The NASA collection of

Leon Ford RR Auction is proud to present the renowned collection of Leon Ford, dedicated space enthusiast, beloved friend, and philanthropist. Born and raised in Hammond, Louisiana, Leon’s love of space began with one of his earliest childhood memories: attending the Gemini 12 launch. Staying true to his roots, he graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University and became a commercial photographer, though he retained his wide-eyed ardor for the celestial expanse above.

One of the first significant space collectors, Leon’s magnetic personality and passion sculpted fast friendships with fellow collectors and astronauts, alike. Gaining rare access to moonwalkers personal momentoes enabled him to acquire artifacts directly from the source—pieces that have never been offered publicly—until now. Leon’s close friendships with many of NASA’s finest is palpable in his photos shared throughout this catalog.

He also had a keen eye for the highest quality pieces and devotion to building complete sets, resulting in one of the most comprehensive space assemblages—magnificent not only in its size but its scope and quality. Beyond his unparalleled collection, Leon Ford leaves behind a legacy of generosity that touched all who knew him. Giving back to the field that meant so much to him, he donated his time, money, and photography skills, to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, nurturing the next generation of space enthusiasts.

The breadth of Leon’s collection is vast and will be offered over the course of 2015, but for this live June event, we’ve hand-selected his 100 premier items. Though Leon is no longer with us, we are honored to embody his philanthropic spirit by providing the space community an opportunity to enjoy his distinguished collection—with the hope that each piece continue to be appreciated, curated, and cherished as it was during his lifetime.

Proceeds from our pre-auction VIP event will be donated to the Astronaut Scholarship in Leon’s memory.

Complete flown checklist for Cernan’s near-fatal spacewalk: “Perform Rescue Mission”

5016 Gene Cernan’s Gemini 9A Flown EVA Checklist Estimate $10,000-15,000 Important flown complete extravehicular activity checklist used on Gemini 9A, consisting of eleven double-sided cardstock pages bound with two metal rings, 5 x 8, labeled on the front: “Part No CF55019, Dash -17, S/N 11, S/C 9, Book A.” Annotated on about half of the pages in Cernan’s hand, the checklist outlines the tasks for his EVA, the primary goal of which was connecting to and testing the Astronaut Maneuvering Unit (AMU) rocket-powered backpack. The procedures for connecting to the AMU appear Cernan during his Gemini 9A EVA on the third page and fourth pages beneath the heading “Adapter Preparation & AMU Inspection,” under which Cernan has written “Check O2 Press,” a notation that appears several more times throughout the checklist. Following the instructions for the intended testing of this new equipment is a notation reading “Perform Rescue Mission.” Each page bears an affixed Velcro tab that would attach to a strip inside the front cover as they were turned. Both the front and back covers also bear several affixed Velcro strips. Expected light wear from use, and some Velcro tabs partially detached, otherwise fine condition.

Cernan’s ambitious spacewalk proved much more difficult than expected and became compromised due to fatigue from the generally strenuous task of moving in space, which was furthered by his stiff suit and unruly umbilical tether. By the time he got to the AMU stored at the rear of the capsule his body was overtaxed and overheating, his visor had fogged over to zero visibility, and his heart raced to three times its normal rate. Cernan was able to successfully detach from the AMU but he, Command Pilot Tom Stafford, and Mission Control agreed that attempting to use the AMU was too risky and aborted the rest of the planned EVA. He labored back to the hatch and Stafford helped to pull him in safely. Despite the failure to test the AMU and make the first-ever untethered spacewalk—an endeavor that went unaccomplished for nearly forty years—Cernan’s harrowing EVA was extremely important in that it revealed shortcomings in procedure and equipment. It produced profound changes in spacesuit designs, including improved cooling methods, anti-fogging for visors, tethers, and umbilicals, and initiated the use of underwater training to prepare for the taxing zero-g environment.

Future Apollo 11 CMP’s

“World altitude record, July 1966” 5017 Michael Collins’s Gemini 10 Flown Flag Estimate $4,000-6,000 Flown American flag carried on the Gemini 10 mission, 6 x 4, signed and flight-certified in black ink, “Carried aboard Gemini X to a world altitude record, July 1966—Michael Collins, Pilot.” In fine condition.

GT-10 scissors:

“Flight time 70 hrs 48 min” 5018 Gemini 10 Flown Surgical Scissors Estimate $6,000-8,000 Flown surgical scissors carried aboard the Gemini 10 mission, measuring 8.25˝ long, hand-engraved on the side with the NASA part number, “P/N 20542,” and serial number, “S/N 118.” The manufacturer’s marks, “Weck” and “Weck-Stainless-U.S.A.,” are engraved on the opposing side. Includes the original spacecraft parts tag filled out at the top, “Flight time 70 hrs 48 min,” with property transfer information below. In fine condition. Although designed for many uses, the primary function of these scissors was to open food pouches. Flown Gemini items are less common than those from other programs, and this is an especially appealing piece as it accompanied two of the most famous future Apollo astronauts—Michael Collins and John Young—into space well before their famous journeys to the moon.

Flown penlight

with meticulous NASA “historical record” documentation 5019 Gemini 11 Flown Penlight Estimate $6,000-8,000 Flown penlight carried on the Gemini 11 mission manufactured by Whirlpool, measuring approximately 5.5˝ long, with the body wrapped in Velcro and bearing indecipherable red notations. Includes its NASA-MSC System and Component Historical Record sheet that traces the complete history and use of the penlight, noting its shipment from the Manned Spacecraft Center to the Kennedy Space Center in August 1966, the addition of Velcro to the body, preparation, and eventual flight. The entry on September 9, 1966, reads: “Installed in S/C 11, Section Cabin, System GFAE, Per SEDR H 452-11 C. L.” The next entry gives its flight history: “S/C 11, Flight GT-11, Performed, Flight Duration 72 Hrs 42 Mins 59 Sec.” In very good condition, with expected wear, overall soiling, and a rather pungent odor emanating from the flashlight; and scattered stains and creases to the component record sheet. A desirable and infrequently seen piece of flown Gemini equipment.

“Star chart used on Gemini XI launch”

5020 Gemini 11 Flown Star Chart Estimate $4,000-6,000 Flown rotating circular star chart carried on the Gemini 11 mission, 9.5˝ in diameter, depicting the constellations seen at launch and with several affixed pieces of tape bearing handwritten notations identifying other celestial bodies.

“This trout was given to me by Mike Collins in the White room on the day Apollo 11 started to the moon” 5046 Guenter Wendt’s Trout Plaque Presented by Collins at Apollo 11 Launch Estimate $5,000-10,000 Certainly one-of-a-kind taxidermied trout, measuring 9.5˝ long and mounted on a 11.5 x 7.25 plaque, signed and described on the reverse in black felt tip by Wendt, “Sandy.

This trout was given to me by Mike Collins in the White Room on the day Apollo 11 started to the moon. 1969, 7-16. Guenter F. Wendt AS-506 Padleader.” Affixed to the front are two labels, “Guenter Wendt” and “Trophy Trout.” In fine condition, with rippling to labels on the front.

Arguably the most unusual of the traditional ‘gag’ gifts exchanged between astronauts and Wendt as they boarded the spacecraft, Michael Collins describes this gift in his his autobiography Carrying the Fire: ‘There are certain amenities to be observed, such as presenting Guenter Wendt, the czar of the launch pad, with a going-away present. Guenter has spent the past couple of weeks telling me what a great fisherman he is, and how he regularly plucks giant trout from the ocean. In return, I have located the smallest trout to be found in these parts, a minnow really, and have had it, uncured, nailed to a plaque…I carry it now in a brown paper shopping bag…

Neil has entered the spacecraft, and I am next…When Neil gets in, I give the trout to Guenter and his crew, and they frolic around a bit.’ As a supremely well-documented gag gift given to Wendt by Collins immediately before entering the Apollo 11 spacecraft, this is an unquestionably unique and interesting piece.

Conrad’s lunar surfaceworn backpack strap

“Backpack strap, #2 of 2, worn on the lunar surface by me; Nov. 19–20, 1969”

5056 Charles Conrad’s Apollo 12 Lunar Surface-worn Backpack Strap Estimate $30,000-40,000 Amazing and incredibly rare backpack strap from Conrad’s Personal Life Support System (PLSS), used on the lunar surface during both of his moonwalks on the Apollo 12 mission, signed and certified on the front in black felt tip, “Backpack strap, #2 of 2, worn on the lunar surface by me; Nov. 19–20, 1969. Charles Conrad, Jr., Cdr. Apollo XII.” Strap measures 16˝ in overall length, with a metal clip to lower end numbered “B ISIS V723617-2, S/N 168.” A similar clasp is contained within a pocket at the opposing end of the strap. A label sewn to this end of the strap reads “C.C.—L [Charles Conrad—Left].”

In fine condition, with expected light wear and soiling from use. Also includes a satin-finish 14 x 11 photo of Conrad next to the American flag during his EVA, signed in silver ink, “Backpack strap S/N #168 on ‘The Ocean of Storms, Moon!’

Charles Conrad, Jr., Cdr. Apollo XII,” drawing an arrow to the location of the strap on his spacesuit.

Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Conrad, in part: “I certify that the accompanying Backpack Strap, identified by NASA Part Number B ISIS V 723617-20 [sic, D], Serial Number 168…bearing the stenciled letters C.C.—L…

was worn during both my moonwalks on the Ocean of Storms, Moon, on November 19–20, 1969…This strap helped support the ‘PLSS’ Backpack on my spacesuit during my historic four-hour moonwalks, becoming directly exposed to the lunar environment as a result! These straps were individually fitted to each astronaut, and designed for one-time use only due to their customization, for later discard with our backpacks on the Moon. We were allowed to keep, and return, a few personal mementos from the Moon as keepsakes, and I included these disposable straps among mine. After this strap’s release from quarantine, and return to me by NASA, it remained a treasured part of my personal space collection until 1992…Today, it remains among the largest, and finest, fully-documented tools in private hands ever used by Man on the surface of another world!” A photo of Conrad with the strap and letter is affixed to the lower right. Conrad became just the third human to step onto the lunar surface when he began his first moonwalk accompanied by his fellow astronaut Alan Bean. They conducted two EVAs while on the moon, each almost four hours long, during which they collected lunar samples, inspected the Surveyor 3 probe, and deployed the ALSEP, among other experiments and activities. As a vital piece of Conrad’s spacesuit that helped carry the life support system during his nearly eight hours of exploring the lunar surface, this is a truly remarkable piece. Any artifact from an Apollo EVA is incredibly scarce, highly sought after by collectors, and represents the pinnacle of space collecting.

5058 Charles Conrad’s LM Simulator Log Book Estimate $2,500-3,000 Hardcover Lunar Module simulator log book, 5 x 6.25, filled in a Grumman technician’s hand, documenting Conrad’s time in the lunar module simulator. The log was presented to Conrad by Grumman. Log shows 149 individual training sessions in the Lunar Module simulator from February 15, 1967, to October 13, 1969. Each page provides the date of training; the vehicle type and number; mission description, mostly “Mission Sim”; as well as the time, with the total hours logged being 612 hours and 40 minutes. Front of the book features a presentation page to Conrad from Grumman Aircraft and is signed along the top of the page in black ink by Conrad. Accompanied by a handwritten letter of authenticity from Conrad which reads, “This LM Log Book was maintained by the Grumman Aircraft Corporation and was given to me to show the amount of simulator and actual LM test time that I spent in the vehicles. However, it is incomplete with respect to the Apollo XII LM-6 because it does not show any of the LM-6 test runs that we made. It also doesn‘t show the last LMS-2 trng.” In very fine condition. An outstanding, and very detailed, example of the time commitment Conrad made in order to perform his duties as commander of Apollo 12.

Wendt eases nerves before the stressful Apollo 13— “Sorry but with the budjet cut this was the only ‘bag’ we could find!”

5069 Guenter Wendt’s Apollo 13 ‘Gag Bag’ Estimate $1,000-1,500 A unique white cloth ‘gag bag’ presented by the Apollo 13 crew, 15 x 26, signed on the front in black felt tip by the mission’s astronauts, with Wendt adding a handwritten notation: “Sorry but with the budjet cut this was the only ‘bag’ we could find! Thanks for everything.” A descriptive handwritten note was added later by Guenter Wendt, in full: “Each flight crew had to pay a toll for launch services in the form of ‘high energy food.’ These were bags of ‘sourball candies.’ The only food allowed in the White Room of Pad 39A. This gag bag was for the Apollo 13 crew.

Guenter F. Wendt, Pad Leader.” In very good condition, with scattered soiling.

A long-standing tradition was for the departing astronauts to exchange gag gifts with Wendt just before entering the spacecraft, something initiated by Wendt when he began giving them funny gifts to help relieve tension and help them relax before launch. Wendt later said of these gifts, ‘They were normally inside stories that meant something to us, maybe not to the rest of the world, but it relieved the tensions. The guys knew, ‘Hey, I’m going to be okay.’’ A great item with an ironic twist, as Apollo 13 would soon become the most tension-filled trip ever taken to the moon.

Apollo 15

Leon with Al Worden, both proudly displaying the Apollo 15 CMP’s mission-worn patches— lots 5078 and 5079 in this auction.

Worn during his 12-day journey to the moon 5078 Al Worden’s Apollo 15 Flown Name Patch Estimate $8,000-10,000 One-of-a–kind flown Beta cloth name patch, 5 x 2, worn on the exterior of Worden’s spacesuit during the entirety of the Apollo 15 mission. Worn on the front of his spacesuit throughout the twelve-day mission and exposed to the vacuum of deep space during Worden’s 38-minute extra-vehicular activity, the patch exhibits general light wear and soiling from lunar dust, but is in otherwise fine condition. Simply matted to an overall size of 7.5 x 3. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed by Worden, in part: “As a part of my spacesuit, this name tag accompanied me into lunar orbit. The name tag also was attached to my spacesuit during my cislunar spacewalk (EVA) during our return to Earth. My EVA was the first of only three spacewalks performed outside Earth orbit and it’s protective magnetosphere. After their return from the lunar surface, Dave Scott and Jim Irwin unloaded the rock boxes and other equipment from the lunar module and passed those items to me in the command module. During the transfer, the CM filled with lunar dust that ultimately soiled my spacesuit and, in turn, the suit patches. The dark stains on the United States flag patch are indeed lunar dust.” Also included are four photos of Worden taken at the time of signing. Emblazoned with the surname of one of just twenty-four people to have flown to the moon, this is an exceedingly rare personal piece.

Due to its constant use and exposure to the vacuum of deep space during Worden’s 38-minute extra-vehicular activity, the patch exhibits heavy overall creases and wrinkling, and a few small tears to the flag design. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed

5083 Al Worden’s Apollo 15 Robbins Medal Estimate $1,500-2,000 Unflown Apollo 15 Robbins Medal, approximately 1.5˝ diameter, with a raised design on the face of the Apollo 15 mission insignia.

The reverse of the sterling silver medal is engraved “Man’s Flight Through Life Is Sustained by the Power of His Knowledge” along with the July 26, 1971, launch date; July 30, 1971, moon landing date; and August 7, 1971, return date. This medal is serial numbered “303” along the rim and was not flown. Medal comes in its original case, also numbered “303.” Condition is mint state. Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Al Worden, in part: “I hereby certify that this medallion, number 303, has been in my possession since the flight of Apollo 15. It is part of a collection of medallions produced as memento’s [sic], but was not carried on the flight.”

Prior to Apollo 15 the entire run of Robbins medallions was always carried on each mission, but due to weight restrictions only the first 127 of 304 minted were carried into space. Prior to the mission, however, Al Worden acquired an ingot of silver salvaged from the Spanish ‘Plate Fleet’ that was sunk in 1715 off the Florida coast. Dave Scott carried this ingot in his PPK during the mission, and after Apollo 15 the unflown Robbins medallions and the silver ingot were returned to the Robbins company, melted down together, and restruck. So, despite its unflown status, this Robbins medal contains a significant percentage of silver that was indeed flown on the Apollo 15 mission.

A gold pin replaced the silver pin after I made my flight on Apollo 15. It has been in my personal possession since that time.”

5088 Apollo 15 Limited Edition Omega Speedmaster Estimate $2,500-3,500 Limited edition 35th Anniversary Omega Speedmaster Professional Moon Watch, numbered 1098/1971, manufactured by Omega in 1996 to celebrate the anniversary of Apollo 15 and the utilization of the Lunar Rover Vehicle.

Brushed stainless steel case houses a manual-winding Omega chronograph movement, calibre 1861 with sapphire crystal 18-carat red gold push buttons and crown. Caseback is etched with the Apollo 15 mission emblem and engraved with the mission and anniversary, the Omega logo, and the limited edition number. Includes the original presentation case, matte silver wooden box, certificate of authenticity, operating booklet, an Omega card holder with Pictogram and warranty cards, and additional bracelet links. In fine condition, with expected light marks to band and case from use. NASA subjected several brands of watches to tests under extreme environmental conditions before issuing them to astronauts—the wristwatches were exposed to environmental conditions ranging from 0 to 200 °F, tested under 95% humidity for ten day periods, endured bursts of high acceleration and shock forces, and experienced severe air pressure and vibration trails. After three years of extreme testing the evaluation concluded in March 1965 with the selection of the Speedmaster, which survived the tests while staying largely within five seconds per day rate. Intimately associated with the Apollo program, the Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch has become one of the most iconic timepieces ever created.

For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received

by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later.

All purchases delivered to Massachusetts are subject to applicable Massachusetts sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number.

Bidding: Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the strict reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a reoffering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder. RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all RISK OF LOSS once the lot(s) is in Bidder’s possession.

Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction.

RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders.

In the event of a successful challenge to the title to any goods purchased, RR Auction agrees to reimburse any Bidder in an amount equal to the successful bid price actually paid by Bidder at auction plus any Buyer’s Premium actually paid, in full and complete satisfaction of all claims, which once tendered by RR Auction, relieves and releases RR Auction from any responsibility whatsoever to the Bidder, even if the instrument is not cashed or is returned.

Bidding Options: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid.

When identical mail or facsimile bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.

In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction.

RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale.

All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s).

For live auctions RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion

to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, at the close of the Auction, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest Bidder acknowledged by RR Auction, and such Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require.

In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than thirteen (13) business days following its sale and if it is not so removed, and RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank.

Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks.

All others will be subject to a hold of five (5) days, or more, for the funds to clear prior to releasing merchandise.

In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment.

If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale.

In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the “Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or

its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.

All checks, cashiers checks or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

Title: Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Rights Reserved: RR Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone.

Conducting the Auction: RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments.

RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auction’s record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid and withdraw the lot from sale if RR Auction decides either that any opening bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

Reserves: Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own.

Off-Site Bidding: Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a con-

venience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

RR Auction’s Remedies: Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half per cent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any property in RR Auction’s possession owned by such Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Warranties: RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold “as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in

the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only.

They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage (the “Certification of Authenticity”). The Certification of Authenticity inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the Certification of Authenticity, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. The Certification of Authenticity is valid from date of the Auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot (the “Auction Date”) until five (5) years after the Auction Date, without exception.

FIREARMS. RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Limitation of Damages: In the event that RR Auction is prevented for any reason from delivering any property to Bidder, or Bidder is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of RR Auction, the liability, if any, of RR Auction, shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount actually paid for the property by Bidder. In no event shall RR Auction be liable for incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits, value of investment or opportunity cost.

Unauthorized Statements: Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied on by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Bidder’s Remedies: Under no circumstance will RR Auction incur liability to a Bidder in excess of the purchase price actually paid.

This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder in conformity with the Warranties and Limitation of Damages provisions of these Conditions of Sale, and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law.

The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, in the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction shall make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction).

Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand, RR Auction shall disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and assign to Bidder all of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and assignment, all responsibility and liability, if any, of RR Auction with respect to said lot or property shall automatically terminate. RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction - this remedy is as to the Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

If Bidder wishes to challenge the AC within the period of the Certification of Authenticity, Bidder must present written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field. If RR Auction agrees that the lot is not as represented, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of their purchase price, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable.

If RR Auction does not agree with the claim by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale.

Any such challenge concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Bidder’s notice to RR Auction of Bidder’s contention that the lot was not authentic, or six (6) years from the Auction Date, whichever is sooner.

If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and the AC, then the description in the AC shall control. This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE. RR Auction’s Additional Services: For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

Headings: Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer.

Entire Agreement: These Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties.

If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

Governing Law and Enforcement The Parties agree that any agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location.

The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages.

The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

The Bidder hereby agrees that RR Auction shall be entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence of the Parties’ agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall im-

mediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.

CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision.

Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction.

Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

Maximum Bids – All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid.

Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.

Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction.

Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

Bidding—Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RRAuction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor at or above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor at or above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a nonsale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion.

Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RRAuction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances

During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www. liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector. com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with “do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.
