Harry Kleiman, Animation Expert When young Harry Kleiman’s family moved to Los Angeles in 1968, the cartoon fanatic—insatiable in his appetite for all things animated—began spending nearly every day after school visiting animation studios, learning about the process, and meeting the industry’s icons: Walter Lantz, Bob Clampett, Bill Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Chuck Jones, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Frank Thomas, Ward Kimball, Grim Natwick, and Friz Freleng. These meetings sparked what would become his lifelong passion and business pursuit.

In 1980, Kleiman finished college and founded Collectors Paradise Galleries, attending dozens of conventions each year to buy, sell, and—his favorite—educate new collectors. In 1982, he was the first person to approach the Don Bluth Studio about selling their original cels from The Secret of Nimh. He also began making deals with Gary Goldman, offering cels from Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace. In 1984, he partnered Collectors Gallery in Studio City, where he was introduced to fellow animation enthusiasts from around the world.

RARE. REMARKABLE.

Over the years, Kleiman accumulated one of the most impressive animation art collections in existence, portions of which he generously lent out to animation scholars to continue broadening the world’s understanding and appreciation of this beloved art form. As an animation veteran who has spent his life studying, buying, and selling, Kleiman is eager to branch out and educate the next generation. We are proud to be a part of his lifetime of passion.

presidents and first ladies From Washington to Wilson, a presidential collection spanning over 130 years of American history 49. American Presidents Collection: Washington to Wilson. Exceptional collection of presidential autographs

representing a complete set from George Washington through Woodrow Wilson, uniformly affixed by their left edges to large off-white sheets, and custom-bound into a beautiful red leather volume with slipcase, gilt-stamped titles, and a calligraphically embellished title page, each page preceded by a large engraving depicting the president. It should be noted that most of the larger documents have either been trimmed or feature at least one extra fold to accommodate the size constraints of the album.

Highlights of the archive include: George Washington on August 7, 1786, approves a payment voucher from the Potomack Company issued to Thomas Boylan for £4.6.0, paid unto him “For Traveling Charges and horse hire for six days in pursuit of runaway servants.”

On April 2, 1800, President John Adams ratifies a land grant for “Four Thousand acres…appropriated for satisfying Warranty for Military services.”

Pair of documents dual-signed by Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, and their respective secretaries of state (and future presidents), James Madison and John Quincy Adams. The Jefferson–Madison document, May 7, 1802, concerns a land grant issued to “refugees from the British Provinces of Canada and Nova Scotia.” The MonroeAdams document is a ship’s pass, April 15, 1824, granting safe passage to the “Ship Earle of New York.”

President Zachary Taylor on July 14, 1849, appoints a “Second Lieutenant of Infantry in 2’d Reg’t 3d Brigade of the Militia of the District of Columbia.”

Civil War-dated commission signed by President Abraham Lincoln on August 20, 1862, appointing a “Collector of Taxes for the third collection district of the state of Pennsylvania.”

Lincoln’s signature is attractively crisp and bold.

Invitation for the “Eleventh Annual Dinner, Given to celebrate the Seventy-third Birthday of Abraham Lincoln,” organized by the Lincoln Club of the City of New York on February 12, 1882. Signed upside down at the bottom by U. S. Grant.

Lower portion of a document signed “Woodrow Wilson” as president and “Franklin D. Roosevelt” as acting secretary of

the Navy, on January 25, 1916. The presence of Roosevelt is essentially a fortuitous coincidence, as this volume was assembled 23 years before he became president, hence the omission of his engraving.

Taken as a whole, this is an exceptionally appealing set of presidential autographs that represents many of young America’s most important and formative early chapters.

The archive is beautifully presented in a single, impressive leatherbound volume that was originally assembled by a bookbinder in 1910. For condition statements and more detailed descriptions of each item, please refer to our online catalog. Starting Bid $10000

“I had the pleasure of shaking hands with General Washington”—rare letter from one original Supreme Court justice to another

1. George Washington: William Cushing Autograph Letter Signed. Early American jurist (1732-1810) who was one of the original five associate justices of the United States Supreme Court; he was the last judge in the United States to wear a full wig.

As the nation’s first Secretary of State, Jefferson writes to a fellow Founding Father just three days before his famous ‘Compromise of 1790’ dinner party

2. Thomas Jefferson Letter Signed. LS as secretary

of state, signed “Th: Jefferson,” one page, 8 x 9.75, June 17, 1790. Addressed from New York, a letter to Pennsylvania President and fellow Founding Father Thomas Mifflin, in full: “I have the honor to send you herein inclosed two copies duly authenticated of the Resolution respecting the arrears of pay due to the troops of the lines of the States of Virginia and North Carolina; also of the Act for giving effect to the several Acts therein mentioned in respect to the State of Rhode Island and Providence plantations; Also of the Act for relief of Thomas Jenkins and company; Also of the Resolution for the publication of treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, and of being with sentiments of the most perfect respect.” The letter is affixed by its back left edge to an 11.25 x 14 sheet. In fine condition.

Just three days after signing this letter, Jefferson hosted a dinner party at his NYC residence on June 20, 1790, which included only two guests: Virginia Congressman James Madison and, his main rival, Alexander Hamilton, the secretary of the treasury. The resulting meeting, or ‘dinner table bargain,’ produced a pact that ultimately led to the famed Compromise of 1790. Seeking to place the fledgling nation on firm financial ground, Jefferson and Madison accepted Hamilton’s proposition that the federal government assume state debts accrued during the Revolutionary War. This compromise, which made possible the passage of the Residence and Funding (Assumption) Acts in July and August 1790, is ‘generally regarded as one of the most important bargains in American history.’

Solemn 1845 letter on the death of an old friend, a spokesman for Jacksonian democracy 5. Andrew Jackson Autograph Letter Signed. ALS, one page, 7.5 x 8.25, January 2, 1845.

He was my friend, peace be to his name and consolation to his family. As it respects my letters to your father, you will please keep them, allways recollecting that they were written not for publication, but in haste and for his eye, as a friend.” Cloth-matted and framed with an engraving bearing a facsimile signature to an overall size of 14 x 23.5. In very good to fine condition, with apparent overall silking. Moses Dawson owned the left-leaning Cincinnati Advertiser and Ohio Phoenix, a predecessor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, for more than two decades. As its editor, he used the paper’s influential platform to serve as a Western spokesman for Jacksonian democracy. In addition to his friend Jackson, Dawson corresponded with several prominent figures such as Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, and James Knox Polk, as well as many other wellknown national and Ohio political leaders. Thomas Dawson honored Jacksons’s wish that he “keep them, allways recollecting that they were written not for publication.” Dawson’s collection of over 180 letters, spanning 1811-1845, remained in the family until 1934, when a descendant donated them to Xavier University. A poignant letter from Jackson, written only six months before his own death on June 8, 1845. Starting Bid $300

4. Andrew Jackson Autograph Letter Signed. ALS,

one page, 7.75 x 12.5, December 19, 1797. Addressed from Philadelphia, a handwritten letter to his friend Colonel Robert Hays, in part: “I have been anxiously waiting to receive a line from you...I have not heard from any of my Cumberland friends since I left home however I will exercise patience until the next post and see what it may bring. With respect to news, business is not yet ripe for communicating—therefore will [not] touch upon foreign or domestick. With respect to Mercantile Transactions I have nothing certain on that head, but from the many failures, and the crowd of respectable citizens in Jail, Commerce wears a more dreary aspect than ever…had I only cash, bargains might be had in that line but, all confidence between man and man is at an end, therefore difficult to obtain credit…Make my respects to your lady and deliver the inclosed to Mrs. Jackson.” In very good to fine condition, with some light staining, and professional repairs to fold splits and seal-related paper loss. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed by Jackson, who adds his franking signature to the upper left corner: “Free, A. Jackson.” Starting Bid $500

March 25, 1843. Addressed from the Hermitage, a handwritten letter to Pennsylvania Senator and future American President James Buchanan, in full: “You will perceive from the inclosed that I have been obliged to use an amanuensis. My debility is so great & my eyesight so much impaired, that often I cannot write for days, and I hope this will be a sufficient excuse for my not directly replying to my Democratic friends whose letter you and your colleague inclosed me. Not knowing where to address your colleague I have taken the liberty to inclose my reply to you, that you may make it known to him.

With the assurance of my continued respect & regards, I remain your friend.” Addressed on the reverse of the second integral page by Jackson. In very good to fine condition, with creasing, a small seal-related tear, and a small hole affecting one word of text.

worthy pair of autograph manuscripts in the hand of Millard Fillmore, who signs his name a total of five times throughout, with both manuscripts relating to the genealogy of his father, Nathaniel Fillmore.

In the lead up to the 1839 Whig National Convention, Congressman Fillmore makes known “a very general conviction” that Henry Clay “ought not, and can not be our candidate for the Presidency”

Twice-signed handwritten affidavit by Abraham Lincoln in an Illinois Supreme Court case

10. Millard Fillmore Autograph Letter Signed. ALS, one page both sides, 8 x 10, September 1, 1839. Handwritten letter to future New York State Senator Ephraim Gossin, candidly assessing Whig presidential hopefuls in the election of 1840. In part: “There seems to be a very general conviction here that Clay ought not, and can not be our candidate for the Presidency.

The elections in Tennessee and Indiana have brushed the scales from the eyes of his most blind and enthusiastic advisors and supporters. The only thing to be apprehended is that they have seen their errors too late. That our case has become desperate. But the prospect now is that Clay and [William Henry] Harrison will both be dropped and [Winfield] Scott taken up.

Either his name will run like a prairie fire or the nomination will fall still born from the convention. If the former we triumph, if the latter, the doom of whiggery is sealed forever, and we may as well at once bow our necks to the galling and servile yoke of locco focoism.” Addressed on the second integral page by Fillmore, who adds his franking signature in the upper right, “Free, M. Fillmore, M. C.” In fine condition. Starting Bid $300

11. Franklin Pierce Document Signed as President. Partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 14.5 x 17.75, October 13, 1855.

12. Abraham Lincoln Autograph Document Signed. ADS, signed in the third-person, “Abraham Lincoln,” and at the conclusion, “A. Lincoln,” one page both sides, 7.75 x 12, October 3, 1856. Lengthy handwritten affidavit by Lincoln, filed with the “Supreme Court of the State of Illinois, Second Grand Division,” concerning the disposition of a contested estate. In part: “Abraham Lincoln, being first duly sworn, states on oath that at the November special term of the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, in the State aforesaid, in the year of our Lord one thousand, eight hundred and fifty one, a decree of Divorce was rendered by said court, dissolving the bands of matrimony theretofore existing between Franklin C. Gray and Mary Anna Gray; that afterwards the said Franklin C. Gray went through the forms and ceremonies of a legal marriage with one Matilda Caroline French…after the death of said Franklin C. Gray, the said Matilda Caroline French was delivered of a child, which in the course of nature, must have been begotten after her supposed marriage with Franklin C. Gray, and while they co-habitated, as husband and wife, and that he left no other legitimate child, so far as affiant knows, or believes; that said child is still living, a female and a minor, and that its name is ‘Florence Franklin C. Gray.’” Nicely signed at the conclusion by Lincoln, and countersigned by clerk William Turney. Matted and framed with acrylic on both sides to an overall size of 15.5 x 21. In fine condition.

In the case referenced, Mary A. Gray v. Matilda C. French, et al., in the Illinois Supreme Court, Mary Gray sought to overturn her divorce in order to collect from her former husband’s considerable estate. If successful, her attempt would render the child of her ex-husband’s new wife a bastard, and neither the new wife nor the child would legally be entitled to an inheritance. In this sworn affidavit, neatly written by Lincoln in his distinctive hand, the future president attests to his knowledge of both the legal divorce and the paternity of the child. Between the desirable presence of both variations of his signature—”Abraham Lincoln” and “A. Lincoln”—and the considerable amount of handwriting, this is an excellent piece of Lincolniana.

Scarce 1864 “Executive Mansion” letter from Lincoln to his soon-to-be ousted Vice President

13. Abraham Lincoln Autograph Letter Signed to Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. Civil War-dated ALS as president signed “A. Lincoln,” one page, 5 x 8, Executive Mansion letterhead, March 31, 1864. Short letter to Vice President Hannibal Hamlin, in full: “Yours of this date is received, and the subject of it shall be attended to.” The letter is affixed inside a presentation folder. In very good to fine condition, with lightly trimmed edges, soft creasing, and some small faint stains.

In spite of its brevity, this is an exceptionally desirable handwritten letter from President Lincoln made special by three notable traits: Lincoln letters on “Executive Mansion” letterhead are quite rare; correspondence between a sitting president and his vice president, especially during wartime, is not commonly seen at auction; and the proximity of the date to Hamlin’s removal as vice president—two months later, at the 1864 National Union National Convention, Hamlin was dropped from the ticket in favor of War Democrat Andrew Johnson, the Military Governor of Tennessee, a running mate Lincoln believed would prove essential in securing the southern vote and thus winning the reelection.

Civil War-dated appointment by President Lincoln for a Kansas notable

14. Abraham Lincoln Document Signed. Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 8 x 10, January 29, 1862. President Lincoln appoints Capt. William A. Phillips an additional aide-de-camp of General McClellan, specifying that he is being detailed to serve “with the army in Kansas under Brigadier General James H. Lane with the rank of Captain.” Signed neatly at the conclusion by Lincoln, and boldly countersigned

by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. Affixed to a slightly larger sheet with newspaper clippings about Phillips on the reverse. In very good condition, with irregular toning, a split to the end of a horizontal fold, and several small edge tears.

In 1858, William A. Phillips (1824-93) the recipient of this commission, co-founded Salina, Kansas, and became the first Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court under the Lecompton Constitution. In 1861, Senator James H. Lane, noted militia commander of the Kansas ‘Red Legs’ or ‘Jayhawkers,’ made a number of raids into Missouri. Lane’s sacking of the town of Osceola inspired the novel ‘Gone to Texas’ which was the basis

for the 1976 Clint Eastwood movie ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales.’

In December 1861, President Lincoln appointed Lane a Brigadier General of Volunteers. As a fellow Kansan, Phillips immediately requested and was granted a captaincy on Lane’s staff (this commission). On March 21, 1862, Lane’s commission was canceled following concerns that a sitting US Senator could not simultaneously hold a general’s commission. Eight days later, seeing his position with Lane vanish, Phillips obtained a commission as a Major in the U.S. Army. Lane’s commission would be reinstated in April 1862, but by that time Phillips had already obtained his new commission. Phillips was assigned to command the First Indian Regiment. In July 1862 he was made Commanding Colonel of the Third Indian Regiment. In October 1862 he became Commanding Colonel of the Union Indian Brigade, serving as such throughout the remainder of the war. Post-war, Phillips served as legal counsel to the Cherokee Nation and as a two-term US Congressman from Kansas. Starting Bid $1000

President Lincoln grants a captured and dying Confederate prisoner of war to “go home with his relatives”

Silver ladle from the presidency of Abraham Lincoln—one of the last artifacts owned by direct or collateral Lincoln descendants 16. Mary Harlan Lincoln Sterling Silver Ladle from Lincoln Presidency.

Daughter (1846–1937) of United States Senator James Harlan and the wife of Robert Todd Lincoln. Civil War-era sterling silver Gorham Medallion ladle deriving from the estate of Mary Harlan Lincoln, the wife of Robert Todd Lincoln, measuring 7˝ in length, with reverse of handle engraved with a Gothic “H” and the reverse of handle bearing a hallmark and patent date of 1864. In fine condition. Provenance: The Property of Robert Russell Crans, Jr.

This ladle descended to the consignor from Robert Todd Lincoln and his wife Mary Harlan Lincoln. To the best of our knowledge, this is very likely the last group of Lincoln artifacts owned by direct or collateral descendants. Starting Bid $200

15. Abraham Lincoln Autograph Note Signed. Civil War-dated ANS as president, signed “A. Lincoln,” penned on the

reverse of a letter sent by Mary Alexander to Colonel William Hoffman, the Commissary-General of Prisoners, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.75 x 9.75, December 19, 1863. Lincoln’s handwritten note to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, in full: “Will the Sec. of War please allow Charles Alexander named within, to go home with his relatives.” The Alexander letter requests that her son, Charles Armistead Alexander, a captured and dying Confederate soldier, be allowed to return to his family. In very good condition, with creasing, paper loss to the hinge, and old tape stains impinging on Lincoln’s handwriting.

This particular pardon is unusual, and all the more somber, in that it was elicited by the family of a soldier no longer capable of making the decision himself—Charles Armistead Alexander died at the age of 20 on March 27, 1864. In spite of its brevity, Lincoln’s note captures fully the deep empathy and compassion that characterized both his life and leadership. The president on several occasions traveled great distances to meet and console injured and dying soldiers during the Civil War; that Charles Alexander was a private in the Confederacy only further exemplifies the solicitude and commiseration shown by the sitting president towards all men and their families.

Unprecedented archive of James A. Garfield, highlighted by over 20 presidentially signed letters, documents, signatures, and an elusive cabinet portrait from his brief tenure in the White House

22. James A. Garfield Archive with (22) Items Signed as President. Significant archive pertaining to the life and

presidency of James A. Garfield, consisting of 47 historical items that include documents, letters, photographs, and political ephemera, nearly half of which were signed by Garfield during his brief period as American president. As he was in office for a mere six months—and incapacitated for two of them—anything signed by Garfield during his presidency is very scarce and highly sought after. Of the collection’s 22 items signed by President Garfield, these include (7) letters/ notes, (7) documents, (6) signatures, one endorsement, and one photograph. Also of consequence is the date of four of these items, which fall within a week of Charles Guiteau’s attack on the president.

The highlight of this collection is a virtually nonexistent 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet portrait of President Garfield in a bust-length profile pose, signed in ink as president.

26. Harry S. Truman Signed Photograph and Typed Letter Signed. Two signed items, including: a historically significant TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, March 22, 1972, to Mrs. Margot L. Chadwell, in part: “I was pleased to have your letter of March 12, which I read with special interest and all the more so since you consider that by my decision regarding the atom bomb, your husband’s life was spared. I appreciate your wanting to share with me your personal experience.” Second, a matte-finish 3.5 x 5 head-and-shoulders portrait, signed and inscribed in the lower border in ballpoint, “To Lance Balusk, Harry Truman.” Also includes an official double-sided USAAF leaflet in Japanese, 8.5 x 5.5, warning the residents of eleven cities, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to flee before the arrival of American bombers. The message reads, in part (translated): “Bombs have no eyes…heed this warning and evacuate these cities immediately.” In overall fine condition.

The husband of this letter’s recipient was Lieutenant Colonel George T. Chadwell, who served in the Pacific with the 19th Bombardment Group during World War II and conducted daylight raids against strategic objectives on the Japanese home islands, bombing targets in Tokyo, Nagoya, Kobe, and Osaka. The decision to drop the two atomic bombs on Japan remains one of the most controversial in American history, and was justified by Truman for saving countless American lives that may have otherwise been lost during a military invasion. Only a handful of known Truman letters have content pertaining to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and this is possibly the only letter in private hands in which he mentions the atom bomb saving American lives.

“Trib elect Dewey for one day!

It didn’t stick” 2 7 . H a r r y S . Tr u m a n S i g n e d Photograph and Lighter Box. Two

extraordinary items: a choice matte-finish 9.5 x 7.75 photo of Truman holding up the iconic ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’ issue of the Chicago Tribune, signed in fountain pen, “Trib elect Dewey for one day! It didn’t stick. Harry S. Truman, 5/16/60”; and a unique Ritepoint Table-Desk Roman Classic cigarette lighter featuring a small image of Truman inside, signed and inscribed on the box in fountain pen to his vice president, “To Hon. Alben Barkley, From the President.” Signed photo and lighter are in very fine condition; the lighter presentation box is in very good condition.

When the decision to print this paper was made, returns were coming in very slowly and time was running out before the Chicago Daily Tribune’s deadline. The pro-Republican Tribune staff, based on the early returns, decided Dewey would be the next president. After the newspaper was delivered to the street, more returns came in and showed that Truman would be reelected. Despite their scramble to recover their mistaken papers, about two thousand copies were unaccounted for. Showing Truman gleefully displaying the erroneous paper on his train the next morning, this is one of the most famous political photos in US history. The inclusion of an original White House gift inscribed by the president to his vice president makes this lot all the more unique. A fantastic pairing, with the photo bearing one of the longest and most clever inscriptions we have seen on this famous image. Starting Bid $500

During this period, Kennedy was touring Europe in preparation for his Harvard senior honors thesis, which he would end up writing on the British appeasement that led to war; the final product would be published as a book in 1940, under the title Why England Slept. Five years later, Kennedy’s own brother, Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., would also be killed in action over England. Unique, early, and poignant correspondence from the 22-year-old JFK. Starting Bid $1000

Kennedy’s love letters to his Swedish mistress— “If you don’t marry come over as I should like to see you. I had a wonderful time last summer with you. It is a bright memory of my life” 32. John F. Kennedy Autograph Letter Signed and (2) Partial Handwritten Letters Addressed to Gunilla von Post. Noteworthy union of an ALS and two partial autograph letters (one signed) from John F. Kennedy during his tenure as a Massachusetts Senator, eight total pages, 5.25 x 6.75 and 6.25 x 9.25, dating to 1955 and 1956, each penned on United States Senate letterhead and addressed to Gunilla von Post, a Swedish aristocrat Kennedy had met by chance in Cannes, France in the summer of 1953, just weeks before his wedding to Jacqueline Bouvier.

Postmarked to February 1956, the full handwritten letter, which features seldom-seen humor by Kennedy, reads: “Many thanks for your letter. I must say I was sad to learn that, after all, you are not coming to the U.S. and you are marrying a farmer.

Thank God, it is not the one that we drove half way [around] Sweden to see last summer. Macdonald and I have a great affect on women. His friend with him from Sweden [said] she was getting married—and that he should not ever come back to Sweden. I was planning to come back again next summer to see you…& now what will happen. In any case let me know what you are going to do. If you don’t marry come over as I should like to see you. I had a wonderful time last summer with you. It is a bright memory of my life—you are wonderful and I miss you.” Includes the original hand-addressed United States Senate envelope. This is the only Kennedy letter that we have offered that displays open affection to another woman while he was married.

The first partial letter from circa 1955, also bearing some uncommon JFK wit, in part: “Dear Gunilla, I must say you looked well and happy in the photograph you sent me at the Regatta. What does ‘Lagsamling Pa Dack Fore Regattan’ mean? Something awful I’m sure. It now appears that Congress will not finish until the 5th of August—so I sail on the ‘United States’ which arrives the 10th of August at Le Havre—and I shall be in Sweden on the 12th. Where do I go. Send me your address at Bastaad where you shall be.”

The second partial letter, signed “Jack” at the conclusion: “… coming and perhaps you could make me a reservation. I am anxious to see you. Is it not strange after all these months?

Perhaps at first it shall be a little difficult as we shall be strangers—but not strangers—and I am sure it will all work and I shall think that though it is a long way to Gunilla—it is worth it.” The lot is accompanied by a second United States Senate envelope, postmarked at Hyannis Port on August 1, 1956, and hand-addressed by Kennedy to “Mrs. Anders Ekman.” The envelope also bears a stamped Kennedy free frank. In overall very good to fine condition, with a small area of paper loss to the earlier letter, and complete separation along its folds, held together with pieces of old tape; the partial letters are fine.

As reported in detail in her heart-wrenching 1997 memoir of the relationship, Love, Jack, von Post and Kennedy, who was travelling with his trusted friend Torbert Macdonald, spent a very blissful and intimate week consummating the relationship throughout Sweden in August 1955. Their love in full bloom, over the next year von Post writes in her memoir of efforts on Kennedy’s behalf to end his marriage and to bring her to the United States, all of which was thwarted by his father, his political ambitions, and Kennedy’s and von Post’s mutual sensitivity to the miscarriage suffered by Jacqueline in 1955 and her new pregnancy in 1956.

Gunilla von Post and John Kennedy would see each other only one other time, this by chance at a gala at the Waldorf Astoria in 1958 while von Post was pregnant with her first child.

Her husband died while piloting a plane in 1960 and Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963; von Post remarried and lived the rest of her life in Florida and, as noted, published her memoir in 1997. This offered group of letters was found among her possessions after her death in 2011 and originates from her estate. Starting Bid $2500

Lawrence’s guerrilla tactics as Vietnam heats up and responds to influential English soldier and military historian Captain B.H. Liddell Hart.

“I will agree with you that ‘those who frame policy and apply it need a better understanding of the subject than has been shown in the past.’ I was interested in your statement on page 6 that, ‘The ratio of space to forces is a key factor in guerrilla war.’”

Kennedy further states, “I am interested in this mathematical calculation, but I haven’t been able to find it in a search through Lawrence’s writings. I would appreciate it if you could drop me a line and give me a more exact reference.”

This fascinating letter demonstrates Kennedy’s keen interest in military history and has an important connection to the impending war in Vietnam. Faced with the prospect of a communist threat in southeast Asia, Kennedy increased American involvement in Vietnam—by the end of 1962, the US had dispatched 12,000 military personnel to the region, a tenfold increase from the beginning of JFK’s presidency. Still President Kennedy hoped to avoid combat and possibly it was Kennedy’s study of Lawrence’s success that made him hesitant to engage in guerilla warfare in Vietnam which influenced his decision to remove 1,000 serviceman by the end of 1963, with an intention to bring home all soldiers the following year. This plan was obviously not implemented by LBJ, after President Kennedy’s assassination as the American presence in Vietnam increased dramatically and by war’s end 58,000 American soldiers lost their lives.

121. John Hancock Autograph Letter Signed. Boldly signed ALS as governor of Massachusetts, one page, 7.25 x 8.75,

April 10, 1788. Handwritten letter to physician Cotton Tufts, in full: “The Inclos’d Vote will inform you of your Appointment upon a Committee to enquire into the State of the College, in consequence of which I am to request your Attendance on Tuesday next 10 o’clock at the College. I have the honour to be with sentiments of esteem.” In very good to fine condition, with small stains, a tear to the left edge, and a small seal-related hole to the closing.

On January 9, 1788, three months before writing this letter, Hancock was elected president of the Massachusetts Ratifying Convention. However, due to a recurring case of gout, he was unable to attend the debates for several weeks until January 30, when he was physically carried into the proceedings wrapped in flannel. The following day, from a speech prepared by the Federalist caucus, Hancock advocated that the Constitution be unconditionally ratified with nine recommendatory amendments, a decision known as the Massachusetts Compromise. When voting closed on February 6th, the delegates had accepted the report by a vote of 187 to 168, thereby ratifying the Constitution. Starting Bid $300

Fellow ‘Sons of Liberty’ John Adams and John Hancock sign a 1771 legal document a year after the Boston massacre and before the coming Boston Tea Party

122. John Hancock and John Adams Document Signed. Remarkable Revolutionary War-dated manuscript DS, signed “John Adams” and “John Hancock,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 12, December 19, 1771. An indenture between Hancock and Benjamin Cudworth, a deputy sheriff in Boston. Hancock had obtained judgment against fellow merchant Henry Atkins for over 198 pounds, and Atkins’s ship, the “Schooner Adventure,” had been seized and sold at auction by Cudworth to satisfy the debt. In this document, Hancock indemnifies Cudworth for any judgment Atkins or any other party might have levied against Cudworth for that sale. Signed boldly at the conclusion by Hancock with his distinct signature, and countersigned by three witnesses, which of course includes John Adams, then a Boston representative to the Massachusetts General Court. The other two cosigners are Robert Pierpont, one of two coroners who performed an autopsy on Crispus Attucks following the Boston Massacre, and William Tudor, a wealthy lawyer and leading citizen of Boston who had joined George Washington’s army in Cambridge; Tudor provided legal advice to Washington and, on July 29, 1775, was appointed Judge Advocate of the Continental Army. In fine condition, with professional reinforcement to the central horizontal fold. A sensational document dated between two of Boston’s more defining moments—the Boston Massacre of 1770 and the Boston Tea Party of 1773—and signed by two of America’s most beloved founding fathers, men who seven years later would run against each other in the first American presidential election.

May 3, 1771. Handwritten letter to a “Mr. Hunt,” consisting of legal content regarding an estate, in part: “I have considered your last state of the case respecting the recovery—Nothing is more fully settled than that the suffering of a recovery after making a will is a revocation; I took it for granted from your first state that the recovery must be said to be after the will, and I confess that your second state has not entirely altered my opinion. The case of Selwyn, as reported by Burrow, does not apply, because the reasons by which the court went upon do not appear.” The letter continues with Stockton citing other cases relative to this one. In fine condition, with two small edge stains. In his 1995 reference History Comes to Life, Kenneth Rendell places Stockton’s autograph material into the ‘very rare’ category among the Signers—an echelon second only to that occupied by the virtually unobtainable Gwinnett and Lynch.

Activists and Social Leaders Douglass prepares to depart for Haiti as America’s new ambassador in 1889 127. Frederick Douglass Letter Signed. LS signed “Frederick Douglass,” one page, 8.25 x 10.25, September 21, 1889. Letter to Ebenezer Bassett, the United States’ first African-American diplomat, who had served as minister to Haiti from 1869 to 1877. In full: “I have just received information from the State Department that myself and family are to be conveyed to Haiti by either the Ossippee or the Kearsarge, one or the other is to sail from Norfolk on the 28th inst. It is advisable that you join me in Washington as early as the 25th. This announcement on the part of the State Department is very sudden. I shall nevertheless make my arrangements to meet the exigency.” In very good to fine condition, with creasing to the lower left corner, and splitting to the ends of the intersecting folds.

In 1888, Republican President Benjamin Harrison, for whom Douglass had faithfully campaigned, nominated him to be the United States’ minister resident and consul-general to the Republic of Haiti. Douglass accepted the challenging post, which came at a time of unrest in Haiti and an era of empire-building in the United States. The Haitian government had been overthrown by the military in 1888, and a stable replacement had not yet been established. Sensing an opportunity, the United States hoped to capitalize. Soon, American gunboats were dispatched in an effort to acquire, by intimidation, the Haitian commune Mole St. Nicholas as a naval base. This placed Douglass in a precarious position—though a patriotic American in support of expansion, he also respected the wishes for sovereignty of his Haitian brethren. Eventually, he found it impossible to reconcile these competing ideals, and resigned the commission in July 1891. Starting Bid $1000 46 |

Fully functioning 1935 Enigma I cipher machine used by the German military in WWII

139. Enigma Machine. Early, fully operational three-rotor

Enigma I electromechanical cipher machine made for the German military in Berlin in 1935 (most likely by Heimsoeth und Rinke), during the build up of German forces in violation of the Treaty of Versailles prior to World War II. Based on the chassis of the commercial Enigma D, the Enigma I machine was the standard Enigma machine used by the German military throughout the war. It features an ebonite Steckerbrett [plugboard] on the front, which was exclusive to the German armed forces and exponentially increased the complexity of the code. This version of the Enigma is sometimes referred to as the Heeres [Army] Enigma, Wehrmacht Enigma, or Luftwaffe Enigma due to its military-specific application. This machine would have been used to conceal the pre-war expansion of the German military, in addition to being used in the field during WWII and likely thereafter during the Cold War era.

The Enigma machine is housed in its original stained oak case with hinged lid and hinged front panel, with serial number plate “A3192” inside the lid. Also inside the lid are the original metal stamped “Enigma” label, two spare Stecker cables, 10 spare light bulbs, contrast screen, and original “Zur Beachtung” instructions for cleaning, use, and troubleshooting. The lid also retains its message holder at the top, a metal clip marked “1914”; most examples no longer have this. The inner front panel is stamped “Enigma” and “Klappe Schliessen,” and the case retains its brown leather carrying handle on the back.

The front of the case has four small rubber bumpers added later, indicating post-war use in in West Germany or Austria.

During the Cold War, the British encouraged a few countries, including Norway, West Germany, Austria, and Israel, to use Enigma machines for sending secret messages—without disclosing that the code had been cracked.

The three included rotors—marked as “I,” “III,” and “V”—match each other with “A9592” serial numbers. Though the serial numbers of the Enigma machines and their rotors matched when issued, mismatches are typical of field-used machines.

Rotors were often swapped out at German communication outposts as they were interchangeable and not dedicated to specific machines. When the machine was issued in 1935, it would have had three rotors marked “I,” “II,” and “III”; beginning in 1937, Enigma machines were issued with five rotors in order to increase their cryptographic security. Those machines already in use by the military were issued rotors “IV” and “V.” The present rotors demonstrate a progression in design, which evolved as resources became scarce over the course of the war. The earliest rotors featured an all-metal construction, while later examples had Bakelite thumbwheels and ratchet wheels. With aluminum thumbwheels and Bakelite ratchet wheels, these rotors represent an in-between step in this progression. Each rotor can display one of its 26 numerals through the three windows in the machine’s cover. They have spring-loaded brass contacts on the sides corresponding to each of the 26 numbers, and they may be arranged in any order on the internal shaft. The specific settings of the rotors and plugboard were determined on a daily basis via a secret codebook that allowed the German forces to synchronize their Enigma machines.

The Enigma machine has a standard German “QWERTZ” keyboard with 26 white-on-black keys, with matching “QWERTZ” lighted display. When a key is pressed, the corresponding encoded letter—as determined by the specific arrangement of the rotor wheels and plugboard—is illuminated. The rightmost rotor steps once each time a key is pressed. At an adjustable point it triggers the middle rotor to step, and so on. Through this mechanism, an easily crackable simple substitution cipher is avoided—letters are not encoded the same way twice. An encoded message would be written down and transmitted, usually via radio telegraph (a standard World War II-era German

Wehrmacht Baumuster T1 telegraph key is included with this machine). In order to decode a message, the Enigma machine on the receiving end would have to be set up with the plugboard and rotor wheels in the same pattern as the sending Enigma: when the encoded message was typed in, the decoded letters would light up, revealing the secret message one character at a time. Since no original batteries have survived, this machine has been modified to accept three modern AA batteries, which are housed in a replica Third Reich battery case. Also includes two reprints of the Enigma operator manuals.

First patented in 1918 by Arthur Scherbius, the Enigma machine was developed for use in the transmission of confidential information: in addition to its obvious military and diplomatic applications, the machine found commercial use for the encryption of sensitive financial data. The German military adopted the Enigma as its primary cipher in 1926, after learning that the British had intercepted and interpreted coded German naval messages during World War I. Amidst the subsequent buildup of German forces, Poland felt particularly vulnerable—having been ceded disputed border territories by the Treaty of Versailles—and sought to crack the Enigma.

Genius Polish codebreakers—led by Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Rozycki, and Henryk Zygalski—developed techniques for the decryption of Enigma code, and turned over their research to Allied counterparts after Germany’s 1939 invasion of Poland.

Alan Turing and the other brilliant code breakers at Bletchley Park continued their important work, speeding up the time it took to decode Enigma messages. The code breaking efforts at Bletchley Park led to the development of the world’s first computers as technology was pushed to defeat German cipher machines. Historians agree that these decoded messages shortened World War II by about two years, perhaps denying Nazi Germany the time needed to develop nuclear weapons.

As a functional, early example of the German military’s Enigma machine, this piece is truly a marvel of technological and WWII history. Starting Bid $25000

We believe and are striving to obey the same gospel that our Savior taught while upon this earth, obedience to which is blest with the same gifts and blessings enjoyed by the Saints in former days, our God—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—being unchanjable, as also is His plan of salvation and the priesthood or authority for administering in its ordinances.

Women are as free here as anywhere to marry agreeably with their own views and choice, obedience to every requirement of Heaven being voluntary, in accordance with the agency granted to the human family.

Journeying to Utah is each day becoming easier as the railroad progresses, from the terminus of which stages run daily; there are also frequent opportunities for continuing one’s journey from that point with small companies, should stage traveling be deemed too fatiguing.

Within days of the Japanese surprise attack on the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Prime Minister Churchill undertook a dangerous transatlantic journey on the Royal Navy battleship HMS Duke of York. He arrived in America on December 22, in time to spend Christmas at the White House. On December 26, Churchill gave a historic address to a joint session of Congress to win support for his concept of the war. In public, he seemed to epitomize the ‘bulldog’ fighting spirit; in private, the strain was taking its toll, and that very evening Churchill suffered a mild heart attack. After concluding his visit, on January 16, 1942, he decided to fly back to Great Britain to save time—this was the first transatlantic flight by a world leader.

military From 7th Cavalry headquarters at Fort Riley, Custer questions President Johnson’s pardoning of “lead rebels” and states that he would “grant the right of suffrage to the colored men” 239. George A. Custer Autograph Letter Signed on Andrew Johnson and Suffrage. Rare ALS signed

“G. A. Custer, Lt. Col. 7th Cav., Bvt. Maj. Gnl.,” four pages on two sheets, 7.75 x 9.75, December 26, 1866. Addressed from Fort Riley, Kansas, a handwritten letter to Republican Senator Jacob M. Howard of Michigan, in part: “Enclosed you will find copies of correspondence with Gen. Alger and Col. McReynolds which I hope you will read carefully and judge accordingly. I assure you I have been misjudged although I will admit I have given past grounds. I have never been the supporter of Mr. Johnson’s policy as represented on the country I have always condemned his…exercise of the pardoning power as well as the conferring of political power upon leading rebels. I attended the Phil. Convention not to support Mr. Johnson or his policy, but with the hope that there would be amassed a plan upon which Congress & the President might unite. As soon as I saw the rises made of the movement by Copperheads and peace men who hoped thereby to regain their former power I turned my back upon the movement and in the only section when I endeavored to exercise an influence, my own dist., I was decided and outspoken against the Johnson Candidacy and supported Hon. F. C…, and as I believe increased the latter’s majority by no inconsiderable number of votes. It has been stated that the President gave me my appointment as Lt. Col. in the regular army. This is an error. I am indebted to Andrew Johnson for nothing. My appointment was decided upon by the Sec. of War and Genl.

Grant without the knowledge or advice of the President and before I had taken any part in political affairs. This can be verified by the Sec. of War. I am opposed to the idea of general amnesty, believing amnesty should never be granted to the leaders, so far as political power is concerned. I would grant the right of suffrage to the colored men but would prefer the method of impartial suffrage rather than universal suffrage. I trust you will give this and accompanying papers your favor-

able consideration and believing me.” In fine condition, with pin holes to upper left corner.

In May 1866, Custer returned to Monroe, Michigan, where he considered running for Congress. A conservative Democrat and protégé of Maj. Gen. George McClellan, Custer took part in public discussion over the treatment of the American South in the aftermath of the Civil War, and, as stated in this letter, “attended the Phil. Convention,” the 1866 National Union Convention, which, despite Custer’s personal agenda, was an attempt to galvanize support for President Andrew Johnson and his lenient pro-South Reconstruction policies.

Custer’s political entrance included a seat aboard Johnson’s disastrous Swing Around the Circle speaking campaign between August 27 and September 15, 1866, which also featured other Civil War heroes such as David Farragut and Ulysses S. Grant, the latter of which Custer affirms was the chief cause for his commission of Lieutenant colonel (7th Cavalry) on July 28, 1866—and not Johnson, of whom Custer tersely states he is indebted to “for nothing.”

Custer distanced himself from President Johnson after the Republicans dominated the 1866 United States elections, victories which led to the incorporation of impartial or Negro suffrage in the Reconstruction Acts, of which Custer, here, says he was in favor. However, in the end, it was Custer’s partisan views and consistent backing of Johnson—and opposing of Grant—that ended his political career before it ever began. On June 29, 1869, Custer applied through Gen. William T. Sherman to President Grant for an appointment as Commandant of West Point. Grant, no longer a proponent of the ‘Boy General,’ denied the appointment and kept Custer at distance amongst the Indians in the politically remote Great Plains. Starting Bid $5000

Letter to science fiction author Patricia Warrick, in part: “Well, I got it right—originally; and it is in VALIS...It is a terrifying vision and it is real; moreover, I did not learn about it from reading books on theology or even thinking about it; I experienced it, first as a problem (back in 1964 when I saw the visage of Palmer Eldritch in the sky) and then in March, 1974, ten years later, as a solution: the Logos, which is Christ or Holy Wisdom, who saves us and in fact all creation from the irrational will of God. Now, this is very scary and I am glad that finally I saw the resolution and solution, because to be exposed to the raw, irrational will of God—to perceive this as his essence—is a terrifying matter...I must have seen into the very heart of God, his very einai, esse, Sein, essence; what a thing to experience!

Mill,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.25 x 7.5, June 27, 1847. Letter to Mr. Masson, in part: “I have been shamefully long in acknowledging receipt of the pamphlet you sent me. Pray thank Dr. Russell from me for it & for the very handsome mention of my book…It makes me think better of Homeopathy than I ever did before to find that such a person has embraced it. To say the truth however, he has made me think more highly of Dr. Faber than I knew there was any ground for, since it appears Dr. F. is quite aware of the exceedingly imperfect state of his art—a conclusion which I had long since come to, & partly on the very ground which he seems to take, viz that the most opposite modes of treatment seem to be about equally successful or equally inefficacious in their practical results. Homeopathy no doubt has often been successful, or seemed so, but so has every new theory of medicine that has ever had partisans. I am not, however, at all prejudiced against Homeopathy. I know some of the facts which it is supported by & am very ready to back more of them.” In fine condition, with light toning, and a short split, along the hinge. Starting Bid $200

I read Mrs. Goldberg’s letter first and learned that she had finished her thirteenth reading of the book. That must be something of a record. Anyway, I was moved by its warmth of feeling about the characters and the story—it means a great deal to me to receive such a lovely letter. Then I went on and read all the other wonderful letters from the class. They were great, and I feel very good that I was able to tell a story that amused and interested you all. I want to thank Felise Schaeffer, too, for the picture of Wilbur that she put at the bottom of her letter. I wish I could draw as well as that. I still live in Maine, but my barn seems empty and forlorn these days. The sheep are gone, there are no pigs or cows. Even the big grey spiders have disappeared. Once in a while, Templeton shows up and steals grain from the hens. The hay is gone from the mows, and the barn seems quiet, except for the geese.

Masterful portrait of Sleeping Beauty by the great Eyvind Earle

718. Eyvind Earle concept storyboard painting of Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. (Walt Disney Studios, 1959) Original concept painting by Eyvind Earle for Sleeping Beauty, portraying the Princess Aurora asleep in her bed, awaiting the arrival of Prince Phillip to arouse her from her eternal slumber. Unsurprisingly, Earle handles the nocturnal scene with delicate precision, with the resulting work ushering in a profound sense of calmness and quiet. While the bedroom’s surrounding detail should not be overlooked, the greatest attention must be placed upon the central figure of the reposed princess: her brown hair hanging over the bedside; her arms folded and her head topped with a tiara; the long blue sheet extending from bed to checkered floor softly dotted like a starry night sky. Perhaps most significant is the intimacy of character given to this piece; the majority of Earle paintings we receive offer dynamic vistas of fairy tale countryside, with the people pictured therein routinely miniscule and relegated to the background. In contrast is this Princess Aurora masterpiece, an Earle rarity that places the focal point on the film’s namesake. Accomplished in gouache on 19.5 x 9 artist’s board, with Earle signing in black paint in the lower right corner. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners. Starting Bid $1000

concept painting by Eyvind Earle for Sleeping Beauty, portraying the shadowy form of sorceress Maleficent inside her castle in the Forbidden Mountains. As is the case with all Earle concept art, the scene is vividly realized and presented with an impressive eye for both scope and detail. Here Earle restricts himself to muted colors of gray and black and softened teal to capture the spacious inner sanctum of Maleficent. To match its foreboding aura, the scene delivers a strong sense of verticality, with the high walls, immense stone sentries, and rising wisps of smoke essentially forcing focus to center and the long black silhouette of the sorceress. Accomplished in gouache on 10 x 5 artist’s board, with Earle signing in black paint in the lower right corner.

Conditions of Sale ANYONE EITHER REGISTERING TO BID OR PLACING A BID (“BIDDER”) ACCEPTS THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ENTERS INTO A LEGALLY, BINDING, ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT WITH R&R AUCTION COMPANY OF MASSACHUSETTS, LLC (“RR AUCTION”) TOGETHER WITH BIDDER, THE “PARTIES”).

This Agreement contains important provisions that control rights and liabilities, and specifically has provisions governing how disputes are handled as well as LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY that can be imposed upon RR Auction, WAIVER OF JURY and ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property on its website, and/or described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby.

Section 1 The Parties1.1 RR Auction and Auction This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction.com Internet site. The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

1.2 Bidder Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal.

The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent or legal guardian’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder.

All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction.

If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid and agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Section 2 Bidding Privileges 2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Privileges will be granted at the sole discretion of RR Auction. Additionally, Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide a cash deposit prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

2.2 Bidder providing any false or misleading information provided in connection with the registration shall be a material breach of the Conditions of Sale and in addition to any other remedies at law shall excuse RR Auction from performance under these Conditions of Sale, including the right to any refund.

2.2 Bidding privileges may be revoked without notice, for any reason, at the sole discretion of RR Auction .

Section 3 Buyer’s Premium 3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. Buyer’s premium for our Sports Auctions is 20%. 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 earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate.

Section 4 Bidding 4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. 4.2 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 re-offering 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.

4.3 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.

4.4 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 and Bidder has fully satisfied any outstanding financial obligations to RR Auction (including as it concerns aby other lots). RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

4.5 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 upon the earlier of shipment to Bidder or in Bidder’s possession.

4.6 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 lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further 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 fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

4.7 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.

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

Section 5 Bidding Options 5.1 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.

5.2 When identical 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.

5.3 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.

5.4 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.

Section 6 Payment 6.1 Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, 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 sixty (60) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

6.2 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.

6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $1,000 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.

6.4 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.

6.5 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.

6.7 If RR Auction refers any unpaid invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay and shall be liable for RR Auction’s attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction in addition to the invoice amount and interest the greater of 1.5% per month or at the maximum legally allowable rate from date of invoice to collection. 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.

6.8 RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder (as well as to the extent it is a consignor any other monies owed or due to 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.

6.9 All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. RR Auction clients with an invoice totaling $1,000 or under will have the option to pay by VISA, Mastercard, Discover or Paypal. All Paypal payments must be sent to FinanceDepartment@rrauction.com. Authorize.net, a third-party service provider contracted by RR Auction for processing on-line payments, charges a nonrefundable service fee of 3%, which will be added to your final invoice should you pay by credit/debit card.

Section 7 Sales Tax RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales

tax on your behalf. Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. Please go to our terms on our website to see the states that are affected.

If we have not achieved nexus in a particular state it is still your responsibility to pay sales tax on your purchases.

The sales tax rate is determined by the State, Country, and City where purchases are shipped to. If you decide to pick up your purchases at our New Hampshire location you will not be required to pay sales tax. The State of New Hampshire does not have a general sales and use tax. All purchases picked up at our Massachusetts location will be taxed at the current rate of 6.25%.

Pennsylvania sales or use tax may be due in connection with the purchase and delivery of tangible personal property to Pennsylvania individuals and businesses. The purchaser is required to file a use tax return if tax is due in connection with the purchase and delivery in the Commonwealth. This notice is required pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Code of 1971. 72 P.S. ¤ 7213.2.

If you have a resale number please email Sue@RRAuction.com or fax to (603) 732-4288 a copy of your state resale certificate and you will be exempt from paying sales tax.

Section 8 Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. 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 thirdparty 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.

Section 9 Title Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction 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.

Section 10 Rights Reserved RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, cancel any bid, 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, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

Section 11 Conducting the Auction 11.1 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.

11.2 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 Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any 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.

11.3 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. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve.

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

11.5 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) 7324280. 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).

11.6 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.

11.7 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.

11.8 Maximum Bids In 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.

11.9 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.

11.10 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.

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction 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 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.

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, 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 EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, 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 EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. 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.

11.12 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. RR Auction 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.

During live internet or live auction, 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 or bids (successively or otherwise) 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 above the reserve.

The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

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.

11.13 Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale 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.

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.

11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. 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.

Section 12 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 material breach or 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 percent (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 Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to 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.

Section 13 Warranties 13.1 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, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

13.2 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.

13.3 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.

13.4 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 and only as explicitly stated therein (the “AC”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The AC inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void.

Section 14 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.

Section 15 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 Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Section 16 Bidder’s Remedies 16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, officers, managers, employees or agents), or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale, , and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. Time is of the essence with respect to these procedures.

16.3 Title to Items 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, satisfactory to 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 may 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 (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction by 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.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process (1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including

asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

(2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Process, any claim, suit or action, by Bidder concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity, or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner: (1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned 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 with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). 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 within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and (2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID. 16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 17 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.

Section 18 Headings Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer.

Section 19 Entire Agreement

Except to the extent Bidder is also a consignor (in which case the terms of the consignment agreement shall also govern), these Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the Parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the auction 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 or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining parts of the agreement and remainder of the sections or terms and provisions of the section and all sections shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

Section 20 Governing Law and Enforcement 20.1 The Parties agree that all 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.

20.2 The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, any other related agreement(s), along with all claims between the Parties, including those arising out of or related to such are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute between the Parties, including but not limited to those 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 Boston, Massachusetts, unless the Consumer Arbitration Rules apply, in which case, such rules and venue will govern. 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 also recover all of its related fees and costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, if RR Auction prevails, such recovery, in addition to all remedies available at agreement or law, shall include the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. Federal arbitration law, including the Federal Arbitration Act apply to this agreement to arbitrate and its related provisions.

The arbitration and all related proceedings shall be held strictly confidential and all documents and discovery shall be held confidential and not used, published or disclosed publically or to anyone outside the Parties or expert consultants or counsel who shall agree to hold such confidential.

20.3 The Parties consent to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all claims between the Parties except as provided specifically herein and may seek confirmation of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in any Court of competent jurisdiction, including the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. To the extent such is necessary under the law, RR Auction may enforce the Arbitration award against Bidder and any related Party in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as RR Auction consenting to jurisdiction or venue in any location outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

THE PARTIES MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER AS A CLASS OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIMED CLASS, OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE ACTION UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED, THE CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OF THE OTHER CANNOT BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH MORE THAN ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON OR ENTITIES’ CLAIMS. NO INJUNCTIVE OR DECLATORY RELIEF SOUGHT BY BIDDER IF ANY, CAN AFFECT OR BE ORDERED TO AFFECT ANY OTHER BIDDERS OR PERSONS. 20.4 Except as provided specifically in these Conditions of Sale in Bidder’s Remedies against RR Auction (along with its affiliates, directors, agents, officers, employees, and contractors) for any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other related agreement(s), brought by Bidder must be brought within the earlier of the Auction Date as it pertains to the item(s) at issue or no later than one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances occurred giving rise to the alleged claim, without exception. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute bar to and release of any claims by Bidder initiated after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

20.5 To the fullest extent under applicable law and except as specifically stated herein Bidder hereby holds harmless, releases and discharges RR Auction and its agents, officer’s directors, affiliates, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, damages, causes of action, suits, demands, losses, debts, and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected existing prior to these Conditions of Sale. Bidder agrees to the Conditions of Sale and upon each instance that Bidder participates in any auction, bids, or otherwise agrees to such terms and reaffirms this release as of the date of so participating or agreeing unless Bidder otherwise provides clear written notice to RR Auction prior to so bidding.

20.6 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 conclu-

sive evidence of the Parties agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction.

20.7 Liquidated Damages for Specific Breaches In the event that Bidder provides false information in connection with registering for bidding, fails to correct or update information or breaches the Conditions of Sale by failing to pay the purchase price when due after becoming the winning bidder, as liquidated damages associated with such breaches, R&R may obtain from Bidder the greater of (1) 150% the reserve of the item (if any); (2) the amount bidder bid; or (3), the full amount that bidder would have otherwise paid. Bidder will also be liable for an additional 20% of such amount to account for additional administrative costs, shipping, additional advertising, and other damages and liabilities fees that are difficult to calculate on an item-by-item basis.

20.8 Indemnity. Bidder agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless RR Auction (along with its officers, directors, agents, contractors, and affiliates) from and against any and all claims, costs, fees, damages, and liabilities arising out of or related to these Conditions of Sale, view of items, or lots, bidding, or participation in any auction by RR Auction, and/ or or in any way connected to any item you viewed, bid upon or purchased through RR Auction.

Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, should these terms and conditions violate the law of any State should that state’s law be found to govern, or any provision herein determined to be invalid, the clause itself and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid to the fullest extent allowed. Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states: For Residents of California: SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLES: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY COLLECTIBLE DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPRESS WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER. A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law. This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction.

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows: VERY FINE describes an item believed to be in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer.

It describes items that we believe to show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors.

VERY GOOD describes an item that we believe exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example).

GOOD describes an item which we believe to have obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise believed to be exceedingly rare or important.

Bidder may call and request further details and information about RR Auction’s opinions concerning any item via phone or email which shall provided in RR Auction’s discretion.

Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired: Bidder warrants that Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall not purposely deface, destroy, dismember, cut-up into parts the item or Lot purchased at auction from RR Auction and in the event such shall occur whether purposefully or accidently, Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall refrain from advertising, promoting, or marketing the item as having been purchased from RR Auction and shall in no event display, expressly claim, or imply that the item was certified or auctioned in such state by RR Auction. As liquidated damages for such breach, Bidder agrees to be liable to RR Auction for the greater of the amount of three (3) times the hammer price of the item along with all other fees and costs as otherwise provided in this Terms of Sale.
