price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer
price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five
percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with
a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the

Condition Reports
We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300
and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are
statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions
of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property
offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.
51
Conditions of Sale
LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS, INC. AS AGENT
The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc.
as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions
of Sale.
BEFORE THE SALE
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in
which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are
usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All
lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express
or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor
its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any
kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of
the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity,
importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold.
The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot
is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the
effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the
catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a
salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise,
shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability.
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or
representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright
or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly
reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any
bid.
Registration before Bidding
A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide
identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references.
Bidding as Principal
When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase
price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable
charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman
Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting
as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman
Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the
principal for payment.

LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS
Absentee Bids
We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24
hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the
auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these
are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose
written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free
service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we
do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.
Telephone Bids
On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer
makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use
reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding
by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and
omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be
recorded at the discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers.
Online Bids
We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability
for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions
related to the execution of online bids.
Reserves
Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum
price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low
estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence
thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf
of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the
amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in
response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve,
unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion,
will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at
his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from
that amount.
Auctioneer’s Discretion
The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse
any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to
withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after
the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the
sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale,
our sale record is conclusive.
Successful Bid

In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at
his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot
in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers,

hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set
forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.
