concealed-carry production. Historically the oldest gun maker in our country, these little guns perfectly illustrate the power of American ingenuity.

Bruce is a life-member of the NRA and ISRA.

John Robert Roughton, Jr. John Robert Roughton, Jr., (Bob), born June 28, 1938, in Norfolk, VA, took an interest in firearms at age 12, when given his first rifle, a single shot 22. He fondly remembers target practicing using tin cans while visiting his grandparent’s farm.

He graduated from VPI in 1960 and proceeded into the US Army as a 2nd Lieutenant. His interest in firearms was increased during his service years and he started collecting thereafter. His first notable purchase was a Civil War percussion musket. By then married to his wife, Sylvia, he left the army with a rank of Captain.

He spent the next 40 years in the family business of Roughton Pontiac Corp., all the while adding to his collection.

For a while he collected Colts but later added Winchesters, Civil War Carbines, Flintlock Military Muskets, Remingtons, Smith & Wessons and Military Knives. Valuable Flintlock Muskets made

by Springfield, Virginia Manufactory and Harpers Ferry enhanced his collection. Of special interest were two Harpers Ferry pistols, the last pair made.

Warren H. Buxton (1935–2016) Cowboy, Electrical Engineer and Walther Researcher Extraordinaire

Warren H. Buxton was an extraordinary man of boundless energy and enthusiasm. Although he was best known for his groundbreaking books on the P38, Warren also wrote Russell M. Catron and His Pistols, and, at the time of his death, had nearly completed an encyclopedic reference on the Walther Olympia. In the planning stage was another project, for he had photocopied virtually all of Walther’s postwar P38 records for yet another book!

Those are serious accomplishments for a fellow who grew up in a remote section of Wyoming, specifically on the Ucross ranch, a place most people would describe as “a hundred miles from nowhere.” Spending his youth as a bona fide cowboy, Warren’s first experience with the real world came through his enlistment with the military. After high school he signed up with the Air Force where he trained as an electronics technician and flew in an RB-47 reconnaissance bomber. Four years later, after his tour of duty, Warren returned to Wyoming ranching. But only briefly. The first hard winter, in which some of the daily highs hit -50F, prompted Warren to do “something else.”

So Warren went back to school, starting with Trinidad State Jr. College and finishing at University of New Mexico where he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering. His first job was with the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico where he worked with “Q” clearance, one of the highest levels of security with access to “special intelligence.” Just what he did still remains a mystery, even to his closest friends. As Warren was inclined to say, with a chuckle and a sly smile, “If I told you, I’d have to kill you.”

It was during his tenure at Los Alamos that Warren became interested in P38s. According to David Witkowski, long term OGCA member and close friend, Warren spotted his first “good” P38 at a Columbus show while traveling with Ernie Lang, another OGCA member and a founder of the National Automatic Pistol Collectors Association (NAPCA). Of course, the gun was priced “outrageously” and Warren didn’t get it, but the P38’s mystique coupled with Warren’s unbridled curiosity set up a chain of investigation that Warren pursued for the rest of his life and expressed through his books.

After retiring from Los Alamos, Warren took a brief respite from German guns to write a short work on the Catron pistols that briefly explored Kimballs, the High Standard T3 and the Colt T4.

It made no difference that the Catron’s production was limited or that most gun aficionados had never heard of the company. Warren got interested and he wanted the information “out there.” The Catron book was published in 2004.

At about the same time, Warren’s interest returned to Walther. He was fascinated by the Olympias and learned all he could about their development and production. Some OGCA members may remember his displays: “The Beginning of a Walther Legend” (2005-2009); “The Walther Olympia” (2009, 2012); and “A Few Rare Walther Automatic Pistols” (2015). In his last showing, Warren’s Walther AP #10 with stock was awarded the Thomas L. Kyser Best Single Gun award.

Joking aside, Warren’s book on the Olympias and its competitors will have the same monumental and lasting effect as his P38 anthology. Fortunately for the collector’s community, a number of contributors have volunteered to complete his effort that needs only a fine tuning before being published by Simpson, Ltd. We have all heard the phrase “I could never have accomplished that task had I not been standing on the shoulders of giants.”

Warren was one of those giants. As anyone interested in firearms history and mechanical developments would attest, his name was synonymous with integrity and meticulous research. Yet reputation aside, there was so much more to the man as his intellect, knowledge, and passion for discovery invariably made an indelible impression. It will be a long, long time until anyone comes close to filling his shoes. Warren, rest in peace.

As all writers know, finishing the first publication is the hardest.

You have to build your knowledge base while achieving peer credibility and hope that the book will be critically acclaimed. To state that The P38 Pistol Vol I: Walther Pistols, published in 1978, met that milestone would be an understatement. It was a first class text whose presentation included a level of detailing that was previously unknown. The book sold out quickly, bringing Warren incredible notoriety. Now an accomplished author, doors opened magically, as collectors from around the world rushed to contribute and seek acknowledgment. The P38 Pistol Vol II: Contract Pistols was published in 1984 and The P38 Pistol Vol III: Postwar Distribution in 1990. All three were reprinted in 1999.

Raymond B. Bentley (1935–2017) Most of the great gun collections in the world were formed in the 20th century. One of the most notable of the great collections is that of Mr. Raymond B. Bentley. Ray did not form a collection, he formed numerous collections, each pursued with the same great passion. The most notable of all his collections was unquestionably a spectacular collection of rare Winchesters. Based on rarity, condition and value; Ray’s collection of Winchesters is the finest ever assembled. The collection is virtually breathtaking to any serious collector of Winchesters.

Ray was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He graduated from Trenton State College and after college taught industrial arts for a few years. After deciding that teaching was not for him, Ray became a salesman, going out on the road selling steel and he became very successful in that industry. Becoming an outstanding steel salesman led Ray to a wonderful opportunity–in 1976, he purchased Adam Metal Products Company in Ledgewood, New Jersey, into which he put his heart and soul. His many years of hard work paid off and Adam Metal became a tremendously prosperous business for him.

Ray with one of his Gatling guns

Ray put together the finest quality assemblage of Winchesters ever compiled and the pedigree of having been in the “Ray Bentley Collection” is a designation which will stick with each and every one of these Winchesters 50 or 100 years from now to all future collectors. Ray was truly a great man and his collection is unquestionably the finest. It is an extreme honor and privilege to be selected to handle his world renowned collection.

Ray was a “man’s man,” tall, good looking and filled with energy and life. He was also the quintessential gentleman; always began a request with “please” and ended it with “thank you.” He was very charismatic and he was a tremendous raconteur, he delighted in telling humorous stories and jokes. Ray was also an extraordinarily passionate collector.

Ray also put together an extraordinary collection of elaborate silver trophies, probably one of the finest of its type in existence.

But he also collected so many other items: sheriff badges, fireman related items, models, uniforms and hats, knives, swords, handguns, antique vehicles (particularly WWII vehicles), etc. He was a most patriotic individual and “God Bless America” was very much an anthem for his life.

Ray’s interest in guns started early for him as his father was a collector himself. In the 1960s, Ray began his collection and continued to collect for the rest of his life. Ray’s eventual goal was to create a comprehensive collection of Winchester rifles in all the various configurations, but most important to Ray was that each example be the best he could find. Throughout his life, he worked to fulfill that goal, always attempting to upgrade. If he had a rare gun with 85% finish and discovered another that had 95% finish, he would upgrade. The end result is that his collection is just spectacular. In the latter part of the 20th century, any serious Winchester seller with an extraordinary example, would make it a point to contact Ray Bentley first in hopes that what they had to offer was better because if Ray needed it, he was always in the market and everyone knew it.

Ray loved his family dearly but he also had a second family, his team of employees at Adam Metal. He treated his team like a family and it was a terrific place to work. Ray was very considerate of his employees and nurtured a family-like environment within the business–he was always quick to help anyone on his team with a special need.

His first family includes his wonderful daughter, Barbara Stoken, and her husband, Craig, together with his two grandsons, Garrett and Parker Stoken. Ray also had a very loving son, Lawrence Bentley, together with his wife, Amie. Ray had a brother, Edward, who spent many years working at Adam Metal with Ray and predeceased Ray by just a couple of years.

Our March 21, 22 & 23 auction at the Julia facility in Fairfield, Maine will include Session One of the Bentley Winchesters together with his swords, knives, handguns, cartridge boards, some of the special trophies and some of the rare ammunition.

The second and third sessions of Winchesters will be offered later in 2018 at the Morphy Auction Company facilities in Denver, Pennsylvania. The remainder of his trophies and the vast number of items from his various other collections will all be sold at future Morphy auctions.

A copy of a factory letter, dated July 18, 1995, is included with this rifle. The letter states that the rifle was originally shipped as a 25-35 Cal. with a 22” bbl and shotgun butt.

It was accepted from the factory on April 24, 1905 and shipped to Harry C. Haynes, then returned and re-shipped several times. The entry shows that the rifle was “cut open action”.

FINE EARLY COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 76854. Cal. 45 Colt. Nickel finish with 5-1/2” bbl, full front sight and 1-line block letter address with caliber marking on left side. Ejector rod housing is third type with flat half moon ejector rod head. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and left front web of trigger guard is marked “45X CAL / E”. The third digit of the Caliber marking has been peened over. Mounted with 1-pc walnut grip that has the last four digits of SN in back strap channel. It is apparent that this revolver was intended to have been caliber 455 Eley but was changed to 45 Colt at the factory. There is no evidence that the chambers in cylinder were modified to accept the longer cartridge so it is apparent that the cylinder was originally bored for 45 Colt cartridges.

The cylinder is period equipment with beveled lands between the flutes, without any proof marks on rear face which is not uncommon for this period of manufacture. Further lending credence to the idea that the cylinder is correct for this revolver is that neither the bbl nor the cylinder are British proofed as were the majority of all the single actions made in British calibers. This is a fine, scarce antique single action made in 1882. PROVENANCE: The spectacular collections of Ray Bentley featuring the finest and rarest deluxe antique Winchesters in the world. CONDITION: Very fine plus, all matching including grip. Overall retains about 96-98% strong orig nickel finish, slightly dulled on bbl and sides of frame. There are minor losses on lower front edge of frame by cylinder opening with a couple of flaked spots on hammer. Screw heads retain most of their orig factory fire blue. Grip shows light to moderate edge wear with a few minor nicks & scratches and retains virtually all of its orig factory varnish. Hammer is not strong in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore.

1/8 SCALE ALL BRASS WORKING MODEL OF THE BRITISH WWI 18-POUNDER RECOILLESS CANNON AND CAISSON. The Ordnance QF 18-pounder, or simply 18-pounder gun, was the standard British Empire field gun of the First World War-era. It formed the backbone of the Royal Field Artillery during the war, and was produced in large numbers. It was used by British Forces in all the main theaters, and by British troops in Russia in 1919. Its Cal. (84 mm) and shell weight were greater than those of the equivalent field guns in French (75 mm) and German (77 mm) service. It was generally horse drawn until mechanization in the 1930s.

CONDITION: Very fine overall as refinished. Retains most all blue finish on 16” bbl with magazine finish slightly thinning.

RARE JENNINGS BREECHLOADING SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. SN 102. Cal 54. Standard rifle with 26” rnd smooth bore bbl, ramrod tube under the bbl containing a brass & hickory cleaning rod that is probably a replacement.

DICKSON AGENT / NEW YORK / PATENTED 1849”. Receiver & rear end of the bbl are nicely engraved in foliate arabesque patterns.

Hammer shank & buttplate tang are engraved to match. Breech cover & pellet priming receptacle are present. Mounted with uncheckered straight grain American walnut buttstock that has straight grip & crescent buttplate with an engraved 2-1/4” by 3/4” nickel silver oval inlaid in the left side. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms there were probably less than 1,000 of these rare rifles produced in 2 varieties 1848-1851. The first model was a repeater and the model described here was a factory conversion or one built at the factory from Jennings Repeater parts. This rifle used the “Rocket Ball” cartridge which was grossly underpowered and unsuitable for either military or sporting use which led to the demise of this design, but propelled the Chief Engineer, B. Tyler Henry into prominence. He later invented the Volcanic line of arms which evolved into the Model 1860 Henry Rifle, which then became the Winchester dynasty. Many of the existing Jennings rifles were converted to muzzle loader. Very few are found today in orig configuration. CONDITION: Fair to good. No orig finish remains with the metal an overall cleaned gray patina with areas of pitting over the bbl. Receiver is lightly pitted around the breech opening and nipple areas with the remainder a gray/brown patina. Buttplate & trigger guard are matching patina.

Trigger guard has welded repairs. Stock has a repaired chip at the toe and another in right side of top tang with a gouge in the left wrist and shows a hand worn patina. Hammer is not solid at full cock, otherwise mechanics are a little loose but functional. Bore is moderately pitted. 53168-1 (3,000-5,000) Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

PRESENTATION HIGH GRADE CIVIL WAR JEWELED STATUE HILT SWORD TO BRIG. GENERAL JOHN T. CROXTON. John Thomas Croxton (1836-1874) was born in Paris, Kentucky, the oldest son of a Virginia born planter and slave owner. He graduated with honors from Yale University and was practicing law in Paris and was an ardent supporter for emancipation of slaves including his fathers which alienated him from much of his Kentucky brethren. In October 1861 as the war escalated, Lincoln appointed Croxton as Lt. Colonel of the 4th Kentucky mounted infantry which saw fighting at Millsprings and Perryville. Croxton was wounded when his brigade tangled with Nathan Bedford Forrest, September 19, 1863 touching off the battle of Chickamauga. He was promoted to Brig. General at the age of 27 in 1864 and his cavalry was active in Alabama burning most of the town of Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama’s buildings.

Croxton was not a popular man in Alabama. After the war he was military governor of the District of Southwest Georgia.

James Kelly was killed and Lt. Colonel James McGee commanding the regiment was wounded and removed from the field. McGee would stay in Petersburg with the 69th and Irish Brigade recovering from his wounds and was finally discharged October 11 and returned home.

RELIEF CARVED GOLDEN AGE RIFLE BY CHRISTIAN BECK III (THE ELDER).

SN NA. Overall length 54”. Butt plate is 1-1/2” wide. The 39” full octagon smooth bore barrel is nicely signed, in script, on the top flat. The four-piece patch box has four piercings.

The rifle is profusely relief carved on the cheek side of the butt, forward of the patch box and at the barrel tang. There is incised carving at the rear ramrod ferrule. The Ketland & Co. lock appears to be original flint. The rifle has double set triggers and the stock is curly maple. Christian Beck III, nephew of J.P. Beck, apprenticed to John Bonewitz in Womelsdorf, PA. He worked in the Womelsdorf area until about 1808 when he briefly relocated to Adamstown, Lancaster County, where his first son was born. He moved to Roxbury, Lurgan Township, Franklin County PA about 1810. Prior to his move to Franklin County his training with Bonewitz is evident in the characteristic style of his rifles. While in Franklin County he had to transition his rifles from the Womelsdorf School into a style more similar to the Chambersburg School. The transition explains the Chambersburg style side plate on this rifle. The Womelsdorf and Chambersburg styles are merged quite well on this rifle. Christian III moved out of Franklin County into Maryland about 1820. This rifle was probably made circa 1810.(Reference the article “Which Beck is it?” By Van Pitman KRA Volume 391, Number 1). CONDITION: A few insignificant slivers of wood have been restored on the fore stock along the barrel on the right hand side. The flint lock appears to be original flint. This is a nice clean rifle with great relief and incised carving. 531056 RGG (13,000-16,000)

3145.

RARE SIGNED JACOB KUNTZ EARLY RELIEF CARVED RIFLE. SN NA. Overall 60”. Buttplate 1 ½” wide. The 44” full octagon barrel signed Jacob Kuntz. The brass patch box with its fleur-de-lis finial is nicely engraved including a Lehigh County “face” within the engraving. There are heavy brass wire inlay decorations above and below the patch box door. The rifle has four silver inlays and the typical arrow back side plate is heavy beveled brass. The relief carving on the cheek side of the butt is exceptional and the cheek piece features a large silver finely engraved eight pointed star inlay inside an engraved oval silver ring. The rifle shows worn incised carving at the rear ramrod ferrule and extremely nice fleur-de-lis relief carving at the barrel tang. This cataloger is of the opinion this rifle’s relief carving ranks among the best of existing Lehigh County guns. Jacob Kuntz was born in Lehigh Township September 6, 1780. Jacob Kuntz is a very important maker who was trained in Allentown, PA. Jacob moved to Philadelphia in 1810, and in 1812 married Barbara Newhard, niece of the famous Allentown gunsmith Peter Newhard. In 1833 the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia awarded Jacob Kuntz a silver medal for his skill and ingenuity. Jacob died at the age of 95 years after becoming Philadelphia’s most sought after gunsmith by wealthy customers in England, Scotland and America. There are very few Relief Carved Lehigh County rifles. One unusually fine example is the iconic unsigned rifle attributed to Jacob Kuntz that was used on the logo for the Kentucky Rifle Association’s 50th Anniversary in 2012 and is included in their Presidents display CD of Lehigh County rifles. This rifle has the same features and relief carving but is signed by the maker, Jacob Kuntz. This very important rifle provides important evidence of the Relief Carving style used on early Kuntz rifles. Jacob Kuntz rifles have been on display in the Arms and Armor exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for over a decade.

CONDITION: The Kuntz signature is worn but readable. There is about three inches of brass wire inlay missing under the patch box door at the butt plate that can easily be restored. There is a short insignificant break in the underside of the stock between the lock and trigger guard. Each of these rifles, this signed one and its unsigned twin, have had their fore ends painstakingly and professionally restored and their locks replaced. The unsigned rifle traded hands on various occasions over the years finally selling at a recent James D. Julia Firearms Auction where it realized $ 55,000. These are the only two relief carved Kuntz rifles we are aware of that have surfaced to date with this quality carving. 53105-3 RGG (12,000-16,000)

OUTSTANDING RELIEF CARVED JOHN BONEWITZ BERKS COUNTY RIFLE. NSN. Overall – 58”. Butt Plate 1 3/4” Wide The 42 ¼” full octagon smooth bore barrel is unsigned. Bonewitz rarely signed his rifles. This rifle has a four piece nicely engraved brass patch box with typical Bonewitz engraving. The patch box catch is fastened with two rivets, typical of Bonewitz’s work. The flint lock is hand forged German style. The rifle has the best relief carving we can recall having seen to date on the cheek side of the butt along with Bonewitz’s “signature” serpentine chain carving under the cheek piece. The relief carving on the cheek side of the butt forward and rear of the cheek piece is very deep and extremely well executed. Carving under the cheek flows into the wrist carving, also characteristic of Bonewitz’s design. The rifle is nicely relief carved around the barrel tang. The cheek piece inlay is an eight-pointed star held in place by a small wood screw. The rectangular toe plate is nicely engraved and there is attractive incised carving at the rear ramrod ferrule. The rifle has a single trigger and a curly maple stock. John Bonewitz is listed in the 1792 and 1800 tax lists of Heidelberg Township, Berks County. He worked in the town of Womelsdorf, a town in Heidelberg Township, originally called Middletown. Bonewitz is one of four masters of the Womelsdorf School who worked from at least 1779-1809. CONDITION: Outstanding carved and engraved Kentucky rifles have been accepted all over the world as examples of fine quality American Art. This outstanding relief carved rifle by Master Gunsmith John Bonewitz, Womelsdorf PA, is a superb example of one of the finest relief carved Bonewitz rifles we have ever handled. In the fine art field when a rare irreplaceable piece of art has been damaged it is often restored to its original beauty. This rifle has been restored from the wrist forward and the barrel and lock have been replaced. Some previous owner, in 1983, loved this gun enough to spend a great deal to have it expertly preserved for future generations. The rifle was restored by one of our countries best, Mr. Jack Brooks of Evergreen Colorado. The restoration cannot be seen without dismantling the rifle. If you are not inclined to spend tens of thousands for a complete all original Bonewitz whose carving is probably not as fine, this is an outstanding and reasonably priced alternative. 53105-1 RGG (12,000-18,000)

SIGNED JOHN MOLL JR. ALLENTOWN, LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA RIFLE. SN NA. Overall Length is 59-1/2”, butt dimensions are 1 3/8” Wide x 4” High. This rifle has a 43 5/8” full octagon signed smooth bore .45 caliber barrel. Rifle has John Moll’s traditional two-piece fleur-de-lis brass patch box, a typical Lehigh County sheath type butt, trigger guard with stud forward of the bow, brass nose cap notched for ramrod and heavy brass arrow back side plate.

The very small cheek piece is typical of John Moll’s rifles. “London Warranted” flint lock appears to be original flint. Stock profile displays a slight second radius beginning at the end flange of the trigger guard, desirable in Lehigh County guns.

Stock is hand striped and retains much of its original red finish and striping. The Moll family of gunsmiths was unique in that they signed the vast majority of their guns while a great number of gunsmiths did not. Much has been written about the famous Moll family of gunsmiths who were active in and around the Allentown area for over a hundred years from before the Revolution until almost the end of the 19th century. The first John ( Johannas) Moll is listed in tax records in 1764.

Johannas had a son John Jr. born in 1773 who carried on his father’s business on North 7th Street in Allentown during and after the War of 1812. CONDITION: Clean and sound throughout. Hand striping shows minimal normal wear. Black light inspection shows no indication of any fore end wood replacement. Very Good overall. 53105-4 RGG (8,500-11,000)

3148. KUTZTOWN “PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH” CARVED PETER ANSTAT RIFLE. NSN. Overall Length of rifle us 67-3/4”. Butt dimensions are 1-3/4” wide and 4” high. This rifle has a 44-1/2” full octagon smooth bore .65 caliber unsigned barrel. Peter Anstat rifles are sought after by collectors and students of Pennsylvania Dutch Folk Art. Peter’s simple incised carving style is universally accepted as among the best Folk Art available in the Kentucky rifle field. The four-piece brass patch box is lightly engraved and its side-panels flare out to extend from toe to comb at the rear. The hand forged Pa. German lock is unmarked. There is a wide brass decorative plate with scalloped edge from toe to comb on the cheek piece side of the butt. Of further interest is the unique and dramatic incise carving rear of the cheek-piece which presents a well done carved Eagle with shield. Barrel tang carving is Anstat’s typical Kutztown “Dutch” style. The engraved brass side plate has two piercings. The cheek piece inlay is lightly engraved with an upside down Eagle. The 6-1/2” long toe plate and 10” brass saddle-plate are not engraved.

The trigger guard is engraved and its bow features Peter’s “signature” asterisk design. The entire stock is profusely incised carved including the fore end with an incised line on both sides that encircles each of the three barrel wedges and inlays. The rural area of Maxatawney Township Pennsylvania is considered by many to be the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, and Kutztown is its largest town. The plain Maple stock has a Dutch reddish tint finish. In his landmark book Joe Kindig notes in his opinion “Peter is the most interesting gunsmith of the Anstat family”. CONDITION: Carving is sharp and clear. Black light inspection reveals no evidence of any added fore end wood. Finish shows only normal age related wear. Rifle is very good overall. 53105-5 RGG (8,000-12,000)

3149. BEAUTIFUL CURLY MAPLE FLINTLOCK DAVID POLLOCK, ALLEGHENY COUNTY PA RIFLE. SN NA. This rifle has a 44 7/8” full octagon .45 caliber rifled barrel signed “D. Pollock”. Rifle is 60” in overall length, butt dimensions are 4-1/2” High x 1-1/2” wide. This rifle has an apparently original flint lock marked “C. Robbins” and an outstanding and beautiful curly maple stock. The fourpiece brass patch box is nicely engraved featuring five piercings. The rifle has double set triggers. The stock has a scallop molding incise carved along the bottom edge of the butt from toe to trigger guard. David Pollock is listed as having worked in Allegheny County Pennsylvania as a gunsmith from 1820 to 1846. In 1846 he built a mill on Saw Mill Run in Baldwin Township, Allegheny Township after which he apparently gave up gunsmithing. (Reference “Article and photo in “The Longrifles of Western Pennsylvania Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties” by Richard Rosenberger & Charles Kaufmann).

David Pollock’s rifles closely resemble those made by Thomas Allison, John Fleeger and Samuel McCosh. CONDITION: The condition of the stock is sound and unrestored from end to end and its beautiful curl is uniform throughout. The rifle is of high quality. There are two small wooden plugs in the top of the wrist, one each side of the silver wrist inlay, where an added target sight has been removed. These plugs could be redone and hidden if desired. 53105-2 RGG (3,500-5,500)

CONDITION: Fair to good overall. Gun appears orig and complete though lock which appears orig flint is better than the rest of the gun. This appears to be a re-conversion utilizing a complete orig lock. Metal overall is a mottled brown/grey with good lock markings and partially discernible bbl markings including eagle head, “S” from US cartouche, “V” and SN which in part reads “841”. Stock appears orig and complete with several cracks including crack repair to left side of forestock between front bands, refinished with varnish finish.

Cal. 70. 423/4” rnd bbl marked on breech with eagle head over “P” in raised cartouche, “US” in raised cartouche and SN “12893” which would denote this gun was made in the 4th quarter of 1809 as by the end of 1809, 13,238 guns had been finished in the first 9 years of production, beginning in 1801. This gun appears orig and correct, though bbl length is shorter than the 44-45” expected, however the muzzle extension of 3-1/8” appears appropriate with no modifications noted to forestock or band. Inspectors cartouche in stock is discernible but light. Lock markings are especially crisp and no other markings noted.

PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good overall. Iron is cleaned and is overall grey and bright. The bayonet stud has been filed and mis-shaped. Stock has old repaired crack rear of lock and above wrist, restored with an iron pin. Otherwise, stock seems fairly sound with hand worn patina.

Metal overall mottled grey with staining and pitting. Gun appears orig with matching secondary number “6” found on most parts including bands and lock escutcheon. Frizzen pan and frizzen spring are possibly orig parts, though cock has dissimilar color and more pitting then other lock components. Stock is sound with hand worn patina and the expected cosmetic blemishes after 200 years. Mechanically functional with smooth clear bore. 53079-6 (2,500-3,500)

3154. RARE 1819 DATED 2nd MODEL VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY RIFLE WITH BRASS PATCHBOX. NSN. Cal. 48. 39” full oct bbl. Virginia Manufactory rifles are all quite rare, even though 1819 dated examples are among the most common, there were still only 197 produced that year. However, finding these guns in any configuration is quite difficult. This gun appears to be a well disguised re-conversion, but was not disassembled. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Good to very good. Gun appears all orig, though old lock components probably utilized in re-conversion. Metal has been cleaned showing old pitting overall, now a mottled grey/brown. Brass mounts have a medium mustard patina. The stock has been refinished with several crack repairs.

Mechanically sound with clear rifled bore. But all in all, a good representative example of a rarely seen Virginia rifle. 53079-7 JS (3,500-4,500) 157

EXCEPTIONALLY RARE 8 BORE WATER-FOWLER BY JOSEPH H. GREENER, ELDER BROTHER OF WILLIAM WELLINGTON GREENER. NSN. Cal. 8 bore. 3-1/4” Chambers. Not only is this gun unusual in that it is a fairly high condition 8 bore water-fowler, but it was made

by Joseph H. Greener; family lore relates that his younger brother William Wellington, the now famous gunmaker, “marched his brother Joseph off to Liverpool docks and gave him money to emigrate to Australia, because there was only enough room for one Greener to make guns in the United Kingdom.” Guns made by Joseph H. Greener are exceptionally rare; only one, a muzzle loader, is illustrated or described in THE GREENER STORY by Graham Greener. This very well made large bore breech loading example has 32” laminated steel bbls engraved “Joseph H. Greener Maker St. Mary’s Birmingham” on swamped game rib. Large Jones under lever action with nicely filed fences is fitted with back action nonrebounding locks having tall serpentine hammers. Action and locks are engraved with 60% coverage very well cut scroll, and with “J. H. Greener” on each lockplate. Nicely stump figured European walnut straight grip buttstock with spur of trigger guard forming grip, measures 14-1/2” over 2” weighted hard rubber buttplate. Near fully checkered splinter forend with inset horn tip has typical sliding side bolt release. Bore diameter at muzzles: left -.857, right - .857. Wall thickness: left - .052, right - .044. Drop at heel: 3-7/16”, drop at comb: 2-1/8”. Cast about 1/2” off. Weight: 13 lbs. 4 oz. LOP: 14-1/2” CONDITION: Very good to fine, original, as found. Bbls retain 70 - 80% of their orig Damascus finish, considerably darkened and lightly frosted. Action and locks retain a considerable amount of their orig case hardening color, difficult to determine due to accumulated grime. Stocks retain most of their orig finish. Thick buttplate appears to be a later addition, but is possibly orig.

Bores are good, scattered pitting throughout, but nothing real deep. Action is tight. Locks are fine. 52994-2 (3,000-5,000)

Mr. Scagel’s knives have been the inspiration for numerous custom knife-makers ever since.

He even made corkscrews. His knives rarely come to market. CONDITION: Good, no original finish remains with the blade a cleaned gray metal patina with some fine surface etching.

Procurement records at Rock Island Arsenal document that the government purchased over 2-1/2 million of these knives during 1943 and 1944.

This collection contains examples of most every known manufacturer and variations with blade markings and guard markings. Makers represented include Camillus, Utica, Henry Boker, PAL, Imperial, Case, Aerial Cutlery Company, Kinfolks, and Kiffe, Japan on an M4. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Most knives are very good to fine condition overall with either leather or composite scabbards.

Warning: Neither James D. Julia auctioneers, their consignors, employees or agents warrant the safety or the shootability of any firearm in this catalog. All firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items. If you wish to attempt to shoot them you must have the weapons examined by a competent gunsmith who will test the weapon for its shootability and also to ensure that the caliber of the breech is in fact the caliber that is thought to be. Since all firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items, they are not examined, tested or warranted by James D. Julia’s consignor, employees, or agents. Please be sure that if you attempt to fire the gun, you have it properly checked for safety by a competent gunsmith.

James D. Julia, Inc. Policy on NFA Firearms Collecting Class 3 Weapons can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. In the United States, many, but not all citizens of the U.S. have the right to purchase and own machine guns. This is true in most states of the United States but not all states. It is your specific responsibility to determine your right to own and possess a Class 3 weapon before you bid on it. Once you have bid on a lot and won it, you are responsible for payment of that lot, regardless of whether you can own it or not. If you have purchased a lot and later find out that because of the state you live in or for other reasons that you cannot personally own it yourself, you will still be required to pay for the object and we will discuss options open to you including selling it for you at a future sale.

All buyers of Class 3 items must pay for their purchases immediately.

Then, subject to federal law, the guns must be properly transferred in compliance with BATFE rules. This procedure normally takes a matter of a few months. As per the conditions of our sale in the front of the auction catalog, all warranties regarding items in this catalog expire 45 days after the auction, once we have paid the consignor. Subsequently, if you have successfully purchased a Class 3 item, it is your responsibility to examine it or to have someone examine it for you immediately, within those 45 days. If a problem is discovered after 45 days there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. We cannot make adjustments or cancel the sale. Also please understand that if for any reason you cannot get cleared by BATFE to obtain the right to take possession of the firearm you purchased, then we will discuss options open to you including selling it for you at a future sale. Without appropriate approved transfer you cannot take possession of the firearm. If there are any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact us prior to bidding on any Class 3 items. There are no exceptions to the above rules. Please bear that in mind before you bid on Class 3 items.

First and foremost, All NFA Rules Apply. All Class 3 firearms must be registered and properly transferred in compliance with BATFE rules. Class 3 Firearms we may be dealing with include the following; Machine Guns (MG), (Transferable, Pre-86 Dealer Samples and Post-86 Dealer Samples), Silencers, Destructive Devices (DD), Short Barreled Rifles (SBR), Short Barreled Shotguns (SBS) and Any Other Weapon (A.O.W.). If you are an individual who resides in an area where these firearms are legal, you may bid on these items. You are responsible for knowing your State and Local laws.

In order to complete the purchase of a Class 3 firearm to a non-licensed, non-Special Occupational Taxpayer: a. You must pay JDJ Inc. in full for the item(s). b. You must provide JDJ Inc. with the information on whom the gun will be legally transferred to. c. JDJ Inc. will supply all the proper forms after the payment of your balance with JDJ Inc. d. You will need 2 passport photos, 2 sets of fingerprints, and complete in duplicate ATF Form 5330.20 Certificate of Compliance, and the appropriate BATFE form. If there are any State or local forms required you will be responsible for obtaining these.

Regardless of the specific type and status of Class 3 firearm, receiving approval from the BATFE for the transfer to an individual usually takes approximately 180 days from the time the BATFE receives the completed paperwork. Transfer to a licensed Class 3 dealer usually takes approximately 45-60 days.

If you are a non-licensed individual the BATFE transfer fee for most NFA firearms (Machine Gun, Destructive Device, Silencer, Short Barreled Rifle, and Short Barreled Shotgun) is $200.00 with the exception of those 273

narrowly classified as Any Other Weapon (AOW) which has a transfer fee of $5.00.

Transfer fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Outstanding balances to JDJ Inc. for your Class III firearm purchase must be paid before any transfer paperwork can be submitted to BATFE. Gun laws have been changing, and you must confirm for yourself the current State and local laws which may apply. It is our understanding (but you must confirm for yourself ) that Machine Guns may not easily be owned (if at all) by individuals in CA, DE, HI, IL, IA, KS, MI, NC, NJ, NY, RI and WA. There are some “special” exceptions in a few of these states that are “rarely issued” so while it is possible, this list should be a general rule. Please look into your own particular state law ahead of time when contemplating a bid. For more specific ownership information on NFA firearms, please visit the website of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives directly at www.atf.gov.

If you are an individual (Non FFL/SOT) and reside in the State of Maine we can transfer the firearms to you directly on an approved BATF Form 4, or Form 5 (subject to above rules) if you are the winning bidder. If you are an individual who resides in another State we will need to transfer the Class 3 firearm to a Class 3 Dealer in your State to complete the transfer with you. Please understand that there is usually an additional fee from this third party for them to handle your transfer. If you are a Curio and Relic license holder in another State, and there are no State or local prohibitions, you may apply for the transfer of a Curio & Relic qualified machine gun directly from JDJ Inc. through the BATF using the appropriate forms and process.

Not all Class 3 may be purchased by individuals and most specifically, anything termed as a “Dealer sample machine gun” can only be transferred from JDJ Inc. to valid Class 3 dealers. All Dealer Samples in our catalog are clearly designated and most of them have been grouped together with a designation at the beginning of the title with three asterisks (***) and the initials “DS” as well as the words “Dealer Sample” in the title. If you have any question as to whether the lot is a Dealer Sample or not, please be sure to check with us.

If you are not a Class 3 dealer, you may still purchase what is referred to as a Dealer Sample at our auction. However, this gun may only be transferred to a current Class 3 dealer. What some people have done is purchase a “Dealer Sample” gun, then had it transferred to a dealer friend. This Dealer Sample gun remains in the dealer’s possession, and the buyer may then join their dealer friend at the range from time to time and enjoy the gun.

Julia’s wants to be absolutely clear that a bidder who bids on, and wins an item becomes the owner. It is up to the buyer to make arrangements and agreements with any dealers to receive and possess the guns. Perhaps only to hold for a period of time until the buyer applies for, and receives their own Class 3 dealer’s license. The BATFE will not approve the transfer of a dealer sample machine gun from JDJ Inc. to someone who is not an FFL holder AND a Special Occupational Taxpayer.

If you have a question about the transfer and ownership of machine guns, and about the status of the gun(s) you wish to bid on at auction, please contact us and our staff at James D. Julia inc. will do their best to help you.

Remember, it is your responsibility prior to the purchase to make certain that you may legally purchase and possess a machine gun.

James D. Julia, Inc. Matching $5 for $5 NRA Foundation Donation A portion of the late Mr. Bruce Stern’s firearms collection was included in our March 2008 auction. Mr. Stern was a passionate collector and staunch supporter of our 2nd Amendment Rights to collect, shoot and bear arms. As proof of his staunch beliefs, he was a very active member of the NRA and his wife and family made a significant donation to the NRA in memory of Mr. Stern. In support of Mr. Stern’s strong beliefs, James D. Julia has announced a new $5 for $5 Pledge to benefit the NRA Foundation.

In 2004, after handling the renowned Eldon Owens firearms collection, we learned of the Owens commitment to the NRA via a significant donation from his estate. At that time, moved by his conviction, we made a pledge to the NRA Foundation to donate $100,000. We are pleased and proud to announce that this pledge has been fulfilled and there is now a special fund whose proceeds will be used in perpetuity for the sole purpose of educating youth in shooting firearms skills and safety. It is the firm belief of James D. Julia Auctioneers that if we wish to continue to possess, collect, shoot and handle firearms it is going to be imperative that we continue to fight for our rights. The NRA works hard at generating monies to deal with the various anti-gun legislation that we are continually confronted with but money alone is not the answer. It is our sincere belief that we

275

also must continually maintain and increase a constituency of interested citizens who wish to continue to collect, handle and shoot firearms. To that extent we have designated that our fund be to continually encourage youth interest in guns and shooting sports.

James D. Julia has made an additional pledge to the NRA Foundation.

Each time we sell a firearm, we will make a suggestion to buyers for a donation of $5 to the NRA Foundation and for any customer who makes a donation James D. Julia Auctioneers will match up to $5 per gun to be donated to the NRA Foundation. If you wish to donate less than $5, we will match that amount. If you wish to donate more than $5 per gun, we will match up to $5.

After the auction and the donation is made from this auction, we will send a notice to everyone that has participated advising them of what the total donation was. The donation will go to the special fund mentioned above, which we have already begun in the NRA Foundation. Please consider joining us in supporting this very worthy endeavor. Thank you.

Sincerely, Jim and Sandy Julia

Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Bidding It’s always best to attend the auction in person to bid on the items you wish, but if for some reason you can’t attend, there is no reason that you can’t obtain some of the items that you would like to purchase. At Julia’s, absentee bidding is always a convenient, easy and safe means of acquiring items that you want. As you can see, our specialty catalogs illustrate all lots to be sold, and as well give a complete description which includes condition. These descriptions, as per the conditions of our sale in the front of your catalog, are guaranteed against major discrepancies with a major impact on the value. If there are some items here that you think you would like to own but can’t attend the auction, we have many options to help you bid without being in the audience.

time the lot is coming up and you may bid over the telephone on the lots as they are being sold. Remember phone bids must be arranged well in advance of the auction (see instructions above on how to leave a bid). Also please remember there are a limited number of phones available, so if you would like to phone bid, you should make your arrangements early. c.

If you are the winning bidder, after the auction you will receive an invoice via email and then in the mail from us. Typically the email invoices are sent out within 24 hours after the auction, and the paper invoice is sent out 2 business days after the auction..

Bidding Options a. Leave a Bid Send in the form in your catalog or download a bid form from our website http://jamesdjulia.com/absentee-bidding/.

You can fax the form to us, email it to us, or call us with your absentee bid. A valid credit card is required. Your account is charged only if you are delinquent in making your payment.

If you provide us with your email address, we will send you a confirmation email to verify the lot numbers, description and amount of your bid. Please review this confirmation to make sure that everything is entered properly.

Remember, at Julia’s, the way we conduct the absentee bids, it’s entirely possible to buy something for less than your top bid since your bids are executed competitively by our team in an attempt to buy the lot as reasonably as possible, just as though you were in attendance. b.

Phone Bids On the more expensive lots, ($500+ and up) if you feel you would really like to purchase them and not be restrained by the process of a written bid, we can make arrangements to call you at the

You may view any of these items and submit bids up to 2 weeks prior to the auction by following their registration and absentee bid instructions. Specific information on how to do this is available on each of their sites. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium.

2.

How Do I Set Up a Phone Bid? Simply send in your bid form from your catalog or download a bid form from our website www.jamesdjulia.com/absentee-bidding/ and mark the bid as a phone bid, email it to us at bid@jamesdjulia.com, fax it to us at 207-453-2502 or call into the office 207-453-7125 to register for the lots for which you would like to bid on the telephone.

3.

How Do I Register to Bid Online?

To register, contact the online bidding service, Invaluable at www. invaluable.com, www.bidsquare.com (included only during Lamps & Glass and Fine Art auctions) or www.proxibid.com (included only during Firearms auctions) at www.proxibid.com and register in advance of the auction. You will be notified that you have been approved to bid and your registration will be complete. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform.

4.

How Do I Bid Live Through the Internet Bidding Platforms?

You will need to register for the auction with the third party online bidding platform first. Once you have been registered, watch for your lot. When the lot comes up for bid, a window will display a price the auctioneer is asking for. If the window is flashing $5,500, it means the auctioneer is asking for $5,500. As the auctioneer receives that bid and then asks for a higher bid a new amount will flash in that window. If you have registered to bid you may bid in the auction by simply clicking the bid button on your screen. Regardless of where you are in this country or where you are in the world it will automatically register on a computer at our auction site where a technician will see your bid and bid on your behalf. This innovation allows you to bid livetime during the auction. Online bidding allows the bids to be almost instantaneously transferred to you and to us, so subsequently you can bid within the confines of that time. There are some people who like to bid this way and some of our clients have found it both interesting and convenient to do so. If you have any questions about this please don’t hesitate to call our office, or contact Invaluable, BidSquare (included only during Lamps & Glass and Fine Art auctions) or Proxibid (included only during Firearms Auctions).

5.

How Much Time Do I Have to Bid on a Lot? If the asking bid is something you are willing to pay, do not hesitate.

For the most part, the auctioneer does not stop or slow down, he simply moves along at a very brisk pace. It is always assumed by the auctioneer that the bidder knows what they want to bid and if they do not bid or hesitate to bid, it means they are not interested.

The auction process moves very rapidly whether you are live at the auction, online or on the phone. For anyone wanting to be successful, it is important that you know or make up your mind before the lot is sold just how high you will bid on that particular lot. Those who wish to think about it while the auction is in process and bid on impulse, will find themselves not being as successful, being frustrated and sometimes even paying more than they normally intended to.

6.

How Much Do I Bid? Bid whatever you wish, our online and printed catalogs as well as online listings offer item descriptions which include estimated low to high value range. These estimates are in no way an indication of what the items will definitely bring. If you will check our past catalogs, you will find some items bring less than low estimates, some items bring far more than the high estimate. So it’s totally dependent upon how badly people want the items.

7.

Who Bids?

There are generally two categories of absentee bidders. a.

The collector type, who seriously wishes to purchase a given lot or lots. To that buyer we encourage you to bid as high as you feel

Invaluable also provides a web tutorial on bidding for those who would like more details, along with an extensive FAQ section http:// www.invaluable.com/invaluable/help.cfm.

comfortable bidding. If you seriously want the lot you should not hesitate to consider going above the high estimate to ensure that you get it.

higher than $4,000. That is your prerogative. On the other hand, you might change your mind and decide to go to $15,000. That is still your prerogative and the benefit of being on the telephone.

The next type of absentee bidder is the person who is a dealer buying for stock or a collector willing to buy items only if they are at a real bargain. This type of bidder will often bid on a large number of items knowing full well that not everything will bring a strong price, there are bound to be some things that will fall well below our estimate and that bidder knows that if they leave a large number of bids that they have a chance of picking up a few things at a very reasonable price. Some bidders will leave 3, 4, 5 or 6 pages of bids with us, based with that theory in mind. And usually they are successful with a few items and the items they are successful with tend to be very good buys.

If you choose to not leave a cover bid and if we do not reach you on the phone, there is nothing we can do at that point.

What Is a “Plus 1” Bid? Some bidders not wishing to lose a lot for the same price or just slightly above what their top bid was elect to use our “Plus 1” policy.

What this does is empower our staff to go one more bid for you in the event someone in the audience has bid the exact same amount of your top bid or just slightly above it. The bookkeeper will then bid one more bid which sometimes is all it takes to get the lot. Typically the auctioneer raises the increments by 10%. If you submit a “Plus 1” Bid, we will increase your bid by 10% over your bid amount. A “Plus 2” bid will increase your bid by 20%.

What is a “Cover” Bid? The phone bidding system is not a perfect one.

You may be out mowing the lawn and forget about your bid. Or somehow, the phone number got transposed and the phone agent is desperately trying to reach you but unbeknownst to them, they are calling the incorrect number. Or the phone system could break down.

Any myriad of other issues can arise. If you seriously want a particular item, your best strategy is to leave a cover bid.

A cover bid is a bid which you leave along with your phone bid instructions. If for any reason at all, your phone agent is not able to get in contact with you, they are authorized to bid up to that amount.

Please note, your agent does not use the cover bid if they have you on the telephone. You are in control when you are on the telephone. The cover bid is only an insurance policy in the unlikely event that your phone agent is unable to make a connection with you. Subsequently, the only way your cover bid is utilized is if your phone agent cannot get through to you. They will bid up to your cover bid and no more.

Again, please remember, the cover bid means nothing if your phone agent gets ahold of you. Even though you left a $10,000, when your phone agent has you on the phone, you might decide not to go any

10. Will Julia’s Tell Me What the Top Bid is on a Lot? Absolutely not. At Julia’s we never ever divulge how much an absentee bid is or who has left bids. Under no circumstances do we ever divulge that information. We can advise you and assist you with your bids.

For instance, if you only have $3,000 to spend but are interested in three separate lots all in the general value range of $3,000 and don’t know which one you should pursue, you may call our office and if two of the lots you are interested in seem to have a great deal of interest in them and the third lot has no interest whatsoever, we will gladly advise you of that. Remember, under no circumstances would we ever divulge who has bid or how much any of our absentee bids are.

11. Can I Leave an Unlimited Bid? Absolutely not. We cannot honor bids which do not have a set top amount. If you want a lot very badly, then we suggest you bid well above the estimate and pick a figure that you would feel comfortable owning it at should it go that high.

12. Does Absentee Bidding Work?

Absolutely. At our specialty auctions from anywhere to 25% to 45% of all merchandise is purchased by absentee bidders. And some items are acquired for well less than their top absentee bid.

13. Does the Auctioneer Reopen Bidding?

The James D. Julia Auctioneers must conduct their auctions in accordance with UCC statutes which specifically state that when the hammer falls, the bidding is concluded and the winning bidder announced is the new owner. Because of this law, the auctioneer cannot and will not reopen the bidding because you decided too late to bid. This is a law and the auctioneer must abide by this. The only exception is “where a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a prior bid. The auctioneer may in his discretion reopen the bidding or declare the good sold under the bid on which the hammer was falling.” This is the only exception. Therefore, if you seriously want a lot, do not hesitate to bid because once the hammer falls it is sold and there is nothing the auctioneer can do about it.

14. How Do I Know if I Won? After the auction is over with, our staff will send out bills to all the successful bidders on the next business day. Please do not attempt to call the auction facilities the day of the auction. Our lines are

frequently busy with phone bidders and we cannot tie up the lines and the office staff when not on the phone with absentee bidders.

They are extremely busy cashing out customers and very rarely have time to check the records for bids at that time. If you must call, we would advise you to call the afternoon of the first business day following the auction.

but say it loudly so there can be no question that your phone agent hears you and perhaps repeat yourself. You need to understand the auction environment for your phone bid agent. The phone bidder is at a table, sometimes there are as many as 10 or 20 other phone bidders on either side of your phone bidder speaking to their bidders.

In the background and overhead is the speaker system broadcasting everything the auctioneer is saying and in front of the phone bidders sits a myriad of auction participants, many of which may be speaking with one another. Bottom-line is that an auction is an incredible arena of activity and noise and very difficult for your phone agent.

The best way for success is to be prepared and do not try to converse with your agent in the process; simply say a “Yes” bid or “No” bid. If you are silent your agent may think the call has been lost and so it is always best to let them know when you are “Out” and would like to stop bidding.

18. What Can I Do When I am Phone Bidding to Better My Chances of being the Winning Bidder? a. Know what you want to bid in advance.

15. What is a Late Bid? We frequently process thousands of bids for an auction. Please make sure your absentee bid form is received by Julia’s no later than 4:00 pm EST the date before the auction. If you are an international bidder, or first time bidder, please allow two additional days to establish your account with Julia’s If you are mailing or faxing bids we encourage you to phone our office before the auction to confirm that we received your bids. A while ago, we sent a group of eight letters out to people in various parts of the country and for some reason, the entire packet of eight letters took 14 to 16 days to get to their destination. Please be sure to call and confirm that we’ve received your bids if they’ve been sent out seven to ten days prior to the auction.

16. How Much Does it Cost? a. Absentee Bids processed by Julia’s are a service provided to our customers totally free of charge, there is no cost to you.

b.

During the bidding process, only communicate to your phone agent whether you want to bid when they ask you.

c.

Speak loudly.

d. Do not hesitate. The auctioneer will not wait for you anymore than he would for someone in the audience. It is a fact that at every single auction, there are one or two phone bidders who complain and feel the auctioneer should have waited to give them more time to make their decision. If you want to bid, then you need to bid. e.

Last of all, when arranging your telephone bids leave a cover bid as a form of insurance.

Good luck. If you have any questions concerning this service, please call before the auction and we will be glad to assist you in any way we can.

—Jim Julia

b. Phone Bids processed by Julia’s are a service provided to our customers totally free of charge, there is no cost to you. c.

When you win an item through an internet platform, there are additional service fees. Please see the Conditions of Sale for the third party online bidding platforms for more information.

17. How Does the Phone Bidding Process Work the Day of the Auction? What Should I Expect?

Your phone agent will call usually a few lots early to be sure to get you on the telephone on time to bid for the lot. Your phone agent will remind you of a few important instructions on how to successfully bid.

The most successful bidders are the ones that are prepared. To maximize success, you should study the lots and make a decision as to what your ultimate bid should be before you even get on the telephone. If you know you are willing to go to $10,000 and no more and the phone agent tells you that the auctioneer is looking for $5,500, you do not need to think about anything, you simply say “Yes.”Your agent will tell you and repeat one of two messages; either “We have it,” which means there is no need to bid at this moment or “The auctioneer is looking for $5,500, do you want to bid? The auctioneer is looking for $5,500, do you want to bid?” If you want to bid, do not hesitate, do not try to invoke a strategy, do not try to measure the “pulse” of the auction bidding; simply say “Yes, bid,” 279

Firearms Conditions of Sale - Please Read Please be sure to read the conditions before participating in the sale.

For years, we have worked hard to develop a reputation for honesty and fairness. We have tried to apply this same principle in preparing this particular sale. So that you might know what the limitations are for this sale, we have tried to clearly outline the conditions below, which will specifically indicate how various circumstances will be handled.

1. Guarantee We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. The catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee. It is a guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. This limited guarantee covers authenticity. It also covers any major restoration or repair not described. Also we guarantee against fakes, reproductions or major fabrications. As outlined above, our guarantee is limited, however, it is almost unique in a business that operates “Caveat Emptor”. This is not a perfect system, however, and it is important to be aware of that. Our intention is to be as fair as possible in our catalog descriptions but it is virtually impossible to adequately describe an antique or collectible item that has been used and shows signs of wear. If you are a discerning, highly particular customer, it is virtually impossible to adequately describe an antique item that has been used and shows signs of wear.

Imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, etc., are commonplace with antiques and with most buyers it is understood and accepted. If, however, you are a very discerning buyer and wish to know exactly what the lot is and if imperfections, handling marks, small alterations are something that are of great concern to you, then expecting mint or near mint condition, it is advisable that you not ever submit absentee bids here or at any auction house without seeing the item in person, since your definition of condition might be far more particular than what any cataloger would have time or space to specify. The entire purpose of our catalog description is to give our customers a general description and idea of what the lot is and we will stand behind that description regarding a major discrepancy only. If the discrepancy is less than major, under no circumstances would any adjustment or refund be made. This means that if you are purchasing a gun and find a small undisclosed surface crack in the wood or a couple of small chips in the wood that were not disclosed, it would not qualify for a refund.

If however the stock were broken through the wrist, that would constitute a major problem and qualify for a refund. If a small in use repair were incorporated in an antique gun and overlooked in a description, it would not qualify for a refund. However, if the barrel were cut or the gun serial numbers did not match, but described as “all matching serial numbers”, obviously that would qualify as a major problem and subject to a cancellation. If the gun were described as excellent original blue and it was discovered to have been reblued, it would qualify for a cancellation. In regards to assessments of quality or percentage of original finish; under no circumstances would we cancel the sale for a difference in assessment. If our cataloger states that the gun retains about 70% of its original blue on the barrel Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

and in your assessment after you receive the gun you feel it’s actually 60%, a refund would definitely not be considered. However, if our cataloger stated that there was 70% original blue and it turned out that it was re-blued, that’s a major problem and it would qualify for a refund. As stated above, this is an imperfect system; the very best thing that a client can do is to attend the auction and view the goods in person or have an agent examine the things on their behalf. In lieu of that, should you elect to leave absentee bids, we will protect you on major problems, but under no circumstances will we cancel the sale for less than a major problem. The purpose of our guarantee is to protect our bidders from major problems that would have major effect upon the value of the firearm. It is impossible for us and it is not our intention to guarantee to satisfy everyone; it is important that one understands this before bidding absentee. Should the need arise, the auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal corrections and provide additional information from the block at the time of the sale. Absentee bids will not be executed on items that are found to be other than described in the catalog unless we were able to contact you prior to the lot being sold and advise of this discrepancy. If we are unable to reach you or if time does not permit, we will not execute your bid. Please Note: the only thing we guarantee is what is in print in the catalog and what is announced from the block at the time of sale. Absolutely nothing discussed over the telephone or in person prior to the auction shall be construed as part of the guarantee.

Since opinions can differ, particularly in the matter of condition, the auctioneer will be the sole judge in the matter of refunds. This guarantee is limited to the following time duration and limits. Please read: A. Time Limit For live bidders it is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. If you are an absentee bidder then it is your responsibility to examine the lot immediately upon receipt. If a major discrepancy should be discovered, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately. Please note: All guarantees and options for refunds or adjustment become null and void 44 days after the auction. We pay consignors on the 45th day. Once we have paid our consignors we no longer have control for the payment and under no circumstances can we consider any refunds. If you suspect that there is a major discrepancy or problem with authenticity of your lot, it is your responsibility to contact our office before the 44 days are up and let us know that you need some extra time. We can usually make arrangements to extend the guarantee for a few days if you personally advise us. Please note: If you pay late and thus, receive your items late, it does not qualify for special privileges. The guarantee is null and void 44 days after the auction. It is your responsibility to pay for and acquire your purchases in a timely fashion. So if there is a major discrepancy, you have time to notify our office. Please remember that if you call us 46 days after the auction, there is nothing we can do about a major discrepancy except apologize to you. If you want to be considered for an adjustment or 284

refund, it is your responsibility to notify us within 44 days after the auction.

B. Limit of Restitution Under no circumstances will the auctioneer be responsible for lost profits or other financial damages.

Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be accompanied by at least a supporting written statement from an authority recognized by the auctioneers. Auctioneer will not be responsible for shipping costs, after auction appraisal fees, testing or any other post auction costs. If it is agreed that an item may be returned, it is the buyer’s responsibility to return it in the same condition as received.

C. Type of Restitution An item that qualifies for an adjustment is limited to one of the following options: 1) Major problems, (i.e. fakes, significant alteration, major unannounced restoration, etc.) will result in a refund in sale price, adjustment in sale price, or repair by the auctioneer. The auctioneer shall be the judge as to the final resolve.

2) Less than major problems or discrepancies are not part of the guarantee and no refund or adjustment will be considered for less than major problems.

2. Receipt of Goods All goods sold will be tagged and can be claimed upon presentation of paid receipts ONLY. All items to be wrapped will be wrapped by the purchaser, unless the items are to be shipped.

3. Protested Bids In case of a disputed bid, the Auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder and at his discretion may re-offer and resell the article in dispute.

4. Tax State of Maine sales tax is 5.5% and will be collected at time of payment unless a current sales tax certificate is on file or if shipped anywhere except Maine and Massachusetts. If purchases are shipped to a Maine address, sales tax of 5.5% shall be collected unless a current sales tax certificate is on file. If purchases are shipped or delivered to a Massachusetts address, sales tax of 6.25% shall be collected unless a current sales tax certificate is on file.

5. Nominal Bids The Auctioneer may reject nominal bids, small opening bids or very nominal advances made with purpose of disparaging an item. If a lot fails to open for 25% to 30% of the low estimate, the item may be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and may not be re-offered until a later sale.

6. Absentee Bids Phone, fax or mail bids will be accepted with a 20% deposit, late bids or last minute bids can be confirmed with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express number, in many cases. In such case, the bookkeeper will execute such bids competitively. It is entirely possible to buy items by absentee bid for less than your top bid price. Please Note: Absentee bids are a service provided to our customers free of

charge. Every effort is made to execute all absentee bids; however, you must know that this is not a perfect system neither here nor at any other auction house. In the event of an error of omission or failure to properly execute absentee bids, the auctioneer shall not be held liable.

7. Terms All items are to be paid for in American funds at the day of the auction. Non-residents who have not established an account with us and wish to pay by check, must do so prior to the beginning of the auction by presenting a current letter of reference from their bank or by providing references which are suitable to the auctioneer. Absentee Bidders - Directly after the auction a bill will be sent to you for the items you purchased and a total amount due. This bill is due upon presentation and must be paid immediately. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank, if the auctioneer deems such action necessary to protect his interest. For bidders located outside of the United States we only accept payment by checks drawn on U.S. banks or wire transfer.

8. Interest and Default Payment is due upon receipt. If the buyer’s invoice is not paid in full within 15 days of the auction, James D. Julia, Inc. has the right and will charge the buyer’s credit card of record on file for the total invoice amount. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1-1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 15 days from the date of purchase/auction.

All goods not retrieved by Buyer within 120 days after the last day of the auction, shall be subject to a storage fee of $50 per item per month. Buyer authorizes auctioneer to sell any goods not retrieved after the 120 day period in any manner deemed appropriate by the auctioneer and the proceeds will be applied to all sums owed by the buyer to the auctioneer under this or any other agreement between the parties. If the sale is conducted by the auctioneer, in addition to all sums due hereunder, buyer shall pay the auctioneer’s standard commission fees and 1% insurance fee. Buyer specifically authorizes any such sale to be held without reserve. Buyer shall be responsible for any deficiencies between the sale price and all sums due hereunder.

9. Reserves Some items in this auction may carry a conservative reserve. Therefore, the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the owner or for the auction house. The purchaser will be the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer.

Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below the low estimate in the catalog. Actual reserve figures cannot be divulged, but we will tell you if an item carries a reserve should you ask.

10. Withdrawal We reserve the right to withdraw any property before sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

11. Title A title passes upon the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer.

It will then be the responsibility of the buyer to make

full payment prior to removing the goods from the premises. It is both the buyer’s risk and expense for removal and must be made at the conclusion of the sale unless other arrangements are made with the Julia’s Operations Manager. Please note any lots we might make arrangements for moving or storing are solely at the risk of the owner and any damage or loss occurring after the fall of the hammer becomes that of the buyer.

12. Phone Bids At the discretion of the auctioneer, phone bidding may be arranged on more expensive items, (i.e. $500 or more). In order to make arrangements to bid on the telephone at the time a lot is being sold, you must contact our office in advance of the auction. We will make arrangements to call you just prior to the lot being sold so that you may bid over the telephone.

There are usually a limited number of phone lines available into the room, so if you wish to bid over the telephone, it is important for you to make your arrangements early. “Cover-me Bids”: if you wish to bid by telephone, you might also want to consider a “cover-me bid” at the time you make arrangements for phone bidding. A “cover-me bid” allows your phone contact here at Julia’s to still execute a predetermined bid amount for you in the case that they cannot get through to you on the telephone. Your phone agent is the only person who will have this bid and will only use it to bid in the event that he/she cannot reach you.

Assuming you are reached via telephone, they would not use your bid, but rely on your verbal instructions.

“Cover-me bids” are not mandatory, you can place one at your discretion, they are simply a safety device in the event you cannot be reached by telephone in time.

13. Agent Responsibility If you are registering or executing a bid for someone else under your number, please bear in mind that you are responsible for the settlement of that account with us regardless of whether the person you’re executing or registering for pays you or not.

14. Buyer’s Premium Shall be reduced to 15% of the final bid price, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. This is ­assuming the account is paid by check, cash or any equivalent of cash. If you settle your account by credit card the buyer’s premium then shall be the standard 18% of the final bid price which will be applied to each lot sold to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. Winning bids placed through a third-party online platform may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium.

If the Buyer’s Premium set forth on any such platform exceeds the Buyer’s Premium set forth herein, Buyer agrees to pay such additional premium charge.

15. Endangered Species Act The laws of various countries and states regulate the import, export and transport of certain plant and animal items. Julia’s has taken steps to ensure that items offered for sale that are covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) meet the standards for sale under this Act. Transport of these items may require special permits or licenses for import, export or delivery into certain states. It is the bidder’s responsibility to obtain 285

all such licenses or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any such permit or license does not relieve the buyer of paying for the item and obtaining title to the item. The company makes no representation or warranty and accepts no liability whatsoever to the seller, purchaser or any third party with respect to compliance with the ESA or with respect to the availability or issuance of valid import and export permits.

16. Safety Neither James D. Julia auctioneers, their consignors, employees or agents warrant the safety or the shootability of any firearm in this catalog. All firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items. If you wish to attempt to shoot them you must have the weapons examined by a competent gunsmith who will test the weapon for its shootability and also to ensure that the caliber of the breech is in fact the caliber that is thought to be. Since all firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items, they are not examined, tested or warranted by James D. Julia’s consignor, employees or agents. Please be sure that if you attempt to fire the gun, you have it properly checked for safety by a competent gunsmith.

17. Catalog Symbols The catalog description may have symbols in front of the title. These symbols indicate additional information on the lot. It is the bidder’s responsibility to make sure they are aware of the symbols, their meaning and their ability to take possession of the item. It is the bidder’s responsibility to obtain any permits or licenses that may be required to ship the item into their state or country. Failure to obtain such permit or license does not relieve the buyer from paying for the items and obtaining title to the item. ◊ Import Mark—The item has been marked as required by US law to be imported into the United States. * Modern Firearm—This item is a modern firearm as defined by the Gun Control Act of 1968. There are specific rules related to the transfer of these firearms. ** Class III Firearm—This lot is subject to the more restrictive approval required by the National Firearms Act. Frequently the approval can take many months to obtain. *** Dealer Sample—This lot is a Class-3 firearm that can only be transferred to an NFA dealer with proper documentation.

18. Acceptance of Conditions Bidding on article(s) indicates your acceptance of all of the above terms. Any legal disputes arising from this auction shall be settled in the court system in the State of Maine.

19. Maine Auctioneer Rules and Regulations The Maine Auctioneer Rules and regulations are regulated by the Maine Board of L ­icensing of Auctioneers, 35 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333. The Maine Uniform Commercial Code, Title 11, Section 2-328 applies to this auction sale.

Absentee Bid Conditions

Please read if you are submitting absentee bids.

1. Important Note: Absentee bids are a service provided to our customers free of charge.

Every effort is made to execute all absentee bids.

However because of the thousands of bids that must be processed just prior to an auction, it is inevitable that a few mistakes will occur. Your best protection is to attend in person, but if you cannot, please understand that this is not a perfect system at any auction house. To better serve our absentee bidders, we have what’s referred to as a Plus One and on phone bids a Cover Bid. You should definitely read about both of these in below sections and consider using them to help ensure your participation.

We will do everything in our power to execute your bids properly, however, in the event of an error of omission, or failure to properly execute absentee bids, the Auctioneer shall not be held liable.

2. All absentee bids must be accompanied by a 20% deposit, which will be refunded immediately after the auction if your bid is unsuccessful. If your bid is successful, your 20% deposit will be applied to the purchase price and the balance due upon presentation of our bill. If time does not permit a 20% deposit, you may confirm your bid by your Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. If you provide a credit card number, we would use your credit card number if you don’t pay by 15 days after the auction for the balance due.

3. To execute an absentee bid, fill out the absentee bid form that can be found in the auction catalog, call us at 207-453-7125, or you can also click the BID NOW button on our website that appears on every lot in the auction and use our online absentee bid form. All of these forms require your contact information, item information including lot number and description, as well as the top bid price (not including the buyer’s premium) and/or cover bid (phone bidders only) and Plus 1 bid (if desired) for each lot you would like to bid on.

We encourage you to submit your absentee bids as soon as possible. If two absentee bids are received with the exact same amount, the first one received will take precedence. Your absentee bid must be received by Julia’s no later than 4:00 p.m. EST the day before the auction. If you are an international bidder or first time bidder, please allow two additional business days to establish your account with Julia’s.

4. Bids are handled in a competitive manner by our staff who bids on your behalf in an attempt to buy the object for less than your top bid. If your bid is the only bid on a lot we will not start bidding, we will wait until the audience opens the bid and then compete with them until you have either won the lot or it has Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

gone beyond your limit. It is therefore possible to buy a lot well under your top bid. If two or more bids are received on the same item from different people, the bidding will open at the next increment above the second highest bid.

5. All bids must be in even dollar amounts.

Bids in fractions of dollars or odd amounts will be rounded up to the next bid increment.

Therefore, if someone leaves a bid of $ 2,350 we will automatically round it off to $ 2,500.

The following is our standard increment table: Low

$0

High

$249.99

Increment

$25

$250

$499.99

$49,999.99 +

$2,500

$10,000

The auctioneer reserves the right to change any bid increment from the podium at their discretion.

6. Open bids or bids with no set top amount or orders to just simply buy the lot cannot be accepted by us. You must have a definite top limit before we can execute your bid. Some bidders concerned that their lot might just go for one bid above their top limit, leave a top bid Plus One bid. This works as follows: The top bid submitted might be $1,000, but not wishing to lose the lot for simply one more bid, the Plus One bid allows our staff to bid one more time on your behalf. So if you left a $1,000 bid plus 1 it would allow us to go $1,000 plus $100. If you said $1,000 plus 2 bids that would mean $1,000 plus $200. Pursuant to the above table, if you left a “Plus 1” bid for a $2,000 item, the next bid would be $2,250. If you left a “Plus 2” bid, it would be $2,500. (NOTE: One possible problem that occasionally arises with absentee bids is when someone in the audience bids exactly the amount which you specify is your limit. In such a case, we would not go one extra bid unless your bid sheet indicates Plus One bid.)

7. If you wish to bid by telephone, you might also want to consider a Cover Bid at the time you make arrangements for phone bidding. A Cover Bid allows your phone contact here at Julia’s to still execute a predetermined bid amount for you in the case that they cannot get through to you 286

on the telephone. Your phone agent is the only person who will have this bid and will only use it to bid in the event that he/she cannot reach you.

Assuming you are reached via telephone, they would not use your bid, but rely on your verbal instructions. Cover Bids are not mandatory, you can place one at your discretion, and they are simply a safety device in the event you cannot be reached by telephone in time.

8. Notification of Success: Only successful bidders are contacted. Winning bidders will receive a bill via email within one business day of the last day of the auction. A written bill is usually sent within three (3) working days after the auction. The bill will be accompanied by shipping information. Unsuccessful bidders are not contacted. Phone inquiries regarding your success cannot be answered until the afternoon of the first business day after the auction.

9. Shipping: If you are a successful bidder, a bill will be sent shortly after the auction. This bill is due upon receipt. Enclosed with the bill is a shipping form. If you wish to have us assist you with shipping, please complete this form. A charge for this service includes labor, packing materials, shipping and insurance.

We require that all shipping be paid for at the time of shipment, so we will need payment in full, or your credit card information to process the charges. The Auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal or business check until the check has cleared the bank, if the Auctioneer deems such action necessary to protect his interest. Use of certified funds, wire transfers or other form of guaranteed funds will expedite shipping. Payment by credit card is 3% higher than using wire transfers, certified funds or checks. Shipping typically takes 14 to 21 days after payment has cleared (depending on shipping department workload).

The Shipping Department may decline to execute instructions to ship items which are too large or too fragile to be shipped by common carrier. In such cases, the only way we can ship these special items is by way of a letter from the buyer releasing us from the responsibility of any damage that might occur in shipping 10. Confirmation of Bids: Typically within one business day of submitting an absentee bid, you will receive an email from Julia’s confirming the lot(s) and the bid information you provided.

If there is an error, please contact us immediately.

11. Bidding on any article(s) indicates your acceptance of these terms above and the Conditions of Sale. If you need additional information on any of the items, please contact our office.
