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

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

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

presidents & first ladies Atypically large, seldom-seen full signature of the future first president

1. George Washington. Third-person ADS in Washington’s hand, signed within the text, “George Washington,” one page, 6.5 x 3.25, June 2, 1773. Handwritten receipt, written on the back of an advertisement for “Cards made by James McEvoy Card-maker in Ordinary to Her Majesty Piccadilly St. James’s,” in full: “Received from George Washington the Sum of Twenty three pounds Currt for a dark bay horse sold him at Publick Vendue.” Signed at the conclusion by John Lort. Document has been professionally inlaid into a slightly larger off-white sheet. Double-cloth-matted with a copy of the front of the advertisement, an engraved 15 shilling 1773 Pennsylvania note, three color images of Washington, and a small plaque to an overall size of 41.75 x 23.5. In fine condition, with light show-through from writing on the reverse. One of the finest riders of his time, Washington actively participated in all facets of horsemanship, from breeding and racing to hunting and trading. This receipt holds distinction not only in its relation to the founding father’s favorite pastime, but also in its large, attractive signature. A highly desirable example of Washington’s complete autograph. Oversized. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $1000

Invitation for a French diplomat as the Louisiana Purchase is put into action ini 1803

2. Thomas Jefferson. Third-person ALS as president signed “Th: Jefferson,” one page, 8 x 5, October 29, 1803. In full: “Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to Mr. Pichon. He meant to be understood the other evening as asking the favor of him to dine here to-day with Messrs Soult & Delile. He did not know till last night that Mr. Pichon did not so understand him. He hopes if he has no engagement he will do him the favor of dining here today at half after three.” Second integral page bears an address panel in Jefferson’s hand, “Mr. Pichon.” In very good to fine condition, with several intersecting folds. Accompanied by a copy of Manuscripts, Vol. 68, No. 1 (Winter 2016), which includes an article by Douglass F. Rohrman entitled ‘Invitation to Dine with Thomas Jefferson,’ detailing the events leading up to the Jefferson–Pichon dinner date and showing an image of the letter.

Financial difficulties and an impending war with Britain hastened Napoleon’s decision to sell the entirety of Louisiana to the US for $15 million in 1803. On October 20th, six months after the initial agreement, the United States Senate ratified the purchase, enabling Jefferson to formally take possession of the territories ceded by France and to devise a temporary government the following day. Resolved disputes between the Senate and the House of Representatives led Jefferson to sign the act into law just two days after this letter was written. French charge d’affaires and consul general to the United States, Louis Andre Pichon was a key figure in the swift negotiations of the historic land acquisition. An incredible link to such a vital moment in Jefferson’s presidency. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $1000

Scarce Jefferson–Madison ship’s pass 3.

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

Desirable partlyprinted vellum DS, signed “Th: Jefferson” as president and “James Madison” as secretary of state, one page, 12 x 18, November 10, 1802. Scalloptopped ship’s pass issued for “the Ship Exchange of New Bedford, Timothy Wyer master or commander, of the burthen of two Hundred & fifteen tons or thereabouts, mounted with no guns, navigated with fifteen men. To pass with her Company, Passengers, Goods and Merchandize, without any hindrance, seizure or molestation.” Signed at the conclusion by President Jefferson, Secretary of State Madison, and countersigned by Collector of the Port Ida Pope. The embossed brown seal affixed to the lower left remains intact. In very good condition, with heavy intersecting folds, and scattered staining and soiling; Jefferson’s slightly light signature is in a clear area, unaffected by any flaws. Crowned by its beautiful engraving of a New England harbor and lighthouse, this is an exceptionally attractive dual-signed ship’s pass. Pre-certified PSA/ DNA. Starting Bid $1000

1806 Northwest Territory land grant

4. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

Partly-printed vellum DS, signed “Th: Jefferson” as president and “James Madison” as secretary of state, one page, 14.25 x 7.75, May 20, 1806.

President Jefferson grants Christian Clinker of Columbiana County, Ohio, a quarter lot of land “directed to be sold at Steubenville by the act of Congress.” Signed at the conclusion by Jefferson and countersigned by Madison. The white paper seal affixed to the lower left remains intact. Matted and framed. In very good condition, with moderate overall wrinkling, light soiling, a small hole in the vellum affecting nothing, and the beginning of Jefferson’s signature a bit light. Steubenville was the seat of Jefferson County, Ohio—named for Thomas Jefferson, then vice president, upon its establishment in 1797—and home to the first federal land office. A superb example of a document representing American expansion in its foundational years, signed by one of the most sought-after presidential combinations. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

In a solemn testament to friendship, Jefferson declines to publish the private letters of the late Benjamin Rush “To fasten a man down to all his unreflected expressions, and to publish him to the world in that as his serious & settled form, is a surprise on his judgment and character” 5. Thomas Jefferson. Beautifully penned ALS signed “Th: Jefferson,” one page, 8 x 9.75, August 17, 1816. Written from Monticello, a letter to prominent Philadelphian doctor and horticulturalist James Mease, in part: “I have duly received your favor of the 7th inst. requesting me to communicate to you such letters from the late Dr. Rush to myself as I possess on political, religious, & miscellaneous subjects, with a view to their publication. I possess but few such; but these were of extraordinary confidence; insomuch that, on his death, I requested from his family a return of my letters to him on subjects of this character, which they kindly and honorably did return.

Had I died first, I think it probable he would have made the same request from my family, & with the same view, that of preventing the publication of his letters, or their getting into hands which might expose him, living, or his character when dead, to obloquy from bigots in religion, in politics, or in medicine. When we are pouring our inmost thoughts into the bosom of a friend, we lose sight of the world, we see ourselves only in confabulation with another self; we are off our guard; write hastily; hazard thoughts of the first impression; yield to momentary excitement; because, if we err, no harm is done; it is to a friend we have committed ourselves, who knows us, who will not betray us; but will keep to himself what, but for this confidence, we should reconsider, weigh, correct, perhaps reject, on the more mature reflections and dictates of our reason.

To fasten a man down to all his unreflected expressions, and to publish him to the world in that as his serious & settled form, is a surprise on his judgment and character. I do not mean an inference that there is anything of this character in Doctor Rush’s letters to me: but only that, having been written without intention or preparation for publication, I do not think it within the office of a friend to give them a publicity which he probably did not contemplate.” Reverse of second integral page addressed and franked in Jefferson’s own hand, “free, Th: Jefferson, Doct. James Mease, Philadelphia.” In fine condition, with professional restoration to seal-related paper damage near the free frank hinge; the letter itself displays handsomely.

While compiling an epistolary volume of Rush’s views on religion and politics, Mease, who had studied under the physician at the University of Pennsylvania, appealed to Jefferson for the release of his relevant correspondence. Jefferson, as this letter shows, politely declined the invitation, and for sound reason. In 1813, a publication of private letters threatened to damage his restored relationship with John Adams; encouraged by their mutual friend Benjamin Rush, the pair had reconciled a year earlier after nearly a decade of silence. Mirroring the content of this letter, Jefferson famously denounced the public dispersal of private letters as ‘an instance of inconsistency, as well as of infidelity,’ and deemed them ‘a confidential communication of reflections…from one friend to another…and never meant to trouble the public mind.’ A fabulous letter related to the principles of privacy and publication—a relevant topic no matter the period—augmented by Jefferson’s eloquent prose and beautiful penmanship.

1812 Madison and Monroe ship’s papers for the heavily-laden Hantonia bound for Cork, only months before the outbreak of war 6. James Madison and James Monroe. Partly-printed

DS, signed “James Madison” as president and “Jas. Monroe” as secretary of state, one page, 21 x 16.5, March 7, 1812. A four-language ship’s papers issued to “John Wharf master or commander of the Ship called the Hantonia…lying at present in the port of Portsmouth bound for Cork & a market and laden with Staves, Boards & c., Pine & Oak Timber, Pot & Pearl Ashes, Hay & Clover seed, Cotton & c & c.” Some partial separations and paper loss along the fragile intersecting folds, a vertical fold passing through a single letter of Madison’s signature, and scattered edge wear and toning, otherwise very good condition. The seal is lightly toned, but crisp and intact. One of the major factors of the United States going to war was the stoppage and seizure of American vessels and sailors, which this document sought to prevent. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

7. James Madison. Three items: a full free frank, measuring 9.75 x 8 unfolded

with a center panel of 5.25 x 3.25, docketed January 25, 1820, in another hand, addressed to “General Js. Breckinridge, Richmond,” and franked in the upper right, “Free, James Madison”; and two identical engraved portraits of Madison seated in a chair, published by Johnson, Fry & Co. of New York from the original painting

by Chappel, 7.5 x 10.5, bearing facsimile signatures in the lower borders. Lower borders also bear 1861 copyright notices. In overall very good to fine condition.

Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

8. James Monroe. Partly-printed vellum DS as president, one

page, 12.75 x 9.75, February 8, 1819. President Monroe grants Thomas O’Connor “a certain Tract of Land, containing three Hundred and twenty Acres…in the Territory of Missouri: North.” Signed at the conclusion by Monroe, and countersigned by Commissioner of the General Land Office Josiah Meigs. The white paper seal affixed to the lower left remains intact. In very good condition, with moderately heavy overall soiling. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

“The subject of amendments was a delicate one” 9. James Monroe. ALS signed

“Jas. Monroe,” one page both sides, 7 x 9, Richmond, July 28, 1802. Letter to an unidentified gentleman, in full: “I did not answer yr very friendly letter relative to the accommodation you w’d give me in May sooner, because it was previously necessary to confer with the person for whom I intended it, to ascertain whether he co’d wait that term. I have had the conference and find that he will cheerfully wait the time desired. I shall therefore accept with pleasure this testimony of your friendship. The subject of amendments was a delicate one, with a view to the ultimate success of any proposition from this State.

Propositions of amendment were carried in the H. of Delegates, and finally postponed for present in the Senate, on the idea that the delay might contribute more to the advancement of the object that their adoption immediately. I will forward you a copy of the amendments as soon as I can get them copied.” In fine condition. The enactment of Article V, or the ‘convention clause,’ allowed states to take an active role in proposing amendments to the US Constitution. Monroe’s mentioning of “amendments” and “proposition” likely refers to the eight proposed amendments by John Wayles Eppes and the Virginia General Assembly in early February of 1802. Although the Senate postponed the hearing until sufficient time was allotted—and was ultimately never revisited—Eppes’s fascinating revisions included bills that would ‘prohibit the president from serving two consecutive four-year terms’ and ‘to consider the common law of England as separate from the law of the United States.’ Pre-certified PSA/ DNA. Starting Bid $300

President Jackson’s scandalous cabinet 10. Andrew Jackson and His Cabinet. Ink signatures of Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Samuel D. Ingham, John H. Eaton, John Branch, Edward Livingston, William J. Duane, and Levi Woodbury on an off-white 5.5 x 3.5 slip clipped from a larger document. In very good condition, with closely cropped edges and scattered foxing. This rare assemblage of signatures represents Jackson’s first cabinet, which was intact for only two years from 1829 to 1831 due to the ‘Petticoat Affair,’ a scandal that essentially resulted in the resignation of everyone but the postmaster. Secretary of the Navy John Eaton had married the widowed Peggy O’Neale, who was subsequently ignored by the wives of other cabinet members because of a rumored affair. The tensions became so high that the only adequate resolution was a total reorganization of the cabinet. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

11. Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. Partly-

13. John Tyler.

printed vellum DS, signed “Andrew Jackson” as president and “M. Van Buren” as secretary of state, one page, 10.25 x 14.25, April 13, 1830.

A patent issued to Elijah Skinner, who “hath alleged that he has invented a new and useful improvement in the mode of locking drawers of furniture called the saving lock.” Signed at the conclusion by President Jackson, Secretary of State Van Buren, and Attorney General John M. Berrien. The original green ribbon and white paper seal affixed to the lower left remain intact. Matted and framed. In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

Attractive handwritten letter from President Van Buren 12. Martin Van Buren. ALS

as president, unsigned, one page, 7.25 x 9, no date but circa October 1839.

In full: “Say to Mr Butler Most of it would be more agreeable to him to get the $2000 note we have endorsed for Charles out of the way he may draw on me for the half of it and he & I will keep it subject to a final settlement of the whole matter; but if this is to be done his brother should first convey to some third person all those portions of the property which have been purchased from Strangers, to hold in trust, to be conveyed to us as we shall hereafter agree. I would propose Lucas Green as the trustee.” Docketing on the reverse in another hand reads: “M Van Buren, (Stuyvesant business), Oct 1839.”

Ex. Robert Batchelder, November 16, 1988; sale 68, lot 260. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

On the eve of the Civil War 14.

John Tyler. ALS, one

page, 5 x 8, April 8, 1861. Letter to H. E. Hayden. In full: “Mr. Hayden will please accept this as my autograph. I send him also a paper containing my speech in the Convention now sitting here, on ‘the Peace Conference.’” In fine condition, with mounting remnants along the top back edge. Tyler had emerged from retirement to participate in the Virginia Peace Conference, which sought a peaceful resolution to the tense relations between the states with a view to avoiding civil war. He disagreed with the resolutions drawn up and spoke out against the Convention, ultimately voting for secession. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

15. James K. Polk. ALS, one

page both sides, 7.75 x 10, May 26, 1837. Letter to Col. Samuel H. Laughlin, written while serving as Speaker of the House. In part: “Mr. James Walker is now at Nashville, and will attend to the business you speak of…Will you see him as soon as you receive this…He will I have [no] doubt stay a day or two, to attend to the business…I hope you will see Walker and I have no doubt he will attend to the business, and I desire very much that he should for it would be very inconvenient for me.” Polk also adds a postscript, signing with his initials, “J. K. P.” Intersecting folds (a couple passing through the signature), and small stains and ink blots affecting a few words, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

Taylor verifies the health of his Texan Army in 1845 16. Zachary Taylor. LS signed “Z. Taylor, Bt. Br. Genl., U.S.A. Comdg.,” one page, lightly lined, 7.75 x 9.75, September 4, 1845. Letter to the Adjutant General of the US Army, written from the Headquarters of the Army of Occupation in Corpus Christi, Texas. In part: “The report of sick may appear rather large but the greater number of cases are mild and all are quite free from malignant disorders. I have to acknowledge your communication…directing the discharge of Private Werner.” In fine condition, with show-through from a small piece of tape to the left edge. Taylor and his Army of Occupation were sent to the Texas-Mexico border by President Polk in anticipation of an attack the following spring.

Keeping his enemies close, President Fillmore welcomes a former peer to the Senate 17. Millard Fillmore. ALS as

president, one page both sides, 6.75 x 8.5, March 19, 1851. Letter to newly elected Senator Hamilton Fish. In full: “The telegraph has just brought the gratifying intelligence that you are elected Senator from N. York. I congratulate the State and the country upon the result. The news came while we were in cabinet council, and diffused a general joy. For myself I feel greatly relieved and highly gratified.

I know not what influences have prevailed to effect this desired object, but I took the responsibility of sending your letters to me, to Mr. [George] Babcock, expressing a confident belief that you would if elected give a fair support to my administration, & I can not doubt that it must have produced some effect. I know that in my course I have differed from many friends, but I am sure that time will show that my confidence was not misplaced.” In fine condition.

Despite the kind overtures in this letter, Fillmore and Fish were enemies within their Whig Party. They had both developed their careers under the auspices of Thurlow Weed and his political machine in New York, but Fillmore had split with the party boss in the mid 1840s. At the same time that Fillmore was vice president, Fish was the governor of New York, and the two clashed strongly over the question of patronage appointments; Fillmore thought that his office would hold great influence, but Fish disregarded his recommendations and listened to Weed instead. An interesting, seemingly conciliatory letter within the subtext of party intrigue. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $300

18. Franklin Pierce. Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 8 x 10,

November 21, 1854. President Pierce directs the secretary of state to “affix the Seal of the United States to a treaty concluded with the Shawnee tribe of Indians.” Mild toning along horizontal folds and edges, and some light rippling along top edge, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a 1977 certificate of authenticity from Charles Hamilton. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

“Your state is emphatically the battle ground,” declares the outgoing president, “The field upon which the decisive battle of the Constitution and the Union is to be fought”

19. Franklin Pierce. ALS as president, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.75 x 9.75, September 19, 1856. Marked “Private” at the top, a letter to Charles Brown, a Democratic congressman from Philadelphia, in full: “The inclosed letter from Judge Law—one of our true and able friends in Indiana—came by the mail which reached here tonight. If I knew Genl Lane’s whereabouts at present, I should inclose the letter to him. He left here several days since for Philadelphia. If he is there now with you, do me the favor to show him the letter and then return it to me by mail. I will not believe that we are to lose Indiana and Illinois. But it is vain to say that if defeated in Oct., we can still triumph in Nov. The moral power of the election in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana in October will settle the question one way or the other. We can withstand the shock of any result in the two states last named, if we can but triumph handsomely in the Keystone—This we must do. Your state is emphatically the battle ground—not merely the battle ground upon which the supremacy of parties in a great controlling central state is to be determined, but really the field upon which the decisive battle of the Constitution and the Union is to be fought in October— This so far as I can judge is the universal impression of our friends—With a victory in Penn. we can carry N. H. and I think Connecticut. I inclose herewith a private letter from Col. Wells, which I wish you to return with that of Judge Law. Col. W. you know is the late senator and our candidate for Governor—What do you believe with regard to your state in October? What are the calculations of our friends? Will you send me your calculation, giving each county with its anticipated majority?” Pierce adds a brief postscript, “Our official news from Kansas promises the restoration of order and security there.” In fine condition.

In his effort to expand farmland and implement a Midwestern Transcontinental Railroad, Pierce staunchly promoted and signed the Kansas-Nebraska act of 1854, a law that notoriously condoned the use of popular sovereignty. In addition to nullifying the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and steering the nation towards a civil war, the passing of the bill fractured the Democratic and Whig parties, created the GOP, and ended any chance of a presidential reelection for Pierce. A steadfast loyalist to the Democratic cause, Pierce endorsed nominee James Buchanan when his own bid collapsed, campaigning fervently in advance of the looming local and state elections in October and presidential balloting in November. Prior to his leaving as commander-inchief, Pierce successfully restored order in ‘Bleeding Kansas’ by installing John W. Geary as its territorial governor, a decision shadowed in the letter’s postscript. A uniquely interesting letter that captures Pierce during the final months of his presidency, using the last of his dwindling influence to lobby on behalf of his fellow Democrat and eventual successor.

Amid a divided Democratic party, Buchanan seeks to pacify the South with a pro-slavery bill 20. James Buchanan. ALS as president, one page, 6.25 x 8, Oc-

tober 10, 1857. Letter to Robert Tyler, chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Executive Committee, in full: “Seated comfortably at this place preparing my message & having just heard the favorable news from Kansas, I confess your note of yesterday this moment brought from town has given me much uneasiness. It is the first intimation I have ever received from any quarter that a serious doubt existed as to the success of the Democratic candidate in the city & county of Philadelphia. I cherish the hope that you have written in a moment of gloom that the result on next Tuesday will disappoint your apprehensions. It would be the last calamity for Philadelphia at the present moment to become a Black Republican city & thereby throw herself into the arms of the disunionists. I shall not believe it till I see it. I am always most happy to see you.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds and staple holes to upper left corner.

Buchanan’s mention of “favorable news from Kansas” is in reference to the passing of the Lecompton Constitution a month earlier. Written in response to the 1855 Topeka Constitution, the rival document sought to legalize slavery in Kansas and exclude free blacks from living in Kansas. A proponent of slaveholder rights, Buchanan endorsed the bill and relayed a copy to Congress recommending statehood for Kansas under its provisions. Intent on maintaining the Union, Buchanan’s actions were designed to quell secessionist momentum by appeasing southern interests. However, the Lecompton Constitution, riddled with trick terms and approved through fraudulent polling, did little more than cleave an irreparable rift within the Democratic Party. When Lecompton voter fraud was finally unmasked, a new referendum was held on January 4, 1858, resulting in a vote of 10,226 to 138 in opposition of the pro-slavery proposal.

Bold directive to an adjutant general 21. Abraham Lincoln. Bold Civil War–dated ANS as president

signed “A. Lincoln,” one page on an off-white 3 x 1.75 card, December 12, 1864. In full: “Adjutant General please see & hear the bearer.” In fine condition, with mild discoloration. Accompanied by an attractive hand-tinted 19th-century engraving of President Lincoln; presented with Lincoln’s note, this is an appealing and eminently displayable pairing. A highly desirable and certainly uncommon variety of Lincoln autograph, penned shortly after his reelection in 1864. At this time the Civil War was finally winding down, with well over 650,000 deaths, and the Union victory was on the horizon—U. S. Grant had General Lee besieged in Petersburg, and Sherman had completed his famous ‘March to the Sea.’ This historically significant note, written approximately four months before his assassination, does not appear in the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, and it is an excellent portrayal of Lincoln’s role in overseeing the military, even at this late date in the war.

Endorsing an appointment request for “an original Republican,” Grant’s battlefield surgeon 22. Abraham Lincoln. Bold handwritten and signed endorsement as president, “Submitted to the Secretary of War, A. Lincoln, Jan. 23, 1863,” penned on the reverse of a letter sent to him by Benjamin Brown French, two pages, 7.75 x 9.5, Office of the Commissioner of Public Buildings letterhead, January 21, 1863. French’s letter, in part: “I have just recd. a letter from a very intimate friend, now at Memphis, Tenn. Surgeon John G. F. Holston…I know him to be as accomplished a surgeon as there is in the U. S. He went into service when the war commenced…has been in responsible & difficult positions, has never had a leave of absence or missed a day of duty. He was severely injured in the battles of Iuka & Corinth, & has not been well since…After the battle of Corinth Gen. Grant recommended him for promotion, but he has not received it. Surgeon Holston would be glad to receive the appointment of Medical inspector…I do not believe a better man can be found…My friend Holston was an original Republican, & did excellent service in the cause…I hope he will not remain unrewarded for his untiring duty, for he is always to be relied on.”

Matted and framed with a color portrait, transcript, and nameplate affixed to the glass to an overall size of 25.75 x 29. In fine condition, with intersecting folds and light toning (a line of toning through the date in Lincoln’s endorsement). Oversized.

On October 5, 1862, surgeon John G. F. Holston wired the headquarters of General Grant to relay casualties and losses incurred during the horrific two-day Battle of Corinth—‘am wounded doing well…confed wounded dressed rapidly, their wounded much worse than ours…Men not so good as ours…all operations performed…all sick cared for.’ Impressed by the objectivity and skill with which Holston treated the scores of injured soldiers, Grant issued a recommendation for his promotion, adding that ‘the wounded, both friend and enemy, are much indebted to Surgeon J. G. F. Holston, Medical Director, for his untiring labors in organizing hospitals and providing for their every want.’ The promotion finally crossed the desk of President Lincoln and was swiftly approved at the start of 1863. This would also not be the last time Grant’s high consideration of Holston would come into effect; following his inauguration in the spring of 1869, President Grant appointed the former field surgeon as his own personal doctor, a position he would hold until his own death in 1876.

This case was among the very last that Lincoln addressed before being called to arms as a captain in the Illinois Militia. On April 5, 1832, nearly 1,000 Black Hawk Indian warriors and civilians crossed the Mississippi River into Illinois in an attempt to reclaim their land. In defense of the state, the 23-year-old Lincoln, who had recently announced his candidacy for the Illinois House of Representatives, responded to the governor’s call for volunteer militia. Luhrs, one of the former owners of this document, was a well-known collector from the 1930s to 1960 who purchased items from the most famed autograph dealers of the day.

I was quite sincere in asking you and Isabelle down to Washington and would have been glad to see you, but I am frank to say, in second, sober thought, that I think it well, perhaps, that you did not come. Though I uttered the invitation in Carrie’s hearing, and it was quite natural, and I think she thought nothing of it then, if you had come and Mrs. H had shown any courtesies (as I hoped she might) there might have been a storm from Carrie’s quarters. Moreover, Mrs. H. was not in shape to show the courtesies I had hoped for. Yet I should be delighted to see you and yours, and shall still hope for the time when that pleasure may be mine. It appears that ‘my plate is broken’ with Carrie. I am in contempt, but just the same I would gladly show her every consideration, and still hope for the day when agreeable relations all around can be reasonably be [sic] restored.

I should be proud to show her attention. She is an admirable and adorable young woman. Of course if you come you will let me know. I’ll gladly welcome you.” Intersecting folds, binding dings to left edge, an ink blot to the salutation, and some staining to the reverse, otherwise fine condition.

James Phillips was a successful storeowner and member of the Marion social elite, along with Warren G. Harding and his wife Florence, who became very close with Phillips’s wife Carrie almost immediately. Following the loss of the Phillips’ two-year-old son, a grieving Carrie turned to Warren for consolation, sparking an on-again, off-again affair that would last throughout Harding’s terms as senator. When Carrie threatened to expose the details of their affair during his 1920 campaign for the presidency, the Republican Party wilted to her demands—a fully financed tour of Asia and the Pacific Islands, and an annual stipend for the remainder of her life. With both betrayed spouses aware of the affair, this letter shows Harding, “in second, sober thought,” withdrawing a recent invitation to the Phillips family, and deflecting blame on Florence with the suggestion that she “was not in the shape” for such courtesy. An odd and revealing letter from a man whose unburied scandals would later rock his brief presidential legacy. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $300

Honoring a decade of peace on the anniversary of Armistice Day 56. Calvin Coolidge. Typed manuscript, 17 pages, 6.25 x 9, signed on the final

page, “Calvin Coolidge.” Contemporary typescript copy of President Coolidge’s speech on the 10th anniversary of Armistice Day. In part: “We meet to give thanks for 10 more years of peace. Amid the multitude of bounties which have been bestowed upon us, we count that our supreme blessing. In all our domestic and foreign relations our chief concern is that it should be permanent. It is our belief that it is coming to be more and more realized as the natural state of mankind.

Yet, while we are placing our faith in more complete understanding which shall harmonize with the universal conscience, we ought not to forget that all the rights we now possess, the peace we now enjoy, have been secured for us by a long series of sacrifices and of conflicts. We are able to participate in this celebration because our country had the resources, the character, and the spirit to raise, equip, and support with adequate supplies an Army and a Navy, which, by placing more than 2,000,000 men on the battle fields of Europe contributed to the making of the armistice on the 11th day of November, 1918…As we contemplate the past 10 years, there is every reason to be encouraged. It has been a period in which human freedom has been greatly extended, in which the right of self-government has come to be more widely recognized.

Strong foundations have been laid for the support of these principles. We should by no means be discouraged because practice lags behind principle. We make progress slowly and over a course which can tolerate no open spaces. It is a long distance from a world that walks by force to a world that walks by faith. The United States has been so placed that it could advance with little interruption along the road of freedom and faith…It is befitting that we should pursue our course without exultation, with due humility, and with due gratitude for the important contributions of the more ancient nations which have helped to make possible our present progress and our future hope. The gravest responsibilities that can come to a people in this world have come to us. We must not fail to meet them in accordance with the requirements of conscience and righteousness.” In fine condition, with a small tear and a bit of surface loss to the top of the signed page. It is likely that this is a section removed from a larger manuscript or book proposal—it appears as though it was once bound, and the pages are numbered in pencil.

While the speech is present in its entirety, the page numbering begins at 9 and ends at 25. A stirring, boldly signed speech.

I am glad to know of your high opinion of Mr. Harrison’s qualifications, and do want to assure you that your statements on his behalf will have every consideration when the question of filling the existing vacancy on the Court is taken up.” In fine condition. Roosevelt had grown frustrated with the Supreme Court’s striking down of his New Deal legislation, and a year earlier he had introduced an ultimately unsuccessful ‘court packing’ plan in an effort to sway the balance of the Court in his favor. In this instance he was evaluating candidates to fill the vacancy left after the death of Benjamin N. Cardozo, eventually nominating Felix Frankfurter at the beginning of 1939. Precertified PSA/DNA.

He is honest and law abiding and while we would like very much to see him become a member of the fraternity, my purpose in writing…you is to get a ruling on whether or not we should accept his petition for the degrees in the order.”

Truman became a Mason 1909, ultimately being elected Grand Master of Missouri in 1940. Considered to be the most active Mason of any president since George Washington, Truman took his vows seriously, as made evident in this firm reply. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

Truman’s cabinet shake-up, establishing the secretary of defense 64. Harry S. Truman.

Truman.” An official seating chart for the octagonal meeting table in the Cabinet Room in the White House, listing the president at the center, surrounded by his cabinet ministers including the secretaries of labor, agriculture, defense, state, treasury, interior, and commerce, the attorney general, and the postmaster general. In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold. The seating plan for cabinet meetings had to be revised following the National Security Act of 1947, which unified the branches of America’s armed forces and therefore abolished the positions of secretary of war and secretary of the navy; instead, the entirety of the military was to be overseen by the secretary of defense. Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal was promoted to the position and took this new seat on September 17, 1947.

The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you…But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned!”

I profoundly hope that the proposals I made can expeditiously be translated into projects that will bring about greater material progress and political stability in the Mid East, as well as a world atmosphere in which negotiations for a just peace can go forward, I earnestly believe that the people of the United States are eager to do everything possible to further these goals.” In very good to fine condition, with a light block of toning in the lower part of the latter. On August 15, 1958, President Eisenhower outlined a six-point plan for peace in the Middle East to a special session of the United Nations General Assembly. Among its plans, the speech expressed concerns for Lebanon and explained the use of US troops in that country—a month earlier Ike sent 15,000 Marines and soldiers to Lebanon as part of Operation Blue Bat, a non-combat mission intended to stabilize the pro-Western government and to prevent a radical revolution.

on both sides of a 6.25 x 9.25 sheet of United States Senate letterhead. Kennedy has penned the second sheet of a speech he delivered as a senator, adhering to ideas gleaned from Abbott Lawrence Lowell’s 1932 publication Conflict of Principles, in full: “Lowell/ Lawrence. Holmes once said to him that the art of life consists in making correct guesses on insufficient information—insufficient because we can never know all the elements that enter into a right decision. 1st.

Compromise means many things besides deserting principle. It often signifies getting as much as can be attained at the time, rather than lose by striving for the impossible. 2nd. The term may imply no departure whatever from the principle at stake or from the end sought, but a selection of the means that will be most likely to attain the result desired and thus carry into effect the principle behind it. The process is often painful, and involves either a conflict or a compromise—that is an adjustment of conflicting principles & neither of them are strictly true, to the nearest feasible approximation to the proportionate amount of truth each contains under actual conditions.” In fine condition, with a diagonal crease to the upper left.

I am delighted to have this book in my personal collection, and I know that both my family and I will turn to it often. It is heartening that you have been able to synthesize in this one book so many of your insights on the role of the city in the development of Western culture. I hope that during my Administration we shall be able to alleviate some of the glaring urban needs which you describe and analyze so powerfully.” Archivally double-matted and framed with a portrait of Kennedy and a name plaque. In fine condition.

Kennedy took great care in endorsing the nation’s culture, honoring leading writers, artists, poets, and musicians throughout his presidency. Kennedy also sought to raise aesthetic standards in the design of federal buildings and promoted historic preservation. Mumford, this letter’s recipient, was internationally renowned for his writings on cities, architecture, technology, literature, and modern life, and once praised JFK as ‘the first American President to give art, literature and music a place of dignity in the national life.’ Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

JFK’s monogrammed silk Sulka scarf 71. John F. Kennedy. Kennedy’s personallyowned and -worn luxurious white silk scarf with black-and-white fringed edges, measuring 48˝ long and 15.25˝ wide, made by A. Sulka & Company, with the monogram “JKF” intricately cut and embroidered on one end. The Sulka label is sewn on an inside corner. In fine condition, with a few light stains. Originates from the Robert L. White Collection, Guernsey’s, 1998.

John F. Kennedy wore this handsome men’s evening scarf early in his congressional career before marrying the equally fashionable Jacqueline Bouvier. He would have sported this elegant accouterment to his dress coat on blustery days at home in New England or brisk evenings in the nation’s capital. Kennedy’s affinity for Sulka products was well-known, and he owned many of their men’s accessories, including scarves and neckties. JFK’s status as an American fashion icon make pieces worn by him incredibly desirable. As a personally-monogrammed wardrobe element of extraordinary quality—and originating from the world-renowned Kennedy collection of Robert L. White—this silk scarf is a quintessential piece of presidential history. Starting Bid $1000

Weighing in on an anti-abortion measure, “one of the most important issues of our time” 76. Ronald Reagan. TLS as president signed “Ron,” one page, 7 x 10.5, White

In full: “This is just a note to express my profound appreciation for your taking the lead in filing the cloture petition on Senator Helms’ anti-abortion amendment to the debt ceiling bill. As you know, this is a subject about which I feel very deeply.

You are providing the Senate an opportunity to stand up and be counted on what I think is one of the most important issues of our time. I am expending my efforts to support the cloture petition and the passage of the substantive amendment. I would like to see our fellow Republicans in the Senate help us to close off debate so that we can deal with this issue speedily and efficiently. I should also make it clear my support for the Helms anti-abortion amendment does not preclude my continuing support for other moves by the Congress to curb abortions.” In fine condition. Reagan’s administration was silent on the issue of abortion until 1982, when Jesse Helms introduced an amendment to a debt ceiling bill that would ban federal funding and encourage challenges against Roe v. Wade. The bill was filibustered and the result of the vote for cloture was unsuccessful, and the measure was not passed once it did come to a vote. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $200

notables Declaration of Independence Signers Called upon by a scientific radical, Franklin promises to attend an “Exhibition of those ingenious Experiments”

154. Benjamin Franklin. Magnificent Revolutionary War–dated ALS signed “B. Franklin,” one page, 7 x 9, March 13, 1779.

Letter to “the Representative of the Author of Experiments on the igneous Fluid,” Jean-Paul Marat. In full: “I think my self much honour’d by the Invitation, and shall endeavour to be present at the farther Exhibition of those ingenious Experiments, when I am informed of the Day and Hour appointed by the Committee.” Handsomely mounted, matted, and framed with a portrait. In fine condition. Both this letter and Marat’s invitation are published in The Papers of Benjamin Franklin.

Much in the same mold as Franklin, Jean-Paul Marat was an important political theorist who was also an amateur scientist. At this time, Marat had set out to challenge the prevailing understanding of the nature of fire. He believed that a fluid, which he termed ‘fluid igne,’ emanated from fire and could be made visible using an instrument he invented called the microscope solaire.

He devised a series of over one hundred experiments that he claimed would prove his theory and performed them in front of a commission appointed by the Academie des Sciences. Franklin was invited to attend—this letter was his initial response— and he would do so on several occasions, at times even assisting Marat in the experiments. Although Marat misinterpreted the results and most Academie members were skeptical of his findings, this is an outstanding letter with uncommon scientific content that shows Franklin’s true passion for discovery.

Land grant issued by the Supreme Executive Council of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in which Manuel Solliday receives “a Certain Tract of Land called ‘Manuelston’ Situate on the West bank of Brodheads Creek in Northampton County.” Crisply signed on the left side by Franklin as president of the Supreme Executive Council, and countersigned at the conclusion by James Trimble.

The white paper seal affixed to the upper left remains partly intact, with outward points torn and absent. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered light staining and soiling, and a small area of paper loss to lower edge.

Franklin served as the sixth and longest-running president of the Supreme Executive Council of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a position he held from October 18, 1875, to November 5, 1788. The Constitutional Convention was taking place in Philadelphia at the time Franklin signed this document, and he would soon be appointed to the ‘Grand Committee’ that was in charge of negotiating a consensus between the various factions of delegates.

The 23-year-old Hancock writes his brother from 1760 London, relaying good wishes on their sister’s marriage and inquiring about the family slaves

156. John Hancock. Exquisite ALS signed “Jno. Hancock,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7 x 8.75, December 27, 1760. Letter to his brother, Ebenezer Hancock, in part: “I have before me yo’r agreeable Letters of Nov’r 6th by Capt Bride, & desire you will write one by every oppry [opportunity] & acquaint me more particularly with the Circumstances of my Uncle’s Family. I am glad to hear you are well, & earnestly beg you will give great Attention to Business, & let yo’r Conduct be such as to merit the Esteem of all about you, & Remember that the Diligent Hand maketh Rich. I hope at on my Return to find you a Compleat Merch’t I am much please’d at the Advantages you have before you, of which I doubt not but you will make the proper Improvement.

I observe by yo’r Letter our Sister is Married, & that you was with them at the Celebration of it, I wish them great Happiness & Satisfaction, & I hope they will meet with nothing to Interrupt their Quiet, they have my best wishes, I shall write you again soon.

Have me Remembered in the strongest Terms of Affection to my Uncle & Aunt Love to all in the Family, particularly Hannah & Betsy. How is Molly, & how does Cate behave. Is Agniss a Breeding, Is Prince as gouty as ever, & Hannibal as peevish as formerly tell him I think of him, as he was the last of the family I saw on the Wharf. How is Thomas & in short all. I have been lately ill, but am upon the Recovery, hope soon to get abroad again. I wish you, with Hannah Betsy & all the family many happy New Years.” He adds another thought to the adjoining page, in full: “Tell Hannah that Mr Barnard’s where I am ill, is a young woman who is Remarkably Tender & kind to one in any Illness, & often brings her to my mind, that I am as well attended as I could ever desire, & that I am very well off, but had much rather be ill, if I must be so, where my Aunt & she is, But that this young woman is exactly the Image of her in Respect of a good and tender Nurse.” Also addressed on the reverse by Hancock, “To Mr Ebenezer Hancock Jr., Boston.” In very good to fine condition, with separations along very fragile intersecting folds, professional repairs to small edge splits, and light overall toning.

In 1760, Hancock lived in London while learning the English side of his uncle and adoptive father Thomas Hancock’s merchant firm; John would inherit the firm and family fortune after Thomas passed away four years later. He happily notes his sister Mary’s marriage to Richard Perkins, and asks about the rest of the family, including his uncle and aunt Thomas and Lydia Hancock, as well as aunts Hannah and Betsy. Most interestingly, however, he inquires about “Molly,” asks if “Cato” was behaving, is curious if “Agniss” was pregnant or having children, queries whether “Prince” still had the gout, and if “Hannibal” remained “peevish.”

These were the Hancock family’s slaves, who lived with them at their mansion on Beacon Hill in Boston. Hancock was clearly compassionate towards the slaves, considering them a normal part of the family—he was generous enough to bring them gifts upon his return to Boston. A very early and interesting family letter from one of the nation’s most famous founders. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $1000

Supreme Court Justices Marshall’s landmark early victory in a 1786 Lord Fairfax lawsuit 170. John Marshall. ADS, signed “J. Marshall,” one page, 7.25 x 5.5, May 22, 1790. A financial document.

Accompanied by an engraved portrait.

Referring to a lawsuit fifty years in the making, this document concerns a payment for Marshall’s legal services. Jost Hite had secured rights to 40,000 acres worth of land in the Shenandoah Valley back in 1731 and was permitted to pick and choose the best tracts, rather than a single wide swath. Lord Thomas Fairfax, the owner of the millions of acres comprising Northern Neck, charged that Hite’s ‘gerrymandering’ of the property constituted ‘conspicuous trespass upon his proprietary rights’ and initiated the Fairfax vs. Hite lawsuit. When Jost Hite died in 1760, Isaac Hite continued the legal battle and the General Court sided with the Hites in 1769 and 1771, triggering a Fairfax appeal. Fairfax passed away in 1781 while the case was still pending but in 1786, Marshall represented the tenants of Lord Fairfax and won his case and from this time he maintained the leadership of the bar of Virginia. This was a landmark case early in his legal career that established him as a formidable lawyer, eventually leading to his significant 1801 appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Letter to Don Genovevo de La O., in full (translated): “The present letter will be presented into your hands by Colonel Joaquin Rojas, whom I recommend to you for using his services, which I had already offered to you previously. This gentleman has been working as an agent in Mexico in this Headquarters to advise and inform on the situation of the enemies since December 15 of the past year; he has been in continuous correspondence with me. So much for this, as well as for the previous experience that I already have, I am convinced of his loyalty to our cause and, furthermore, he has been in Mexico the last few months. He had to enter Cuernavaca in July of this year to pick-up an electric battery to be delivered to General Benjamin Garcia. He was denounced by Jesus M. Ochoa, who previously had been his secretary, and conducted to prison in Cuernavaca. He was brought to Mexico four months later. After about one more month he obtained his freedom in November and, afterwards, he entered in contact with this Headquarters and with you. For this reason, you can follow up by giving him employment in your forces without any fear because I have widely examined him already.” Partial separations to central horizontal and vertical folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature), a small tear to left edge, some scattered light soiling, and tack holes to left edge, otherwise fine condition. Zapata, like Genovevo de la O, the recipient of this letter, was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution that removed President Porfirio Diaz from power. Viewed by many as one of Mexico’s outstanding national heroes, Zapata earned reverence from peasant and indigenous citizens who viewed him as a practical revolutionary intent on implementing the liberties and agrarian rights outlined in the Plan of Ayala.

Exceptional pair of letters from Spain’s revered royal couple 195. Ferdinand and Isabella. Pair of boldly penned

letters in old Spanish. First, an LS signed by King Ferdinand at the center, “Yo el Rey,” [I the King] one page 8 x 11.5, dated February 21, 1512. Letter to the senior accountants of his daughter, Queen Joanna of Castile, in full (translated): “Senior accountants and reconcilers and confirmers and senior scribes of confirmations of privileges and chancellor and notaries and other officials who are in the office of the seal of the most serene queen and princess, my very dear and very beloved daughter: I have been informed by Don Yñigo de Velasco, constable of Castile, senior chamberlain of the said most serene queen and princess, my daughter, that he wished to have copied and confirmed the privileges of maravedíes in the form of bonds and other things that he has, and that if he had to pay the fees for the said privileges and confirmations, he would receive great injury, because due to the fact that he holds the said office of senior chamberlain of the said most serene queen, my daughter, he ought to be relieved of them. He petitioned me to order that he not be charged them, and taking into consideration the fact that the said constable holds the said office of senior chamberlain, and that the senior chamberlain has the same grounds to be exempt from paying fees of this sort as the others who are exempt in virtue of the ordinances of these kingdoms, and that already on a previous occasion I and the most serene queen, my wife (may she rise in glory), ordered that his father, the constable Don Pero Fernandez de Velasco, not be charged the said fees, on the grounds that he was our senior chamberlain, I thought it right. Therefore I order you not to charge the said constable or consent that he be charged any fees from the fees for his privileges and confirmations, but rather that you dispatch and issue them to him free of all fees, as and in the manner that they are issued and dispatched to the others who are exempt from paying the aforesaid fees in virtue of the said ordinances, and that you not do otherwise. Done in Burgos on the 21st day of the month of February of the year one thousand five hundred twelve.” Unable to cope with the tragic death of her husband Philip six years prior, ‘Joanna the Mad’ was deemed mentally ill and confined to a nunnery, with a large staff responsible for her day-to-day business.

Second, an LS signed by Queen Isabella towards the top-center, “Yo la Reyna,” [I the Queen] one page, 8.5 x 11.75, dated May 31, 1501. Letter ordering a Grecian countess be paid a large some of money, in part (translated): “I order you, from any maravedies you have received in any way by my order, to give and pay at once to the Greek countess eighteen thousand seven hundred fifty maravedíes, of which I make her a grant. And obtain a receipt, with which and with this my warrant I account you free and quit of the said eighteen thousand seven hundred fifty maravedies. And I order my senior accountants to admit and include in your accounts the said eighteen thousand seven hundred fifty maravedies. Done in Granada on the 31st day of the month of May of the year one thousand five hundred and one.” At the time of this letter, Spain was lending military help to the Republic of Venice in the Second Ottoman-Venetian War, fought over the contested territories surrounding the Aegean, Ionian, and Adriatic Seas.

I will get them for the same salary that we pay to cowboys, and will have it in their contracts that they are not only to assist in the great train robbery, but also in the introductory and other battle scenes….

Do you think it would be possible for us to get those Indians, who are now playing at the Hippodrome, in the Spring? If we could, it would save us the transportation for new Indians….I think we should have as many new cuts for our Rough Rider and program as possible. Oh, I forgot to say, that these men I am engaging for the train robbery, as well as the cowboys, will have to have their railroad fares and their saddles, chaps, etc….I am very glad that every thing is going so satisfactorily at that end. I feel sure that we are going to give the best show that we have ever given, that is if the cars for the train robbery will be all right.

There was some publicity and newspaper articles got out about the great train robbery that we are going to produce…So if Pawnee Bill or any other parties get up a train robbery, it cannot be helped…their’s will simply be a farce.

The Revolution’s notorious traitor files suit 321. Benedict Arnold. Manuscript DS, signed “B.

Arnold,” one page, 7 x 8, October 5, 1790. A legal document in which “Benedict Arnold the plaintiff in this cause maketh oath that Freeman Hughes…is justly and truly indebted to this deponent in the… sum of one hundred thirty seven pounds, ten shillings and sixpence.” Signed at the conclusion by Arnold and countersigned by Joshua Upham, a judge in the Supreme Court of New Brunswick, Canada. In fine condition, with intersecting folds (a horizontal fold passing through the signature), some light dampstaining, and show-through from docketing to reverse. Arnold moved to Saint John, New Brunswick in 1785, where he established a business doing trade with the West Indies; he became thoroughly disliked in the area due to a series of bad business deals and legal battles—this document certainly pertaining to one. Both Loyalists and Americans turned against him, and after winning a slander suit against a former business partner, the townspeople burned him in effigy in front of his house as his family watched. After six years of controversy and resentment, Arnold returned to London in December 1791. Benedict Arnold documents are scarce and always desirable, this example being especially so as it relates to his sordid legacy in the Americas. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $300

Did Colonel Horatio Rogers command it at Gettysburg? I will substitute your name as leading the advance on the retreat from Middleburg instead of that of Captain Bixbie. The account I gave if I remember rightly was taken in a great measure from reports in The Rebellion Record…I would like to purchase the work referred to in the criticism called Sabres and Spurs.

D.…I hardly know where to look for an account of the charge of the 2d. R. I. Infantry at Salem Heights but will try and find the official report of the Colonel if it is published…I consulted General Newton and General Shaler in reference to the operations of the 6th Corps.”

In part: “I have the honor to report that in the march from Catlett’s Station to Falmouth—a distance of 28 miles—the 2d New York Cavalry (popularly known as the Harris Light Cavalry) had the ‘front,’ and, as you have already learned, no doubt, met the enemy’s cavalry about 3 miles south of the Spotted Tavern, where my advanced guard received the first fire and charge of the Rebels, and where our men proved that they could not only receive, sustain, but return a charge. It was but a rush and a blow, and we saw the backs of our foe from that point to within a mile of Col. Lee’s camp. We skirmished with the enemy, driving him before us. Col. Lee’s whole force had left his camp to give us battle. I ordered Major Davies with his Battalion forward. Although this Battalion had not yet been engaged, they charged at a run and Lee’s cavalry was forced on fences into the woods in all directions to avoid the rush of our men and their biting sabres.

We took several prisoners, killed and wounded five, and captured many horses. I regret to state that Lieut. Nelson J. Decker, of Co. D, fell at the head of his men, at the site of the rebel camp—a brave soldier and more gallant gentleman the Army does not furnish.” In fine condition.

In fine condition, with intersecting folds, and a bit of scattered light toning and soiling.

For the year preceding this letter, George Pickett and his fellow officers of the 9th Infantry prepared themselves for Indian fighting on the far western frontier, learning infantry tactics, shooting target practice, and withstanding ‘physical toughening’ to prepare for the lengthy marches to come. When they finally arrived at Puget Sound, Washington, hostilities were at their peak, with the army indiscriminately exterminating Indians and tribes increasing their ambushes on unsuspecting bases. Responding to a call for a military post on Bellingham Bay, Pickett and his men set to work building Fort Bellingham in August of 1856; he would remain there for the next three years.

Civil War weapons, uniforms, & artifacts Rare Confederate Fayetteville Type IV 337. Civil War Confederate Fayetteville Type IV Percussion Rifle. Civil War Confederate Fayetteville

Type IV Percussion Rifle, approximately .67 caliber, 33˝ smoothbore barrel with a fine, lightly freckled bore. This is a so-called ‘Model 1855’ two band rifle that was altered to smoothbore at some point and given an enlarged bore diameter. The metal has an overall dark plum-brown patina with areas of light-moderate pitting, heaviest at the breechend of the barrel and on the nipple bolster. Some further impact marks and minor scratches are present near the muzzle, as well as some small spots of white paint on the right side, and the rear sight is a single notch replacement.

Additionally, vise marks are present on the left side of the barrel breech. The 1864 dated lockplate matches the patina on the barrel, with the characteristic inverted “S” in the “CSA,” and lacks the ‘hump’ present on the earlier types of Fayetteville arms. The walnut stock is not equipped with a patchbox, and has numerous small handling marks and small surface blemishes scattered throughout, as well as a stable with-the-grain crack running forward from the rear lock screw bolster, and some small chips missing from around the top tang. The wood retains an old varnish finish that thins considerably at the butt, and has a deeply carved set of initials on the left side opposite the lock, “SB.” The brass furniture has developed a dark ochre-brown patina, including the “CSA” marked buttplate. The rifle is equipped with an original metal ramrod that is slightly bent near the head and shortened by about 2˝. The lock is mechanically excellent and functions firmly and flawlessly. This is a rare, late-war Confederate rifle in very good condition overall. As an antique gun this will transfer without any restrictions. Starting Bid $500

Illinois infantryman’s Enfield “drawn at Siege of Vicksburg” 338. Civil War Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle-Musket.

Civil War Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle-Musket identified to Pvt. William P. McLaughlin of the 126th Illinois Infantry, approximately .59 caliber, 39˝ smoothbore barrel with a dark, moderately freckled bore. This is a Tower marked, 1861 dated Enfield that has been altered to smoothbore and has an overall freckled brown patina on the metal.

The breech-end of the barrel and the lock have areas of light-moderate pitting, and the hammer nose has a small chip missing. The walnut stock has an old varnish finish throughout with numerous handling marks and blemishes present throughout, including a large chip on the left side just behind the lower band, and a small oblong area where a small plate or plaque used to be inset. There is a stable with-the-grain crack running forward from the rear lock screw bolster, the original ramrod is still present, and the middle band is missing. The left side of the butt is extensively carved: “W. P. McLaughlin, Co. B 126. Reg. Ill., Vol. Inft., Drawen at Seige of Vicksbur[g], June 1863.”

William P. McLaughlin enlisted as a private on August 11, 1862, and mustered into Co. B of the 126th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, which took part in the Siege of Vicksburg as part of Col. Jonathan Richmond’s Brigade on Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman’s exterior line. The regiment was commanded by Maj. William W. Wilshire at the time. Pvt. McLaughlin was evidently issued this Enfield during the siege, and retained it after his discharge in July of 1865. It was probably he who had it bored out for use as a peacetime fowler. This is a splendid piece of history, identified to a specific Union soldier who participated in one of the pivotal actions of the whole war. As an antique gun this will transfer without any restrictions. Starting Bid $300

Wright meets nine young fliers nearing the end of their 20,000-mile air tour of America 385. Orville Wright. Vintage glossy 9.75 x 8 photo of Wright

meeting with nine young pilots known as the ‘Sky Fleet,’ signed in ink by all pictured, with Wright signing diagonally in the center below his image. Among the other signers are “Lt. Sheldon B. Yoder,” “Lieut. A. F. Kalberer,” “Lieut. A. C. Lybarger,” “Lieut.

Wright declines an invitation, fearing train travel will aggravate an “old injury” 387. Orville Wright. TLS, one page trimmed in size to 7.25 x 8, personal letterhead, March 22, 1930.

Wright writes to Mr. Johnson. In part: “Please pardon my long delay in answering you letter … inviting me to attend the ceremonies at the Colonnade of the Hall of Fame at New York University. Travel is difficult for me. As a result of an old injury, the vibration of railroad travel brings on attacks of sciatica. For this reason I can not tell in advance whether or not I would be able to make the trip….” The condition Wright describes may well be related to his aviation accident on September 17, 1908, which killed his passenger, Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge—the first airplane fatality.

Apollo 15 Robbins medal made from the storied ‘1715 Spanish Plate Fleet’ silver

404. Apollo 15. Apollo 15 Robbins Medal, approximately 1.5˝ diameter, with a raised design on the face of the Apollo 15 mission insignia. The reverse of the sterling silver medal is engraved “Man’s Flight Through Life Is Sustained by the Power of His Knowledge” along with the July 26, 1971, launch date; July 30, 1971, moon landing date; and August 7, 1971, return date. This medal is serial numbered “143” along the rim and was not flown. Medal comes in its original case, also numbered “143.” Condition is mint state. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Dave Scott stating, in part: “I hereby certify that approximately 20% of the silver contained in the Apollo 15 silver medallion number ‘143’ included with this letter was part of a [1 kg] silver ingot salvaged from the famous ‘1715 Spanish Plate Fleet’ that was destroyed by a hurricane almost 300 years ago.

This ingot was carried in my Personal Preference Kit (PPK) during Apollo 15, July 26-August 7, 1971. Upon return to Earth, the Spanish silver was mixed with silver from certain Apollo 15 medallions that had been stored on Earth prior to launch to form the combined-silver Apollo 15 medallions such as #143…Prior to the mission, 304 medallions were struck [but due to weight limitations only 127 were carried on the flight]…After the mission the Robbins Company restruck the 177 medallions that had not flown and included the flown Spanish silver bar in the mix…This Apollo 15 medallion serial number ‘143’ has been in my personal collection since the mission.” Prior to Apollo 15, the entire run of medallions had been carried on each flight; but because of spacecraft weight limitations resulting from additional payload on Apollo 15 (the first extended scientific exploration of the Moon), this mission could only carry 127 on board. Though unflown in their final format, these post-mission medallions (as noted by the correct spelling of ‘Apennine’) do contain flown silver from the Spanish Plate Fleet ingot—which clocked twice as much lunar flight time as any complete medallions carried on any flight before Apollo 15—combining 300 years of adventure, from Old World sea exploration to the modern world of space exploration.

Signed and flight-certified on the reverse in black felt tip by Dave Scott, “This map was used aboard Lunar Rover #1 during Apollo 15, July 26–Aug. 7, 1971. Dave Scott, Apollo 15 CDR.” In fine condition, with expected wear from use. Accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from Apollo 15 Commander Scott, in part: “I hereby certify that the Apollo 15 Lunar Rover ‘Contour Map’…was carried aboard Lunar Roving Vehicle #1 on the surface of the Moon for three days during Apollo 15…This Contour Map…consists of a section of the Hadley Apennine region on the Moon with contour lines depicting the relative height above the base altitude of the Moon as well the planned route of the Lunar Roving Vehicle traverse during the first of three EVAs on Apollo 15…The Map also includes crate names and planned exploration stations for EVA–1. Circular notes at each station define the bearing and distance from the station back to the Lunar Module Falcon. This map was used for relative heights along the traverse route as well as emergency return to the LM in the event the Lunar Rover was unable to return…This map was mounted on the Rover throughout the three days of surface excursions to be readily available…The Map contains traces of lunar dust surface and was exposed to the temperatures extremes, radiation, and Solar Wind on the surface of the Moon…This LRV Contour Map for EVA–1 has been in my personal collection since returning to earth.” Crucial to the mission’s extensive lunar exploration, this Apollo 15 contour map exists as a true space relic used directly on the surface of the moon.

Lunar flown ‘sample containment bag’ from the historic Apollo 15 mission 406. Apollo 15. Large flown sample containment bag carried

on board Apollo 15, measuring 17.5 x 10.25 x 7.5, annotated in black felt tip, “LM Return Items For Crew.” The off-white beta bag is labeled on its front, “Sample Containment Bag,” and just below, “8,” and features a set of four snap tie-down straps to secure the bag and its contents during the subsequent reentry and landing on Earth; the bag contains traces of lunar dust from equipment used on the moon’s surface. The bottom of the bag bears faint ID numbering, “LOW340–60791–1, 0006.”

In fine condition, with expected wear from use. Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott, in part: “I hereby certify that the Apollo 15 ‘Sample Containment Bag, 8’ included with this letter was carried aboard the Lunar Module ‘Falcon’ to store lunar samples and equipment returned from the surface of the Moon during the first extended scientific exploration of the Moon…As part of the extensive arrangements to prevent potential contamination of lunar samples prior to examination by scientists, and to protect the earth from potential lunar pathogens, provisions were made to clean and bag all equipment exposed to the lunar surface. The Apollo lunar surface Sample Containment Bags (SCBS) were filled with lunar soil and rock samples as well as surface equipment such as film magazines and cameras—such samples and photos were the primary objectives of Apollo missions. Great care was necessary to keep the lunar samples as pristine as possible as well as to control the amount of lunar dust in the spacecraft. As a result, specially designed polyester Beta-cloth bags were provided to package groups of samples for transfer from the LM Falcon to the Command Module (CM) Endeavor after rendezvous in lunar orbit. The bag included snap tie-down straps to secure the bag and its contents during return to Earth and subsequent reentry and landing. This SCB number 8 was stored in the LM Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA) for Earth launch and landing on the Moon. It was retrieved from the MESA during EVA-3 to package individual samples collected during the final exploration of Hadley Rille as well as samples collected in the vicinity of the LM prior to final closeout before launch. This bag contains traces of lunar dust from sample collection bags and equipment returned from the Moon...This Sample Containment Bag, number 8, has been in my personal collection since returning to Earth.” The continued technological advancement of the Apollo program enabled its fifteenth mission to achieve a myriad of scientific firsts—the debut of the lunar rover, the affirmation of Galileo’s gravitational theory, and the collection of 170 pounds of lunar material, portions of which were stored and transported within this very bag. Augmented by its rock-solid provenance, this sample containment bag exists as a remarkable, lunar-flown piece of Apollo history. Starting Bid $1000

A massive offering: Spacelab’s pioneering crystal growth experiment 450. Spacelab Crystal Growth Experiment. Equip-

ment for conducting the Spacelab microgravity crystal growth experiments, including the primary experiment unit, eyepieces, and a video display. The main unit measures 19 x 42 x 38 and features a Zeiss binocular microscope in the center with knobs for adjusting magnification factor and focus. Below are the controls for the crystal experiment, which allow for crystal rotation and heat adjustment. The second piece is a rack-mount display measuring 38 x 7 x 15, which would show a video feed as seen through the microscope. Last are two additional eyepieces. In overall very good to fine condition.

Crystal growth experiments were conducted on multiple Spacelab missions in order to observe any differences from those grown on Earth. It was found multiple times that the crystals grown in Spacelab had fewer defects than those grown in identical experiments on Earth, suggesting that defects are reduced in microgravity. This marked an important breakthrough in materials technology, as some applications call for flawless crystals that are unable to be created on Earth but are possible to produce in the microgravity of space. A unique Spacelab piece with a fine scientific association. Oversized.

518. John J. Audubon. Scarce ALS, one page, 7.5 x 9.25,

June 22, 1844. Letter to his sons, Victor and John, in part: “I reached our good friend Capt. Cummings yesterday afternoon, and found all well. We contemplated going fishing early this morning, but it rained all night, and rains now; therefore we gave it up. I wrote to you all in the morning of yesterday, and advised Victor that he might draw on Barry & Bro for $1200 payable at Boston on the 25th instant. I repeat this, fearing that Victor might not having been in the city this morning, and wrote under that should that be the case, for Mallory to take the letter to Minnie’s Land. This would save time at least. Why has not Johny answered Capt. C’s letter containing money? I have seen many persons here, but cannot tell whether I will have a single subscriber or not! I go to Albany on Monday morning next and hope to be with you all on the 1st or the 2nd July. God bless you all, and Love to everybody.” In a postscript he adds, “Go to the city on the 3rd July and get a balance from the office. Take it home as soon as you can.” In very good to fine condition, with multiple intersecting folds, scattered creasing, and seal-related paper loss to the adjoining address leaf.

During this time Audubon was, with the help of his sons, preparing the ambitious The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America.

Targeting a wealthy audience, they needed to gain subscribers in order to finance production of the three-volume work. They had signed up over two hundred subscribers by the summer of 1844, and the list reached three hundred by the time of publication. With a connection to the publication of his last great work and a mention of fishing, this boldly penned letter is rife with interesting content. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $300

Wright’s essay on ‘The International Style’ 532. Frank Lloyd Wright. Uncommon TMS, nine onionskin

pages, 8.5 x 11, dated February 1953, signed and inscribed at the top of the first page in blue ballpoint, “To Lewis—F. L. Wright.” An essay entitled “In the Cause of Architecture: The ‘International Style,’” originally published as the final issue (No. 17) of Wright’s Taliesin Square-Paper series, in part: “The International style is neither international nor a style. Internationalism is Totalitarianism. All ISMS are merely derivative. An ISM is only a notion. At most the notion becomes a fashion and a Fashion is—always—some passing show of imitation: probably an imitation of a bad imitation by a bad imitator. In any Intentional ‘Style,’ therefore, we would have more invasion than invention. Though unfortunately serviceable to the commerce of Education as it now runs is this latest propaganda, ‘BUILT IN U.S.A.: POSTWAR ARCHITECTURE,’ sold by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, N.Y. I see in it a cliche for the rising tide of mediocrity. You will find that it merely betrays what was originally individual in true Democratic sense of the much abused term—Organic Architecture—The Architecture of Democracy…

Why do I distrust and defy Internationalism as I do Communism? Because it must do this very leveling in the name of Civilization whether willing it so or not. Communism (factual religion of collectivism) once established, the sun of creation goes down. Life does agree to be embalmed alive. I see collectivism in all forms—especially in Architecture—already becoming too expedient in our midst. Such drift toward all forms of standardization away from quality toward quantity can only mean the success of Communist or Totalitarian. All collectivism such as Internationalism as a Style tends to diminish the human soul because it relieves the individual of a developed conscience and takes from him therefore the reward of being true to himself as himself. This reward of individuality as been the Star of Creation since time immemorial. That Star cannot set for America in any standardized Style. When and where Life —unaware—might consent to be embalmed alive, intellectuals seem last to waken to the rescue. Sleep lasts longest for them because light from within hurts their eyes most of all.” Mumford has added the date in pencil to the upper right corner, and makes several corrections to the text. In fine condition, with a corner crease and staple hole to upper left corners. New Yorker architecture critic Lewis Mumford shared a well-known embattled relationship with Wright. After nearly two decades of friendship, moral and philosophical differences over World War II resulted in the pair not speaking for over a decade. The enmity finally thawed in the spring of 1951 when Wright forwarded Mumford a copy of his book Sixty Years of Living Architecture.

For nearly half a century the Wyeth family lived at the renovated Brinton’s Mill, an historic grist mill with granary and stone dwelling, which served as limitless well of inspiration for the revered visual artist. Wyeth captured his hometown landscape in numerous beautiful works, including 1979’s Night Sleeper and the adored 1963 portfolio set Four Seasons.

literature Rare Balzac letter from the collection of William Randolph Hearst

809. Honore de Balzac. ALS in French, signed “de Balzac,” one page, 3.5 x 4.5, September 12, no year but likely circa

1832. Letter to Jules Mabit, written from Aix-les-Bains. In full (translated): “Sir, please do me the honor to deliver a response to the person you chose as editor in charge, the contents of which should not be associated with me, and please accept my thanks for the things that you kindly think of me.” Double-matted and framed with a portrait of Balzac to an overall size of 15.5 x 13. In fine condition. According to records this letter was once sold in a 1922 auction held by New York’s Anderson Galleries and, was also previously held in the collection of William Randolph Hearst.

Balzac went to Aix in late August 1832 upon the invitation of Madame de Castries, a one-time ‘secret admirer’ and the subject of his unrequited love. During the month he was there he continued to work at his typical furious pace and frequently wrote home to his mother in Paris, who was handling most of his business affairs. At this time Balzac was engaged with multiple publishers and contributed to several magazines; although this meant working with many different editors, he generally demanded that he have final control of his work. Concerning one of these myriad publishing endeavors, this is a wonderful letter by the prolific French author. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Starting Bid $500

Clemens introduces the men behind the Paige Compositor typesetter that would prove to be his financial undoing 815. Samuel L. Clemens. ALS,

in pencil, signed “S. L. Clemens,” one page, 3.5 x 5.25, no date. Brief letter to Mr. Hutchins. In full: “This is to introduce my friends Paige and Davis who desire to see the type-setter at work as per my conversation with you.” On the adjacent page Clemens adds, “Office of the Post.” Nicely double-suede-matted and framed with a portrait of Clemens and a biographical plaque to an overall size of 18 x 30. In fine condition, with a thin strip of tape along hinge and some surface loss and rubbing along top edge.

Having spent a good deal of his teenage years setting type by hand as an apprentice printer, Clemens wholeheartedly believed that the Paige Compositor—a printing press that would use a mechanical arm to set the type—would be one of the greatest (and most lucrative) inventions of all time. It was thus that he assumed the major financial responsibility of the project in exchange for a percentage of anticipated profits. At the mercy of inventor James Paige and mechanical expert Charles Davis, introduced in this letter, Clemens’s investment slowly soured; as the project’s development moved at a snail’s pace, the new Linotype hit the market with great success, making Paige’s machine obsolete before it was even completed. Clemens lost not only the bulk of his book profits but also a substantial portion of his wife’s inheritance, and in 1894, was forced to file for bankruptcy.

An interesting document regarding the men and the invention that led to the financial unraveling of the entrepreneurial author.

You haven’t let the mere sound of words have the upper hand of you. But you scare me a little with what you have taken me to mean. You suck more melancholy out of me than I should have thought possible. Caesar and Marius and I should all be taken with a grain of salt. Emerson said ‘Earth’s a howling wilderness truculent with force and fraud.’ It is and it isn’t. Sandburg the happy go lucky says ‘The people—yes!’

The people yes and no! You might be making too much out of my wish a bird would go away and not sing by my house all day. You must be careful to think free. It is true regret is sacred. But so are a lot of other things sacred and all of them regret included are but ministers to poetry and feed its sacred flame.

In the course of my expedition with your [father] we crossed from the mainland to Marthas Vin[eyard] in an open boat in rather moist weather.

They are most modestly good: very human, and fair, and fresh. The entire absence of great-mindedness is very charming. I wonder who he is? Some very queer fish, probably, who has lived for a long while on the wrong side of the world.

The public are (so Cape says) swallowing the Pathway avidly. I have sent for a copy: but so out of the way is this place that I’d not heard of its being out till Cape’s letter, the post before yours with the Rutter books. You say the Pathway is unhappy stuff. Well, so is all my writing. Let not us impotents be shy of our impotencies, behind the licked envelopes of letters. You’ll laugh to hear that I still pick up Tarka often, read a few pages, and lay it down. I find it holes more than I thought, even at first: and what I said the first time was ‘pemmican’: a variety, I’m told, of pressed beef. The public pressure on you to write another book before you feel inclined to think of a pen seriously, must be horrid.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in his own hand.

Published in volume nine of The Letters of T. E. Lawrence and excerpted in Williamson’s Genius of Friendship: T. E. Lawrence.

Rife with commentary on Williamson’s noteworthy novel Tarka the Otter, reflections on his own writing, and a closing line embodying his disillusionment with fame, this is an ideal Lawrence letter. At the request of his publisher, Williamson had forwarded Holy Cities of Arabia, a two-volume work by Eldon Rutter that had come out recently and was received enthusiastically and compared in several reviews to Lawrence’s writing. Williamson, who would soon win the Hawthornden Prize for Tarka, had himself just released The Pathway, the final volume of his tetralogy The Flax of Dream. Although Williamson wrote prolifically—apparently embracing the “public pressure” that Lawrence disdained—none of his other works surpassed the popularity of Tarka.

I am so full of packing and clearing up before I leave that it is impossible for me to undertake an extra job until I am on the seas. We shall not be back until the 6th April.

Handwritten draft of Thoreau’s 1854 ‘Moonlight’ lecture

845. Henry David Thoreau. Fantastic handwritten manuscript, unsigned, one page both sides, 7.5 x 9.5, no date but circa

1854. A page from Thoreau’s draft for his ‘Moonlight’ lecture delivered at Leyden Hall in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on October 7, 1854. In part: “I complain of arctic voyageurs that in their accounts they do not enough remind us directly or indirectly of the peculiar dreariness of the scenery—and the perpetual twilight of the arctic night. So he whose theme is moon light will find it difficult to illustrate it with the light of the moon alone though this I think is necessary. I fear that I have not put duskiness enough into my night & moonlight walks. Every sentence should contain some twilight or night, at least the light in it should be the yellow or creamy light of the moon with at most a silvery radiance—or the fine beams of stars and not the white or dazzling light of day. Occasionally a mere phosphorescence or gleaming as from rotten wood—Nor should any complain if at rare intervals it is uncertain & wandering, far over treacherous bogs like an ignis fatuus. The peculiar dusky serenity of the sentences must not allow the hearer to forget that it is evening or night, though I do not warn him that it is dark of the darkness—Otherwise he will of course presume a day light atmosphere. If my pages were written in larger character, I would extinguish these lamps & standing by a window read them by the light of the moon alone.” Thoreau makes a few corrections and emendations to the text. A central horizontal band of toning, slight show-through from writing to opposing sides, and pinholes to left edge, otherwise fine condition. The first portion of this passage appears on page 59 of Volume 8 of Thoreau’s Journal as published by Houghton Mifflin in 1906.

Thoreau delivered his ‘Moonlight’ lecture at Leyden Hall in Plymouth in October of 1854, just two months after the publication of Walden. Benjamin Marston Watson, a Harvard classmate, and his wife Mary Russell Watson, a close friend of the Emersons, invited Thoreau to speak as a part of their Sunday lecture series organized to provide those who preferred not to go to church an alternative gathering. This speech, delivered before fellow Transcendentalists and intellectuals, beautifully captures the language and style exhibited in Walden, making it an exceptionally desirable piece.

Rare letter from London while completing the influential Oberon 911. Carl Maria von Weber. German composer, conductor, pianist, guitarist, and critic, one of the first significant composers of the Romantic school (1786–1826).

LS signed “C. M. von Weber,” one page, 5 x 8, March 11, 1826. Letter to a British painter, penned in the hand of Romantic composer George Smart and signed at the conclusion by Weber.

Weber had been commissioned to write an opera based on C. M. Wieland’s epic poem Oberon and had just arrived in London on March 6 to complete it and begin rehearsals with The Royal Opera.

Although suffering from tuberculosis, Weber was able to push through rehearsals and conduct the premiere of Oberon one month after writing this letter.

Rare first UK pressing of the Fab Four’s ‘Twist and Shout’ 929. Beatles. Won-

derful and quite rare first UK pressing of the band’s debut EP, Twist and Shout, signed and inscribed in fountain pen on the back cover of the sleeve, “To Christine, love, John Lennon xxx,” “Ringo Starr xxx,” “love from Paul McCartney xxx,” and “George Harrison xxx.” Signatures were obtained in between August 19–24, 1963, in Bournemouth, Hampshire, for a young female fan who was invited to meet the group back stage after winning a Disc magazine contest, during their six-day engagement at the Gaumont Cinema. In fine condition, with brushing to Paul’s “xxx.” Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo.

Disc Magazine ran several contests during 1963, with the grand prize being front row seats to a Beatles show, and a chance to meet the group backstage. Released in mid-July of 1963, the band’s first official EP contained four tracks from their Please Please Me album. The sleeve featured a Fiona Adams photo of the band taken at a former bomb site at the rear of Euston Station, with the Beatles tunes on the back cover credited to “McCartney–Lennon.” This EP stayed on the charts for an incredible 64 weeks, selling over 800,000 copies, despite the fact that their full-length album had been number one on the charts for 10 weeks. According to expert Frank Caiazzo, to date, there have been less than ten authentically signed Beatles EPs brought to light. A super-scarce fully signed offering of a rare Beatles title.

Pavilion in Piccadilly Circus on July 29, 1965, twenty-eight pages, 8.5 x 11, signed and inscribed on the back cover in black ballpoint, “To Pepy, love, John Lennon,” and in pencil, “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” and “To Pepy, love from, Ringo Starr.” Also signed and inscribed in pencil by record producer George Martin and his future wife Judy, as well as McCartney’s girlfriend Jane Asher, with McCartney adding below her signature, “and her pal and buddy.” Program also bears an unidentified pencil signature below the Starr signature. The front cover has a long diagonal crease and exhibits general handling wear; the signed back cover has been professionally cleaned and restored to fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “Signed programs from this event are extremely rare, and only a handful has turned up in the 40 years since this event took place.” Inspired by the Goon Show and the Marx Brothers classic Duck Soup, Help! saw the Fab Four tackling comedy with a James Bond twist, fending off an evil cult from seizing a sacrificial ring attached to Ringo’s hand. The enormous premiere was attended by Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and the Earl of Snowdon, and despite not earning as rave reviews as A Hard Days Night, the film has since been credited for influencing the development of music videos. A truly rare, multi-signed piece of Beatles history. Starting Bid $1000

The Beatles insisted however, that the greenroom only had very few people, and no press. My father and I were part of the few in the greenroom, and I saw The Beatles sign the frontpage of the program.” Nicol replaced Ringo Starr from June 3–15, 1964, at the start of the Beatles’ World Tour, while Ringo was suffering from tonsillitis and pharyngitis.

Nicol replaced Ringo Starr from June 3–15, 1964, at the start of the Beatles’ World Tour, while Ringo was suffering from tonsillitis and pharyngitis. Given how Nicol was with the Beatles for under two weeks and played a total of only eight shows, this is an extremely rare piece enhanced by its set of uncommonly large signatures.

MB.’ to mean ‘Former Member Beatles,’ because during this period things were becoming very strained within the group.” It was around this period that Lennon decided to leave the Beatles, but had only discussed it in confidence among his closest associates.

“Dear Princely person,” McCartney’s plea to Prince

943. Beatles: Paul McCartney. ALS signed at the top of the first page, “Paul McCartney,” and at the conclusion, “Paul

(McCartney),” two pages, 8.25 x 11.75, no date. Incredible letter to Prince, beginning “Dear Princely person,” concerning his efforts in establishing the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. In full: “Hi there! I know how hard it is to always be getting letters that ask for some favour or another, so it was not easy for me to accept the job of Lead Patron for a Performing Arts School to be located in my home town, Liverpool. But, you guessed it! I did agree to do it, so now I’m writing to ‘friends and all good people’ to try and interest them in the scheme. The story started just after the inner-city riots in Liverpool a few years ago. A friend suggested that ‘what the city needs is a ‘Fame’ School.’ I liked the idea as a possible positive focus for local and overseas kids, but it was only later when I went back to my own old school that was in ruins, that I thought by locating a Performing Arts Centre there we could save the 1825 building in the process. So…(phew!) We’re now well on our way, as the enclosed info shows, but there’s still a lot to be done. Now the hard part. A donation from you would be a great boost to the project, and I know your involvement in some way, would be a thrill for everyone concerned. Hope you didn’t mind me writing this, it’s so long since I’ve written letters I feel like I’m back at school myself. Anyway, one of these days you’ll have to come and teach a class some moves!! Who knows, it may turn out to be something special for thousands of future kids. Thanks for looking at this.” McCartney also sketches a smiley face at the end. In fine condition, with a light paperclip impression to top edge.

Inspired by Alan Parker’s 1980 film Fame, McCartney co-founded the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts which opened its doors in 1996 after several years spent gathering fundraising and support. In 1953, an 11-year-old McCartney attended the Liverpool Institute High School for Boys, excelling in English and art until graduating in 1960. During his tenure he became fast friends with a young George Harrison while riding the bus, and met John Lennon and his band The Quarrymen at a St. Peters Church Hall festival in July of 1957; both McCartney and Harrison joined the skiffle group as guitarists not long after, eventually changing their name to The Beatles in August 1960. Although it remains uncertain whether Prince made a donation or not, the artist’s wide array of philanthropic pursuits have become increasingly transparent since his untimely death; the vast majority of Prince’s contributions were gifted anonymously.

Bopper sings the blues: “Memories got me felling way down low” 945. Big Bopper. Stage name of J. P. Richardson (1930–1959) whose

big voice and exuberant personality made him an early rock and roll star.

He tragically died in a plane crash along with fellow musicians Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens. Handwritten lyrics, unsigned, one lined page, 3.25 x 6.5, no date. The Big Bopper pens the lyrics to an apparently unpublished song entitled “Dim Dim Lights, (Music Soft & Slow).” In part (spelling and grammar retained): “Dim, Dim Lights Music soft & slow / Memories got me felling [sic] way down low / People around me / a laughin and a dancing / But I keep thinking / of Past romancing.” Handsomely double-matted and framed with two images to an overall size of 15.25 x 22. In fine condition.

Although this song went unrecorded, it was probably inspired by—or served as the inspiration for—early rock and roller Bill Haley’s 1955 hit, ‘Dim, Dim the Lights, (I Want Some Atmosphere).’ A very bold, clean example of the Big Bopper’s songwriting talents.

Late Gershwin brothers RKO document for “music and lyrics which will be used in our productions” 949. George and Ira Gershwin. DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, May 24, 1937. Document concerning their agreement with RKO Radio Pictures. In part: “This will confirm our understanding with reference to our use of your names in our 1937–1938 Annual Sales Book. You have agreed that we may make appropriate mention of your names and indicate that you have composed music and lyrics which will be used in our productions.” Handsomely signed at the conclusion by both George and Ira Gershwin, and countersigned by an RKO representative. In fine condition, with expected document wear and a few light creases.

RKO Radio Pictures recruited George and Ira Gershwin to score the 1937 film Shall We Dance, a musical comedy starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers that blended classical ballet with modern jazz—just as George Gershwin did throughout his body of work. Although Ira was less enthusiastic about the concept, George embraced it and composed music in a different style for each scene. The film had been released on May 7, just a few weeks prior to the brothers signing this document. During this time, George began exhibiting increasingly erratic behavior and his wife suspected the onset of mental illness. A brain tumor was discovered soon after and he passed away due to complications on July 11. Later that year, he posthumously received his only Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for the now-classic tune—‘They Can’t Take That Away from Me.’ Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

The doctor had rented the house for several weeks…Bob Marley probably left the house in the dark early in the morning to go to Dr. Issel’s clinic and returned in the dark late in the evening…

My mother explains that the house had been totally overheated to the point that the balconies were warped!

Bob Marley…moved to somewhere else. At that time, we had only seen his mother and his entourage, since other opportunities still had to be regulated. My mother asked for an autograph for her children and then we got these albums (Kaya for my sister and Uprising for me, Stephanie).”

Houdini’s personally-owned and annotated review on spirituality

1057. Harry Houdini. Signed book: The Seybert Commission on Spiritualism. First edition. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott, 1887. Hardcover, 5.5 x 8.285, 160 pages. Signed in pencil with his ownership signature on the first free end page, “Harry Houdini, Bo[ugh]t in Glasgow Scotland.” An earlier owner’s signature appears above. Houdini’s bookplate is affixed to the front pastedown, and he has underlined and added a few notes in the margins throughout; for instance, on page twenty he identifies an unnamed juggler as the magician “Harry Kellar,” and on page seventy-eight he writes, “Kellar outdid Slade.” Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG-/None, in a NF slipcase. Accompanied by a custom-made leatherbound clamshell case.

Houdini dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to debunking the claims of spiritualists, psychics, and mediums by exposing their fraudulent methods. He visited Scotland in 1920 as a part of his ongoing crusade to expose false beliefs in spirits and the occult, thus it is quite likely that he purchased this book while there. Houdini eventually published his own book on the subject, A Magician Among the Spirits, in 1924. A superb association copy clearly read by Houdini and studied by him in detail. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

Lengthy and insightful letter from Kelly on her biography— “I found the whole thing so unbearably personal and in bad taste” 1058. Grace Kelly. TLS signed “Grace,” two pages, 8.25 x 10.5, no date but circa August/September 1957. Letter to Kelly’s MGM press agent, Morgan Hudgins, in part: “Gant is very amusing and great fun to be around and he was always so sweet and such a good friend to me. That is why I was so hurt and disappointed when he chose the loyaltie (& royalties) of Henry Holt instead of considering a friendship—I was a bit embarrassed when Gant first asked me if he could write a book (that would be mostly photographs) of the wedding and Monaco—It was an odd thing for a friend to want to do but because he was a friend I said yes. He felt I had doubts and assured me that it would be done with great taste and I would certainly be pleased—He also said if I wasn’t that he wouldn’t do it—You know how I hate personal things printed and Gant knows that too—In New York he told me that a few changes were being made—and I begged to see any part of it as I was getting anxious as to how the story was being changed—Gant always said that it was in such a rough state that he couldn’t show it—Finally in March or the end of Feb. He sent me the galleys—I nearly collapsed when I saw the cover—The Story of Grace Kelly—I just couldn’t believe it—Gant has an amusing way of tell-[ing] a story but in print it loses the humour—and I found the whole thing so unbearably personal and in bad taste—and the few things I asked him to take out—from what I have seen quoted in columns were never taken out—I should have learned that lesson long ago but I don’t know why I am such a sucker to go on believing people—No writer yet has ever kept his word about cuts. Gant has me saying things that I have never uttered and that is the most infuriating part—Anything a person has said that I have been in the same room with is always attributed to me—I should be used to it but I guess I never will.

On the Constitution before landing in Monaco, Gant asked me to write him a letter or note saying that I approved of the project—Like a fool I did—without mentioning a title or anything—I didn’t fully realise what it was about and what exactly the note was for (As I was not really at my mental best at the time) So I signed this note—which will give Gant Gaither permission to write what ever he likes and [an] as long as he likes about me—I am stuck.

The fact that the book is boring and full of slop is not the point and with all of the other slop that has been written I am really beyond caring very much—but the principle of the thing annoys hell out of me, that I could have been such a sucker and that a friend took advantage of me—I don’t believe Gant would have change the idea of the book if Henry Holt co. hadn’t asked him to—but he considered them and everyone else before me—Besides a friend’s job above all is discretion—Enough about that—It is something I would like to forget.” Kelly adds a few words in her own hand to the text.

1067. Marilyn Monroe. Bank check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Monroe, payable to Marilyn Monroe for $7500, July 13, 1961. Reverse bears a secretarial endorsement. In fine condition, with a central vertical fold, red check mark to right edge, and expected cancellation holes, with none affecting the clean signature area. An unusually clean and bright example. The year of 1961 proved to be a difficult one for Marilyn. Her divorce from Arthur Miller was finalized in January, and her increasing dependence on alcohol and prescription medications began to take a toll on her health; two days before writing this check, she was discharged from Polyclinic Hospital following gallbladder surgery, which was her fifth hospital stay in a ten-month period. A month later, Joe DiMaggio unsuccessfully asked Marilyn to remarry him in an attempt to save her.

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

The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms.

RR Auction and Auction: This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.

RRauction.com Internet site (“RRauction.com”). The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

Bidder: Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale

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

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

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent’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.

By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Credit: In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit 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.

Credit will be granted at the 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 their social security number, or the last four digits thereof, so a credit check may be performed 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.

Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed Auctions (the “Buyer’s Timed Premium”), and a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on live Auctions (the “Buyer’s Live Premium,” together with the Buyer’s Timed Premium, the “Buyer’s Premium”). For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later. All purchases delivered to Massachusetts are subject to applicable Massachusetts sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number.

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

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

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

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

Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction

a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest.

Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

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

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

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

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

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

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

RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, 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 responsibil-

ity (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 thirty (30) 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.

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

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

All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks.

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

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

RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the “Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession.

All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. RR Auction is unable to

combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

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

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

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

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

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

RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auction’s record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid 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.

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

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

RR Auction’s Remedies: Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of default. In such

event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half 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 property in RR Auction’s possession owned by such Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Warranties: RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold “as is” and “where is”.

By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot

prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “Certification of Authenticity”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The Certification of Authenticity inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records).

Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the Certification of Authenticity, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. The Certification of Authenticity is valid from date of the Auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot (the “Auction Date”) until five (5) years after the Auction Date, without exception.

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

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

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

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

This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder in conformity with the Warranties and Limitation of Damages provisions of these Conditions of Sale, and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, in the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction shall make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other

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

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

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

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

by RR Auction.

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

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

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

If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court

of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

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

The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles.

The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages.

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.

CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 7324280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing.

RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

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

Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction.

The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances 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.

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.

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

Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future.

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

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.

GLOSSARY OF CONDITION TERMS FOR DECADES, RR AUCTION HAS LED THE INDUSTRY IN PROVIDING AN ACCURATE AND DETAILED CONDITION STATEMENT FOR EACH ITEM THAT WE SELL. STARTING IN 2016 WE’VE DECIDED TO TAKE A FRESH APPROACH TO DESCRIBING EACH ITEM’S CONDITION. As our website and catalog images continually improve, and bidders can see obvious details from those excellent images, we’ve decided to simplify things, using the same terminology to describe an item’s overall condition (on an ascending scale of 1 to 4: good, very good, fine, very fine), but only adding specific details, if any, that would not be obvious from the illustration.

VERY FINE describes an item 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 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 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 with 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 exceedingly rare or important.

Of course we’re more than happy to provide more in-depth information about any item via phone or email. We hope this new system will make for easier reading and a more pleasant bidding experience.
