Following the British capture of Stony Point, General Washington writes Governor George Clinton concerning the discharge of New York militia, praising their “zeal and alacrity” 1. George Washington War-Dated Letter Signed to New York Governor George Clinton on the Discharge of New York Militia Following the British Capture of Stony Point (June 10, 1779). Revolutionary War-dated LS, signed “Go: Washington,” and penned in the hand of his trusted aide-de-camp, James McHenry, one page, 7.25 x 9, June 10, 1779. Addressed from “Head Quarters,” the letter was sent to New York Governor George Clinton. In full: “I am honored with your Excellency’s favour of yesterday by Col. Malcolm, who has communicated to me the particulars with which you charged him — I beg leave to refer you to my letter of yesterday which I hope you have received. In that, sensible of the inconvenience of keeping out the militia at this season of the year, I anticipated your wish for their discharge with my warmest acknowledgements for the zeal and alacrity they have discovered on the present interesting occasion.” In very fine to fine condition.
Written during a critical phase of the Revolutionary War, this letter concerns New York militia forces called into service under Governor George Clinton, one of Washington’s most important wartime allies, in response to a major British offensive in the Hudson Valley. On June 1, 1779, British forces under Sir Henry Clinton had seized the American fortifications at Stony Point
and Verplanck’s Point, capturing the strategically important King’s Ferry crossing and threatening communications between New England and the Middle Colonies. The New York militia whose discharge Washington discusses had been mobilized to meet this threat, lending particular weight to his expression of gratitude for their “zeal and alacrity.” Written amid the American response to the loss of Stony Point, the letter dates to the same campaign that culminated five weeks later in Brigadier General Anthony Wayne’s celebrated midnight assault and recapture of the fortification. The “Col. Malcolm” referenced is Continental Army officer William Malcolm, who frequently served as an intermediary between Washington and New York authorities. Acknowledging the burden of retaining militia in the field during the farming season, Washington moves to release the troops while maintaining the goodwill of the governor, whose cooperation remained essential to the defense of the Hudson Highlands. Penned by future Secretary of War James McHenry and signed by Washington at the conclusion, the letter reflects the constant coordination required between military and civil leadership during the struggle for American independence.

Handwritten letter by George Washington to the architect of the United States Capitol
2. George Washington Autograph Letter Signed to Architect of the Capitol William Thornton. ALS signed
“Go: Washington,” one page, 7.25 x 9, November 2, 1798. Handwritten letter to William Thornton, in full: “Letters which I expect by this day’s mail will decide whether I shall leave this place for Trenton, or not. At any rate, I would thank you for having the contract with Mr. Blagden ready for signing on Monday;—the day I shall set off;—if I take the journey; and for requesting him not to be absent on that day;—being desirous of closing all matters with him before I go. If from the advices I expect, my journey is rendered unnecessary, I will write you a few lines informing you thereof by Monday’s Post;—but this, on second thoughts, I believe you will not receive before Tuesday.” Mounted, matted with an engraved portrait, and framed to an overall size of 21.5 x 16.5. In fine condition, with two small mounting stains to the top corners. William Thornton (1759–1828) was an American physician, inventor, painter, and architect who designed the United States Capitol. He was appointed by President George Washington as Architect of the Capitol in 1793, and by Thomas Jefferson as

first Superintendent of the United States Patent Office in 1802. The present letter alludes to a project which involved the construction of two townhouses on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., designed by George Washington and built by George Blagden. During this period, Thornton was serving as Commissioner of the Federal City, and in that capacity offered advice and official approval for Washington’s plans. The project began in the fall of 1798 with Washington’s purchase of a vacant lot on the west side of North Capitol Street. Inspired by a building he had seen in Philadelphia, Washington described his vision as ‘two houses, united Doors in the center, a Pediment in the Roof and dormer windows on each side of it in front, skylight in the rear’ and ‘three flush stories of Brick, besides Garret room…capable of accommodating between twenty and thirty borders…not costly, but elegantly plain.’ Washington’s builder, George Blagden, who worked as superintendent of stonework and masons at the Capitol, broke ground in December 1798. Washington took an active role in overseeing the project, providing detailed specifications for the buildings and sourcing many materials himself in order to reduce costs. Starting Bid $1000
Presidential ship’s pass signed by John Adams, permitting the brig Atlas to navigate international waters under U.S. protection during the final year of the Quasi-War with France
4. John Adams Signed Ship’s Pass for the Brig Atlas During the Quasi-War Era. Partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 10 x 14.25, January 27, 1800. Scallop-topped ship’s pass, permitting a ship “the Brig Atlas, Thomas Kimball, master or commander…to pass with her Company, Passengers, [Goods] and Merchandize, without any hindrance, seizure or molesta[tion:] the said Ship appearing, by good testimony, to belong to [one or] more of the Citizens of the United States.” Signed at the conclusion by John Adams. Matted and framed with an engraved plate and color portrait to an overall size of 28.75 x 22.75. In very good condition, with some staining and vellum loss to intersecting folds, and trimmed left and bottom edges, which have excised the lower portions of Adams’ signature. Issued in January 1800 during the final year of the Quasi-War with France, this ship’s pass reflects the challenges facing American merchant vessels as the young republic sought to safeguard its maritime commerce during the French Revolutionary Wars. By certifying a vessel’s American ownership, such documents helped secure recognition of its neutral status abroad. From the collection of Mark S. Robbins. Starting Bid $500

“I have lost all my Friends and Acquaintances in France excepting yourself and The Marquis de La Fayette”— John Adams reflects on the surviving bonds of the Revolutionary generation in a remarkable letter to François Barbé-Marbois— “With my Sincere Wishes that you may live to See your Country restored to her usual Happiness, and that the good understanding between your Country and mine may be perpetual” 3. John Adams Autograph Letter Signed on the Last Survivors of His French Circle - “I have lost all my Friends and Acquaintances in France excepting yourself and The Marquis de La Fayette”. ALS, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, April 11, 1817. Addressed from Quincy, Massachusetts, a handwritten letter to French statesman and diplomat François Barbé-Marbois, introducing young Boston traveler Theodore Lyman, Jr. and requesting his assistance during a planned visit to France. In full: “A young Gentleman of Studious and inquisitive Character, as well as respectable Parentage and connections in Boston, Mr Theodore Lyman junior, has requested a Letter from me to some Gentleman in France to whom he may appeal to shew that he is no idle or mischievous Adventurer. More than one third advanced in my Seventeenth Lustre, I have lost all my Friends and Acquaintances in France excepting yourself and The Marquis de La Fayette. As I am very desirous that Mr Lyman should conceive an esteem and affection for France, such as I feel in my own Breast, I have ventured to give him this Letter, hoping for your pardon. The Hours of our Passage from L’Orient to Boston are dayly recollected with Pleasure: and the Vicissitudes we have both experienced before and Since, make the present existence of either of Us appear a kind of miracle. With my Sincere Wishes that you may live to See your Country restored to her usual Happiness, and that the good understanding between your Country and mine may be perpetual.” The address panel on the reverse of the second integral page is penned in another hand to “Monsieur le Comte Barbe-Marbois, Pair de France,” and bears remnants of the original red wax seal. In fine condition. Accompanied by a printed French funeral announcement, dated 1869, for JeanneLouise-Georgette Courtois de Minut, Comtesse de Courteillers, through whose family the letter was subsequently preserved.
A warm and reflective retirement-era letter from the second president to one of the last surviving French figures personally connected to America’s Revolutionary generation. Adams and Barbé-Marbois first became acquainted during the American Revolution, sharing a transatlantic voyage from Lorient to Boston in 1780. By 1817, both men had witnessed the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, and the dramatic political transformations of two nations. Adams’s poignant observation that their continued survival appeared “a kind of miracle” stands as a remarkable reflection on nearly four decades of upheaval. Equally striking is his remark that he had lost all his friends and acquaintances in France “excepting yourself and The Marquis de La Fayette,” a touching reference to the famed Revolutionary War hero at a moment when Lafayette had already survived the Terror, imprisonment, the Napoleonic era, and the Bourbon Restoration. Adams’s wish that France be “restored to her usual Happiness” further reflects the uncertain political climate following Napoleon’s final defeat and the restoration of the French monarchy under Louis XVIII. His recommendation proved well placed: Theodore Lyman Jr. later emerged as a prominent Boston political figure, serving in the Massachusetts legislature and as a two-term mayor of Boston. The recipient, François Barbé-Marbois, later served as Napoleon’s Minister of the Treasury and played a central role in negotiating the Louisiana Purchase, making this an especially appealing intersection of American and French diplomatic history.

President Thomas Jefferson and Secretary of State James Madison sign maritime papers for the brig Ann Maria during the Napoleonic Wars 5. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison Maritime Document Signed as President and Secretary of State for the Brig Ann Maria. Partly-
printed vellum DS, signed “Th: Jefferson” as president and “James Madison” as secretary of state, one page, 10.5 x 15.5, May 27, 1806. Scalloped-top ship’s papers issued to the “Brig Ann Maria of New York…mounted with no guns navigated by Eight men to pass with her Company Passengers, Goods and Merchandise without any hindrance, seizure or molestation.” Signed at the conclusion by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The lower left corner retains the original white wafer seal. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light tape stains, and light fading to all handwriting. Issued during Jefferson’s second presidential term, these ship’s papers date to a period of mounting maritime tensions as American merchant vessels found themselves increasingly entangled in the conflict between Great Britain and Napoleonic France. At the time, American ships faced the growing threat of seizure, search, and impressment by the naval forces of both nations, circumstances that would ultimately contribute to the Embargo Act of 1807. Signed by both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the document reflects the international commercial challenges confronting the young republic on the eve of that crisis. Starting Bid $500

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison sign a four-language passport for the ship Citizen, bound from New York to Havana as Britain and France tighten their grip on Atlantic commerce 6. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison Signed Four-Language Ship’s Passport (1806). Partly-printed
DS, signed “Th: Jefferson” as president and “James Madison” as secretary of state, one page, 16.75 x 16.75, November 21, 1806. Four-language ship’s pass issued to “George C. Allen, master or commander of the Ship called the Citizen…lying at present in the port of New York, bound for Havanna and laden with Paper, Soap, Wine, Aniseed, empty Bottles, Beef, fish, Hats, Tea, Rouge, Dry Goods, Butter, Lard, Apples, Shoes, Saffron, & Lumber.” Signed neatly in the center in ink by President Thomas Jefferson and countersigned below by Secretary of State James Madison. The document is also signed by David Gelston as Collector of New York. The central portion retains the original white paper seals. In very good to fine condition, with trimmed edges, and some minor loss to the upper and lower right corners. Issued on November 21, 1806, this ship’s pass for the Citizen, bound from New York to Havana, bears the exact date of Napoleon’s Berlin Decree, which inaugurated the Continental System and transformed the conditions under which American merchant vessels operated in the Atlantic world. Over the following year, the escalating conflict between Britain and France placed increasing pressure on neutral American commerce, as both powers imposed restrictions that threatened the maritime trade Jefferson and Madison sought to protect. Issued in four languages, the pass was designed to facilitate the movement of American merchant vessels through an Atlantic world increasingly shaped by the conflict between Britain and Napoleonic France. Notably, it is also countersigned by New York Collector David Gelston, the federal official who would soon be charged with enforcing Jefferson’s Embargo Act, the policy that effectively curtailed the very trade routes such passports were designed to facilitate.

10. James Madison Letter Signed as Secretary of State Weeks Before the Embargo Act (1807). LS as
secretary of state, one page, 7.5 x 9.75, October 31, 1807. Addressed from the Department of State in Washington, a letter to prominent New Jersey jurist Samuel Bayard, in full: “I have the Honor to inform you that the Secretary of the Treasury has this day been requested to cause a Remittance of Thirteen hundred and eighty eight pounds, nineteen shillings and two pence stg to be made to General Lyman, Consul of the U. States at London, to pay the Balance still due to the Proctors, agreeably to the Intimation in your letter of the 3rd. Inst.” In fine condition, with light show-through from a thin mounting strip on the back of the left edge. Written during Madison’s tenure as secretary of state under Thomas Jefferson, this letter concerns the transmission of federal funds through General Theodore Lyman, the American consul in London. The recipient, Samuel Bayard, was one of New Jersey’s most distinguished attorneys, a trustee and longtime treasurer of the College of New Jersey (Princeton), and a respected figure in early American legal and political circles. Dated October 31, 1807, the letter was written just four months after the Chesapeake–Leopard affair, in which a British warship fired upon and boarded an American naval vessel, bringing the United States to the brink of war with Great Britain. Less than two months later, Jefferson would sign the Embargo Act of 1807 in an effort to pressure Britain and France through economic means. Starting Bid $200
17. Andrew Jackson Twice-Signed Autograph Document Recording Cotton Credit and Household Purchases in Early Tennessee (1807). ADS signed twice, “Andrew Jackson”
and “A. Jackson,” one page, 7.75 x 5.5, March 8, 1807. Handwritten memorandum by Jackson recording the receipt of cotton credited toward the purchase of goods for the “Miss Owens,” in part: “Recd. from Eli Hammonds Esqr the following receipts for cotton…to be at the credit of the Miss Owens, for articles Bot for them of Messrs. Deaderick & Somervill, one for thirty three & 3/4 lbs gend cotton, the other fifty four and 1/3 pounds Ditto—the cotton at fifteen cents pr. lb.” Jackson signs beneath this statement and continues below: “The articles alluded to Bot for the young ladies are 11 yards black Silk Sinshong—5 yds coarse callico—2 pair black cotton hoes.” He signs again below, “A. Jackson,” and adds accounting calculations to the reverse concerning the balance due and a coffee bill dated January 24, 1808. In fine condition. Created during Jackson’s years as a Tennessee lawyer, planter, and rising political figure, this uncommon double-signed memorandum offers a revealing glimpse into the commercial economy of the early American frontier. The document records cotton being accepted as credit toward the purchase of household goods, illustrating the barter-based transactions that remained common in the Southwest during the first decade of the nineteenth century. The Nashville merchant firm of Deaderick & Somervill, from whom the goods were purchased, formed part of the commercial network that supplied Tennessee’s growing frontier communities. Particularly appealing is Jackson’s notation of items acquired for the “young ladies,” including silk fabric, calico, and cotton hose, transforming a routine financial record into a tangible snapshot of domestic life in early Tennessee. Signed twice by the future seventh president, the document survives as an unusually personal example of Jackson’s management of everyday family and financial affairs during the formative years of his rise to national prominence.

19. Martin Van Buren Autograph Letter Signed - Four Days After Leaving the White House. ALS signed “M. Van Buren,”
six pages, 8 x 9.75, March 8, 1841. Addressed from Washington four days after Van Buren left office, a handwritten letter to several New York Democratic politicians, including John Van Buren, Robert H. Morris, Wright Hawkes, Theodore Sedgwick, and Thomas Smith; the addressees included Democratic electors and prominent members of the New York City party organization. Responding to an invitation to a public dinner honoring his return to New York following the conclusion of his presidency, Van Buren expresses gratitude for the continued support of the city’s Democratic organization. In part: “The rewards of a publick servant…are complete when to the conciousness of having performed his duty with fidelity and the hope of having rendered himself useful to his country is added the approbation of those who have entrusted their highest earthly interests to his keeping.” Reflecting on his political future after his defeat in the election of 1840, he writes: “I come to you now with a political ambition more than satisfied by the many and distinguished honors which have already been conferred upon me, and with no higher aspirations, if there be higher than to occupy the station, enjoy the privileges and discharge the duties of an American citizen.” Declining the proposed banquet in favor of a less formal gathering, Van Buren closes with a tribute to his supporters, praising the “lion-hearted Democracy of your great city” and assuring them of his “never failing gratitude.” The spine edge of the last page is affixed to a same-sized backing sheet.

Addressed from “Head Qrs., 1st Infantry, Fort Crawford,” a letter to Col. R. Jones in Washington, in full: “Your communication of the 17th ult., acknowledging the receipt of the Report of the Board of Inspectors mustering Roll etc, of Recruits, recently arrived at this Post has this moment come to hand; that of the 10th of the same month has not yet been received. Upon referring to the orders from your Office on the subject of Rejected Recruits, it appears that I am not authorized to discharge recruits of my command who may have been rejected by a Board of Inspectors. I have therefore retained Kavenaugh, Foster, and Williams (recruits of the 7th conscription) at this Post until the decision of the Genl. in Chief, in regard to them be made known.” In fine condition, with faint mottled staining.
Written from Fort Crawford during Zachary Taylor’s service as commander of the 1st U.S. Infantry, this letter concerns the disposition of recruits rejected by a board of inspectors. Stationed on the northwestern frontier in the aftermath of the Black Hawk War, Taylor was then engaged in the administrative and disciplinary duties that occupied much of his long military career before his victories in the Mexican-American War transformed him into a national hero and, ultimately, the 12th president of the United States. Fort Crawford was also the setting for a significant episode in Taylor’s personal life: Lieutenant Jefferson Davis was stationed there during this period and was then courting Taylor’s daughter, Sarah Knox Taylor, a relationship the future president strongly opposed.

Although undated as to year, the letter was almost certainly written in 1840, when February 4th fell on a Tuesday, and both Millard Fillmore and John Quincy Adams were serving in the House of Representatives. During this period, Adams was enjoying his celebrated post-presidential career in Congress, while Fillmore was emerging as a leading New York Whig.

Marked “Private,” a handwritten political letter from Greeneville, Tennessee, written by Senator Andrew Johnson amid growing divisions within the Democratic Party. Johnson offers a candid assessment of factional struggles within the party, writing: “…there has been a strange state of affairs in our ranks for the last two years both in Tennessee and in Washington, which has been doing us much injury as a party.” Discussing the approaching presidential election of 1860, he remarks: “You need have no fears as to Mr. B’s being the candidate of the democratic party in 1860…I have no doubt of his aspiring to the nomination…but it will be no go in my opinion,” before adding the prescient observation: “…do not think it of much importance who may be the nominee, unless there is some change in the bleak Republican feeling in the free states and more harmony in the democratic party.” In good to very good condition, with heavy staining, areas of paper loss, and splitting to the folds partially repaired with archival tape on the reverse. Written less than a year before the election of 1860, Johnson’s letter captures the mounting tensions that would soon fracture the Democratic Party and help pave the way for Abraham Lincoln’s victory. Writing from his East Tennessee political base, Johnson laments party infighting in both Tennessee and Washington and dismisses the prospects of “Mr. B.,” almost certainly a reference to incumbent president James Buchanan, receiving the Democratic nomination in 1860. An insightful pre-Civil War political letter from the future seventeenth president, offering a contemporary glimpse into the partisan turmoil that preceded one of the most consequential elections in American history.

“The people at large will never accept this view if they also accept the view that we ought to pay blackmail now”—Theodore Roosevelt denounces the Colombia treaty and weighs in on the “wilful” senators controversy 58. Theodore R o o s e v e l t Autograph Letter Signed on the Colombia Treaty and Armed-Ship Bill Controversy. World
War I-dated ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 6.75, Sagamore Hill letterhead, March 18, 1917. Handwritten letter to Pennsylvania Senator Boies Penrose, in full: “Lodge and Loeb have told me your position on the Colombia treaty, and naturally I am much pleased. Knox in his report implies that our action in 1903 was correct and necessary; but the people at large will never accept this view if they also accept the view that we ought to pay blackmail now. The two positions can not both be right. I am quite unable to understand the hysterical attacks made on Maine, La Follette & Co., the ‘wilful’ senators, by the same men who with equal hysterics yell ‘support the President!’ Stone, O’Gorman and La Follette were simply carrying out the President’s policies, those which he has continually and repeatedly upheld, and has continuously practiced, for two years and a half. I don’t approve of them; but I disapprove much more strongly of this.” In fine condition, with tiny staple holes to the upper left corner. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Roosevelt’s hand. Written just weeks before the United States entered the First World War, this letter finds Theodore Roosevelt commenting on two major political controversies then before the nation. Writing to Pennsylvania Senator Boies Penrose, Roosevelt first discusses the pending Colombia treaty, negotiated to compensate Colombia for the loss of Panama following the 1903 revolution that led to Panamanian independence and the subsequent acquisition of canal rights by the United States. Because the treaty carried an implicit acknowledgment that the United States had acted improperly in 1903, Roosevelt viewed it as a repudiation of the Panama policy pursued during his administration, insisting that Americans could not simultaneously regard the events of 1903 as “correct and necessary” while agreeing to what he denounced as “blackmail.” Roosevelt also addresses the recent controversy surrounding President Woodrow Wilson’s armed-ship legislation, proposed in response to Germany’s unrestricted submarine campaign against American shipping. Although a prominent critic of Wilson’s foreign policy and an outspoken advocate of military preparedness, Roosevelt condemns attacks on the so-called “wilful” senators, arguing that figures including William J. Stone, former senator James A. O’Gorman, and Robert M. La Follette were merely carrying out policies that Wilson himself had long endorsed. Mentioning both Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and Roosevelt’s former secretary William Loeb, the letter reflects the continued involvement of Roosevelt and his political allies in the foreignpolicy debates that immediately preceded American entry into World War I.

“I have today issued an Executive Order, providing for taking over the country’s railroads” 86. Harry S. Truman Signed White House Press Release on the 1950 Railroad Strike: “I have today issued an Executive Order, providing for taking over the country’s railroads”. DS as president, nine pages, 8
x 14, August 25, 1950. Confidential press release of President Truman’s statement on his executive order putting America’s railroads under the control of the U.S. Army in anticipation of a crippling strike by railroad workers. In part: “I have today issued an Executive Order, providing for taking over the country’s railroads at 4 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on August 27, 1950, and providing for their operation by the Secretary of the Army in the name of the United States Government. A nationwide strike has been called for 6 a.m., Monday, August 28, by two of the railroad labor organizations—the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors. These unions have declined to accept the findings and recommendations of an emergency board created by the President under the Railway Labor Act. In the strike situation thus confronting us, governmental seizure is imperative for the protection of our citizens.
It is essential to the national defense and the security of the Nation, to the public health, and to the public welfare generally that every possible step be taken by the Government to assure to the fullest possible extent continuous and uninterrupted transportation service. Accordingly, I intend to take all steps necessary to assure the continued operation of the railroads. I call upon every railroad work to cooperate with the Government by remaining on duty. I call upon the officers of the railroad labor organizations to take appropriate action to keep their members at work.” The statement is followed by the text of Truman’s executive order, plus a five-page list of the railroads affected. In fine condition. In August 1950, President Harry S. Truman responded to the threatened nationwide railroad strike by ordering the U.S. Army to take control of the nation’s railroads. He argued that a shutdown would endanger citizens and weaken national defense, especially because the Korean War had begun just weeks earlier. Truman’s action, issued on August 25 and effective August 27, kept the railroads running and showed his willingness to use strong federal power during a national emergency. The dispute was eventually resolved in 1952 through a wage agreement, and federal control of the railroads ended after the crisis passed. Starting Bid $300

Scientists and Inventors “I have now sent a little notice to the Linnean Soc.”— Charles Darwin discusses seed-germination research with pioneering mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley—“I send a few of the Peas, which produce the black or intensely purple pods” 209. Charles Darwin Autograph Letter Signed to Mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley on Seed Germination Experiments (1856). ALS
signed “Ch. Darwin,” one page, 4.5 x 7.5, March 18th [1856]. Addressed from Down House in “Bromley, Kent,” a handwritten letter to English cryptogamist and clergyman Miles Joseph Berkeley: “I am very much obliged for your note of the 7th & kind permission to incorporate facts: I have now sent a little notice to the Linnean Soc. — Many thanks, also, for your remarks on the Peas — I send a few of the Peas, which produce the black or intensely purple pods.” Double-matted and framed with a presentation caption and portrait photograph to an overall size of 22 x 18. In fine condition, with a thin, light vertical stain. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA. Recorded by the Darwin Correspondence Project as Letter no. 1843A. Written to the pioneering mycologist and cryptogamist Miles Joseph Berkeley, this letter relates to a series of botanical experiments undertaken as Darwin gathered evidence for the theories he would later present in On the Origin of Species (1859). Berkeley, often regarded as the founder of British mycology, assisted Darwin by testing the effects of prolonged immersion in seawater on seeds of various plants, research intended to determine whether seeds could survive long ocean voyages and thus help explain the geographic distribution of species. In this letter, Darwin thanks Berkeley for permission to incorporate the results into a paper he had just submitted to the Linnean Society, later published as ‘On the Action of Sea-Water on the Germination of Seeds.’ The correspondence also touches on Darwin’s investigations into variation among cultivated peas. In an earlier exchange, Berkeley had suggested that unusual coloration observed in a neighbor’s black-podded peas might result from ordinary variation rather than cross-fertilization, and requested samples for examination. Darwin’s enclosure of several of the unusual peas reflects the collaborative exchange of observations and specimens that characterized his scientific work during the years leading up to the publication of Origin.

He later became the first president of the Edison Pioneers. Edison writes using the letterhead of Ezra Torrance Gilliland (1845–1903), an inventor who designed the telephone switchboard and the magneto bell. He had a laboratory in his home and ‘kept seven expert electricians employed’ as he worked on his ideas. He built the first telephone exchange in Indianapolis in the 1870s under the name Gilliland Telephone Manufacturing Company and later worked for the Bell Telephone Company. Gilliland was a friend and colleague of Edison, and the two worked together on many projects. They met as young men and called each other ‘Damon and Pythias’ because of their close friendship. Edison met his second wife at Gilliland’s home, and Gilliland wrote frequently in trade journals promoting Edison’s inventions. The two were business partners, even occupying adjacent vacation homes in Fort Myers, Florida, until their friendship unraveled in the late 1880s amid a dispute over business dealings.

Six days before his election as chairman of the Naval Consulting Board, Edison signs a contract to supply aniline oil, a critical industrial chemical formerly dominated by German producers 212. Thomas Edison Document Signed Wartime Aniline Oil Supply Contract (1915).
World War I-dated DS, signed “Thos. A. Edison,” one page, 8.25 x 9.5, personal “From the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison” letterhead, October 1, 1915. Business contract concerning the sale of aniline oil to the Racine Rubber Company of Racine, Wisconsin. The agreement provides for Edison’s supply of aniline oil during the 1916 calendar year, specifying quantity, pricing, delivery terms, and payment conditions. In part: “Racine Rubber Company…hereby purchases, and agrees to receive from Thomas A. Edison, and the said Thomas A. Edison hereby sells to Racine Rubber Company, Aniline Oil required by said Racine Rubber Company for its own use and consumption in factory located at Racine, Wis., during the period from January 1st, 1916, to December 31st, 1916.” The contract establishes a price of “sixty (60) cents per pound” and deliveries of “one thousand (1,000) pounds per month.” Particularly notable is the contract’s wartime contingency clause, which permits deliveries to be suspended in the event of “war, fire, flood, strike, lockout, accident, or other like causes beyond the control of said Edison,” reflecting the uncertainties facing American industry during the First World War. In very good to fine condition, with fold splits, slightly irregular toning to the left edge, and irregular trimming to the bottom edge. Issued on Edison’s distinctive laboratory letterhead, this uncommon industrial contract dates to a period when the inventor was deeply engaged in chemical manufacturing ventures. Before World War I, Germany dominated the global market for synthetic dyes and related chemicals, including aniline products. With wartime disruptions sharply curtailing those imports, Edison expanded domestic production of chemicals such as benzol, phenol, and aniline derivatives, helping to fill shortages that affected numerous American industries. Aniline oil was an important industrial chemical used in dyes and rubber production, making its purchase by the Racine Rubber Company particularly fitting. Signed on October 1, 1915, the contract predates by just six days the formal convening of the Naval Consulting Board on October 7th, at which Edison was elected chairman, placing the document at the moment when he was supplying American industry with critical wartime chemicals and assuming a leading role in the nation’s military preparedness effort.

Einstein pledges financial support for a relative fleeing Nazi Germany: “My regular occupation is Professor of Physics, Member of Faculty of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton N.J.” 214. Albert Einstein Document Signed (1940) - Affidavit of Support for His Immigrant Cousin, Ursula Einstein, Fleeing from Nazi Germany. Important DS signed “Albert
Einstein,” one page both sides, 8.25 x 13.75, March 6, 1940. Albert Einstein petitions U.S. immigration authorities to allow his distant cousin, Ursula Einstein, to travel to the United States from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where she had fled from Nazi Germany. Einstein, “residing at 112 Mercer Str., Princeton, New Jersey,” having declared his “intention of becoming a citizen of the United States on January 15, 1936,” certifies Ursula’s intent to immigrate due to “unfavorable political conditions in country of birth.” He pledges his assets for her support, explaining: “My regular occupation is Professor of Physics, Member of Faculty of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton N.J. My average annual earnings amount to $15,000.” He goes on to list his other assets, including $16,506.96 in a bank account, real estate valued at approximately $25,000, and stocks and bonds worth $22,000. Signed at the conclusion in ink by Albert Einstein, and countersigned below by a notary public, with a red notary seal at lower left. Rules for American visa applications are printed on the reverse, explaining that “the American relatives or friends assume complete responsibility for the support of the prospective immigrants and are required to corroborate their statements with proof of their financial responsibility.” In very good to fine condition, with short edge tears, small areas of paper loss, and Einstein’s signature a couple shades light. Albert Einstein was himself a Jewish refugee who fled Nazi Germany in 1933 after his works were publicly burned and he was targeted by the regime. Settling in the United States at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, Einstein became a vocal advocate against fascism and a tireless supporter of fellow refugees. Ursula Einstein was the daughter of Elsa’s cousin Robert Einstein (Ursula Einstein’s grandfather Josef Einstein, was the brother of Elsa’s father, Rudolf Einstein). She had evidently escaped Nazi Germany to seek refuge in Haiti—likely with the aid of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC)—and became one of many German Jews to benefit from Albert Einstein’s name and influence. Einstein is credited with saving hundreds of lives as an ardent advocate for Jews seeking to escape Hitler’s reach and find asylum elsewhere—he even joked that he ran an ‘immigration office.’ He frequently made visa applications for other German Jews, personally vouched for refugees fleeing Nazi rule, solicited philanthropic support from fellow celebrities, and aided in securing employment for refugees around the world. This significant document exemplifies Albert Einstein’s deep commitment to both family and humanitarian causes during a time of international crisis. Starting Bid $1000

“I have revisited the problem of motion in the original theory of gravitation”—Einstein ponders the Unified Field Theory in 1928 215. Albert Einstein (2) Autograph Letters Signed on His Unified Field Theory Collaboration: “Your electron is possible if one considers the HamiltonFunction”. Two handwritten letters by Albert Einstein to
German mathematician Chaim Herman Muntz, with whom he was working closely on formalizing the ‘Unified Field Theory.’ - ALS in pencil, signed “A. E.,” written on both sides of a 4 x 5.75 postcard, postmarked August 21, 1928. In full (translated): “Thank you very much for your two letters! The centrallysymmetric solution is (unfortunately!) based on a calculation error in which the coupled field equation is not satisfied by the approach above. There does not seem to be a centrally symmetric electrostatic solution. So for the time being, the outlook is bleak for the physical interpretation of the theory. I have revisited the problem of motion in the original theory of gravitation in order to deepen my understanding of the method for deriving the law of motion, because a serious testing/ examination of field theories is only possible if one has a firm grasp of the law of motion of singularities. I look forward to the time when we can speak again. I’ve always believed that this long-distance connection will eventually lead to something.” - ALS in pencil, signed “A. E.,” written on both sides of a 4 x 5.75 postcard, postmarked August 22, 1928. In full (translated): “Your electron is possible if one considers the HamiltonFunction: [Formula]. Therefore, the invariant [Formula] does come into its own. Now, the law of motion for singularities must be sought to see if it is justified anywhere to identify [Formula] with the electrical potentials. I developed the method in the earlier theory of gravitation in such a way that it can be conveniently transferred to other cases. I am pleased that I can show you all of this.”
These exceptional August 1928 letters capture Einstein in the midst of his ambitious effort to formulate a unified field theory joining gravitation and electromagnetism. Writing to German mathematician Chaim Herman Müntz, Einstein discusses the “centrally-symmetric solution” and the possibility of deriving an “electron” from the field equations themselves—an essential aim of his unified program, in which particles would appear not as separate entities but as special solutions, or singularities, of the field. In the first postcard, Einstein reports that Müntz’s proposed solution is “unfortunately” based on a calculation error, dimming its promise as a physical interpretation of the theory. Yet he immediately turns to the deeper issue of deriving the law of motion for singularities, revisiting his earlier work in general relativity to refine the method by which particle motion might be obtained directly from field equations. Written just one day later, the second postcard shows Einstein reconsidering the problem, now allowing that “your electron is possible” under the proper Hamiltonian formulation. He emphasizes that the next step is to determine whether the law of motion for singularities justifies identifying the relevant field quantities with electrical potentials. These letters therefore document a critical stage in Einstein’s private mathematical development of unified field theory, just months before his paper ‘On Unified Field Theory’ was presented to the Prussian Academy of Sciences on January 10, 1929, and published on January 30, 1929. In that paper, Einstein explicitly acknowledged Müntz’s contribution, thanking him for his ‘laboriously precise calculation of the centrally symmetric problem,’ the results of which had suggested the method used in the published theory. Together, these two postcards offer extraordinary insight into Einstein’s working process: a moment of correction, reconsideration, and renewed theoretical possibility at the heart of his effort to unite gravity and electromagnetism.

World War I-dated matte-finish 3.5 x 5.5 artistic portrait of Mata Hari in an elegant bust-length pose, signed in bold fountain pen, “Lady MacLeod,” the name she used in some of her earliest Paris performances before achieving international fame as Mata Hari, and adding an inscription to the reverse, “A son excellence, Morteza Khan, Paris 27 Octobre 1916.” In fine condition, with light unobtrusive creasing. Inscribed to Morteza Khan Momtaz al-Molk (1865–1925), a prominent Persian diplomat and statesman who served as Minister of Public Instruction from 1916 to 1917, this striking portrait dates to the final year of Mata Hari’s freedom. Signed as “Lady MacLeod,” the surname acquired through her marriage to Dutch colonial officer Rudolf MacLeod and a name she used during her earliest Paris performances before achieving international fame as Mata Hari, the inscription places this portrait at a fascinating intersection of her personal and public identities. By October 1916, Europe was engulfed in the First World War, and Mata Hari was moving among military officers, diplomats, and intelligence contacts across the continent. Less than four months later, French authorities arrested her on charges of espionage; following a highly publicized military trial, she was executed by firing squad on October 15, 1917. Her case remains one of the most debated espionage prosecutions of the First World War. Starting Bid $200 Hundreds of more items are listed online at www.RRAuction.com | 39

In fine condition, with light soiling, and old tape along the edges which could easily be matted out. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA, assigning the autograph a grade of “9.” According to the consignor, the signature originates from the collection of their great-aunt, a past president of the Long Island chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association and founder and former president of the Southold Indian Museum in Southold, Long Island, New York. Geronimo (1829–1909), the celebrated Chiricahua Apache leader, became one of the most recognizable Native American figures of the late nineteenth century through his prolonged resistance to United States and Mexican military forces. Following his final surrender to General Nelson Miles in 1886, he was held as a prisoner of war and eventually settled at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where he remained under military custody until his death in 1909. During his years at Fort Sill, Geronimo appeared at several major public exhibitions, including the 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition, the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, and the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, where he sold signed photographs, bows and arrows, and other personal items to visitors. He later participated in Theodore Roosevelt’s 1905 inaugural parade and appeared with several Wild West exhibitions, public appearances that helped make his autograph and personal relics highly sought after by the American public.

251. David Clark MC-3A High-Altitude Partial Pressure Suit, Unissued, with Original Factory Seals Intact.
Museum-quality unissued David Clark MC-3A high-altitude flying suit, size Large Long, manufactured by the David Clark Company, Inc., under Contract No. AF33(602)-8568. An exceptional ‘time capsule’ example, this suit remains unfitted, unused, and in remarkable deadstock condition, having been preserved in a private family archive since its acquisition through the Civil Air Patrol in the early 1980s. Unlike most surviving examples, which typically show evidence of military use, field adjustment, or long-term surplus storage, this MC-3A retains its original factory-applied orange-brown adhesive lacing wraps on the capstan laces. These intact seals indicate that the suit was never fitted to a pilot and remains in its original manufactured configuration. The suit displays outstanding physical integrity throughout, with clean zippers, snaps, and hardware showing no oxidation. The original OD-green protective finish on the snaps and metal components remains fully present, with no significant scratching, surface loss, or handling wear. The internal pressure bladders likewise remain supple and exceptionally well preserved, consistent with the suit’s overall unissued condition. The MC-3A was developed in the early 1950s to protect pilots flying at extreme altitudes in aircraft such as the U-2 and early jet interceptors, where sudden cabin depressurization could prove fatal. The partial pressure suit applied mechanical counter-pressure to the body through an inflatable capstan system, buying a pilot enough time to descend to survivable altitude. With its intact factory seals, unfitted state, and long-term climate-controlled stewardship, this David Clark MC-3A represents a superior example of one of the most recognizable American high-altitude flight suit designs of the Cold War era.

Literature “Esquire sounds bad to me (as title)”— months before the magazine’s debut, Hemingway writes from Havana to Arnold Gingrich about publishing, editor Maxwell Perkins, novelist John Dos Passos, and Cuban marlin fishing— “They move like a destroyer in the water” 360. Ernest Hemingway Autograph Letter Signed to Arnold Gingrich, Months Before His Magazine’s Debut - “Esquire sounds bad to me (as title)”. ALS,
seven pages on three bifolia of Hotel Ambos Mundos stationery, 5.5 x 7, May 24, 1933. Lengthy handwritten letter from Havana, Cuba, to Esquire founder Arnold Gingrich, discussing a wide range of literary, professional, and personal matters. In part: “I remember Max Perkins…of whom I am very fond…asking me, in a letter, when I would stop calling him Mr. Perkins…I am very fond of him, really, but wrote him that it would cost me at least $10,000 to stop calling him Mr.—(it has) and I did… There is no one finer than Max…You are a damned intelligent (unpaid) critic…Esquire sounds bad to me (as title)…Am too damned tired at night to do more than stagger into bed [after fishing]…Later the night picks up and there is a certain amount of very interesting study of politics etc. But no letter writing. I will write you a damned good Cuban letter though.” Elsewhere, Hemingway writes enthusiastically of his fishing exploits: “Have caught 29 Marlin Swordfish…caught 7 last Saturday (believe a record for one rod fishing)…We have a good chance to get a world’s record fish—the hell with the record but by God you ought to see what a fish that size is like in the air. They move like a destroyer in the water.” He also mentions the illness of fellow author John Dos Passos, noting that he had departed for Antibes to recover. In very fine condition.
Written from Havana’s Hotel Ambos Mundos, where Hemingway maintained a room during the early 1930s, this substantial letter dates from a formative period in his relationship with Arnold Gingrich, founder of Esquire. The correspondence captures Hemingway’s candid views on literary professionalism, friendship, and publishing, including a memorable discussion of his longtime editor Maxwell Perkins, whose editorial guidance helped shape the careers of Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Thomas Wolfe. Equally characteristic are Hemingway’s vivid observations on deep-sea fishing in Cuban waters, a pursuit that increasingly occupied his time and would become inseparable from both his public persona and his later writing. The letter offers a glimpse of Hemingway’s life in Havana during the years immediately preceding the publication of Green Hills of Africa and To Have and Have Not. The letter was written on May 24, 1933, several months before the debut issue of Esquire appeared in October 1933. Hemingway’s remark that “Esquire sounds bad to me (as title)” captures his reaction to the magazine’s proposed name while plans for the publication were still taking shape. His discussion of marlin fishing also anticipates ‘A Cuban Letter, Marlin off the Morro,’ his contribution to Esquire’s inaugural issue. The first six pages of the letter were later reproduced in Carlos Baker’s Selected Letters of Ernest Hemingway (1981); the seventh and final page was not included because a photocopy was apparently not made.

Music Although Irving Berlin is remembered above all as one of America’s defining songwriters, archival evidence reveals a quieter visual-art side to his creativity. In a 1976 letter to playwright and lyricist Leonard Gershe, Berlin joked self-deprecatingly: ‘I demonstrate that as a painter—I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.’ The Library of Congress’s Irving Berlin Collection further supports this side of his life, noting an ‘Original Artwork’ series that includes photographed reproductions of original paintings.
370. Irving Berlin Original Painting - Figures in Profile (1975). Original painting by celebrated songwriter Irving Berlin, accomplished in acrylic and ink on 13.5 x 8 board, signed in the lower right corner in black ink, “I.B., 1975.” This bold, stylized painting shows two stark white faces in profile against a vivid red background, their opposing expressions suggesting emotional tension or dialogue. Their stark white composition evokes the iconic ‘Comedy’ and ‘Tragedy’ masks of drama, enhanced by the rough brushwork and expressive, folk-art feel. Matted and framed without glass to an overall size of 16.5 x 11. In fine condition. Provenance: From the collection of Irving Berlin’s best friend, Irving Hoffman, a Hollywood press agent, drama critic, and columnist for the Hollywood Reporter. Starting Bid $200

painting by celebrated songwriter Irving Berlin, accomplished in oil on a 9.5 x 14 wooden painter’s palette, signed in the lower left in black ink, “Irving Berlin, Xmas - 1969,” beneath a musical quotation from the closing phrase of his holiday classic ‘White Christmas,’ ‘and may all your Christmases be white.’ An evocative winter scene, this mixed-media painting suggests a snowy Christmas night beneath a deep blue moonlit sky, with a stark gray tree rising from the white landscape.

Its simple dream of an old-fashioned snowy Christmas has remained a seasonal touchstone for generations, lending this intimate painting—created and inscribed by Berlin himself—a poignant connection to the composer’s most cherished holiday work.

Archive of letters from Irving Berlin to his best friend, joking that “Sam, Sam, The Man What Am” could be the biggest hit he ever wrote—including “White Christmas” 369. Irving Berlin Archive of (24) Signed Letters, (3) Albums, and (1) Sheet Music Songbook to His Best Friend, Irving Hoffman, and Family. Archive of 24 typed
letters from Irving Berlin to his best friend, Irving Hoffman, and his father, Sam Hoffman, most signed “Irving” (with one signed “Irving Berlin” and two signed “Izzy”), all one page, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and personal letterheads, dated from 1938 to 1966. Berlin’s letters offer a warm and often witty candid record of Berlin’s career on Broadway and in Hollywood, his handling of publicity, his philanthropy, and his friendships over nearly three decades. One letter, dated January 24, 1950, is noted in a typed postscript as having been signed by his secretary. Additionally includes three albums signed by Berlin, and a signed collection of his sheet music. The correspondence opens with a strong Alexander’s Ragtime Band letter of July 25, 1938, in which Berlin forwards material for publicity: “Enclosed is the ‘ALEXANDER’S BAND’—Lasky story, which I dictated for you,” adding that he is sending “a bound book of all the songs used in ‘ALEXANDER’S RAGTIME BAND,’ with reproductions of the original title-pages.” In a February 1, 1939 letter, he writes while finishing work on a Sonja Henie picture: “I returned from Phoenix yesterday with the completed score and I think I’ve got some good songs,” and asks Hoffman to hear “a song I sent back…called ‘The Waltz of Old Vienna.’” The MGM-era letters are especially colorful. Writing on April 7, 1947, Berlin jokes, “The weather was wonderful and I had one good night’s sleep. It is very painful for me to admit this, but facts are facts,” before praising the reception for Alexander: “The picture opened yesterday to a wonderful day’s business, outgrossing many of their big, new pictures.” Other MGM letters mention Walter Winchell, Billy Rose, Dolores Gray, Emile Littler, and Hollywood publicity clippings. A superb March 2, 1949 letter finds Berlin in unusually frank form after seeing the opening night of Clifford Odets’s The Big Knife. Berlin writes that the reviews “were all bad, as they deserved to be,” and offers a sharp critique of Odets’s treatment of Hollywood, concluding that the play “was old hat, corny and last year’s rhythm.” In the same year, Berlin offers Hoffman a private opportunity to buy “two percent of ‘Miss Liberty,’” explaining that the show was expected to come in for around $185,000 and that the gesture was intended as appreciation for Hoffman’s kindnesses. In a 1960 letter, he reflects on Jack Harrison’s death and jokes about the song “Sam, Sam, The Man What Am,” which he annually re-wrote
to celebrate Sam Hoffman’s birthday: “I talked to Gertie and she tells me your old man is fine. I understand he’s still selling copies of ‘Sam, Sam, The Man What Am.’ Wouldn’t it be funny if this turned out to be the biggest hit I ever wrote, including ‘White Christmas.’” The archive notably includes two rare acetate pressings of the song in sleeves custom-made by Irving Berlin, one signed and inscribed in ballpoint to the song’s subject: “Dear Sam—For your 85th birthday I have written a new version of your song—Here it is and I hope you like it—Irving Berlin.” The other sleeve has an applied presentation inscription to “Gertie B.,” signed below in thick black felt tip, “Irving.” Other highlights include Berlin mentioning a lunch with “the ‘round table’—Groucho and Harpo Marx, George Burns and so forth”; a 1954 letter enclosing a $4,000 check for the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund; a 1962 letter referring to a rough out-of-town performance as a “‘Titanic White Star Line’ performance”; two versions of an April 18, 1958 letter containing Berlin’s wry verse about “a worried old man on the hill,” one example decorated with an affixed handmade Santa figure; and several 1966 letters concerning Annie Get Your Gun, RCA advertising for the “Annie” album, Abe Berman, Ethel Merman’s entrance, Detroit notices, and related publicity. Additionally includes a Columbia Records sleeve for Music from Irving Berlin’s ‘Mr. President,’ prominently signed on the front in black felt tip, “Here’s the first impression, hope you like it, Irving Berlin,” with two promo vinyl records inside. The sheet music collection, bound together in an oversized, gilt-edged volume, is signed and inscribed on the first free end page in blue ballpoint, “For Gertie, with love from the other Irving.” In overall very good to fine condition, with expected mailing folds, scattered toning and soiling, small chips and tears, paperclip and staple marks, and heavier wear to a few letters; the signatures remain generally bold and attractive. Accompanied by a color print of one of Berlin’s artworks featuring an image of him and Hoffman at center, and a color print of one of Hoffman’s caricatures of Berlin. Irving Hoffman was a New York journalist, publicist, and press agent with deep ties to Broadway, Hollywood, and the entertainment industry, whose column in the ‘Hollywood Reporter’ and personal connections made him a useful confidant. A remarkably broad and intimate Irving Berlin archive, tracing his private voice from the Alexander’s Ragtime Band era through Miss Liberty, Hollywood commentary, charitable work, and the later Annie Get Your Gun revival period.

Boldly signed example of Bob Dylan’s landmark The Times They Are a-Changin’ album 400. Bob Dylan Signed Album - The Times They Are a-Changin’. The Times They Are a-Changin’ album by Bob
Dylan, who has signed neatly on the front cover in black felt tip. In very fine condition. The record is included. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Jeff Rosen, the president of the Bob Dylan Music Company, which reads: “I represent Bob Dylan and have done so for many years. In 2017 he signed a number of individual albums on a rare and limited basis, including the album photographed here. I can say for certain that it is Bob Dylan’s signature. The chain of custody is directly from Bob Dylan to myself.” A choice example of one of Dylan’s greatest albums, signed in a controlled environment, for his trusted business manager of 30-plus years. Dylan wrote the song ‘The Times They Are aChangin’’ in the fall of 1963, shortly after Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington, wanting to create an anthem for social justice. As he said, folk music and the Civil Rights movement were natural allies, and he felt he could contribute to the movement by writing a powerful, ‘hypnotic’ anthem. The title track of his third studio album, the song was one of his many timeless pieces that earned Dylan a Nobel Prize in Literature, recognized ‘for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.’ Starting Bid $500

Diverging from acoustic folk music, this album charted a new course for Dylan and took rock music to a new level of complexity and maturity. Divided into an electric and acoustic side, the album features classics such as ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ and ‘Mr. Tambourine Man.’ A superb example of one of Dylan’s greatest albums, deriving from his own personal stock and signed in a controlled environment for his trusted business manager of 30-plus years.

Steve McQueen’s personally-owned brown Resistol cowboy hat with decorative engraved silver band, gifted to photographer Barry Feinstein. The brown fur felt hat is stamped inside the band, “Resistol, Self-Conforming, Hand Creased,” and “Longhorn Ranchwear, Dallas - Mesquite - Sherman, Texas.” In very good to fine condition, with splitting along the edge of the inner band. Steve McQueen’s cowboy roles were central to the image that made him famous: quiet, tough, self-contained, and more expressive through action than dialogue. He first broke through as bounty hunter Josh Randall on the TV western Wanted: Dead or Alive, where his sawed-off Winchester and laconic style helped define his screen persona. He carried that same controlled intensity into film westerns like The Magnificent Seven, often stealing scenes through small gestures rather than big speeches. Even when he moved beyond traditional westerns, McQueen kept something of the cowboy in him: a restless independence, physical confidence, and cool distrust of authority. McQueen and Barry Feinstein were close friends as well as photographer and subject. Feinstein’s access to McQueen came from trust and shared interests, especially fast cars and motorcycles; that rapport let him photograph McQueen in unusually candid settings, from racetracks to the set of Bullitt to relaxed off-duty moments. The result was a body of images that helped preserve McQueen’s ‘King of Cool’ persona while also showing a more intimate, unguarded side.

He first broke through as bounty hunter Josh Randall on the TV western Wanted: Dead or Alive, where his sawed-off Winchester and laconic style helped define his screen persona. In film westerns like The Magnificent Seven, McQueen’s confidence with riding, roping, and action-oriented movement made him feel less like an actor playing a cowboy and more like a natural frontiersman. Even as he moved beyond traditional westerns, that sense of hands-on cowboy competence remained part of his cool, independent screen identity. McQueen and Barry Feinstein were close friends as well as photographer and subject.

Steve McQueen’s cowboy roles helped shape his image as quiet, tough, and quick under pressure, with his gunslinging skills central to that persona. He first broke through as bounty hunter Josh Randall on Wanted: Dead or Alive, where his unusual sawed-off Winchester gave him a distinctive, fast-draw identity. In film westerns like The Magnificent Seven, McQueen’s steady hand, relaxed confidence, and economical movements made his gunplay feel natural rather than showy. Even as he moved beyond traditional westerns, that cool, controlled gunslinger presence remained a defining part of his screen appeal.

Steve McQueen’s authenticity in western roles came as much from his physical command as from his quiet intensity. On Wanted: Dead or Alive, his breakthrough role as bounty hunter Josh Randall, he looked completely at ease on horseback, giving the character a natural frontier credibility. That same confidence carried into film westerns like The Magnificent Seven, where his riding helped make the action feel grounded and convincing. Rather than simply wearing the costume of a cowboy, McQueen seemed to inhabit the role through balance and control in the saddle. McQueen and Barry Feinstein were close friends as well as photographer and subject.

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. 2.3 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. . 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 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 reoffering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake. 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 any 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 fur-
ther 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. The states that are affected are: ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NEVADA, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA,RHODE ISLAND, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, UTAH, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, WISCONSIN 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%. 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 third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that
service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs. All duties, customs, and any other import charges are the responsibility of the bidder.
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) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).
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.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
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.
Section 13 Warranties
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 ”donot-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 subpart (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
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 Auc-
tion, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.
any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and
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.
(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.
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
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 Mas-
sachusetts, 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 DECLARATORY 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 conclusive 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 dam-
ages 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.
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.
