r o d n e y c r o i s s ant
Our Arts of the American West auction will include
nearly 200 lots of Native American works of art and
Western Americana from the collection of Greeley
Colorado resident, Rodney Lynn Croissant.
Mr. Croissant, a true Westerner, was born and
raised in Colorado. He spent his formative years on
his family’s farm near Hardin, Colorado where he
attended a one room elementary school. He went
on to study at the University of Northern Colorado
where he majored in Spanish and Russian languages.
Mr. Croissant appreciated other cultures and art
which lead to his lifelong love of travel. He spent
his free time traveling throughout the United States,
Mexico, Europe and Russia.
Mr. Croissant had a broad knowledge of
Southwestern cultures and Native American history
which fed his passion for his substantial collection
of Navajo textiles, Pueblo pottery, Native American
beadwork, basketry and more. His love of the West
was instilled through his childhood on the Colorado
plains. Mr. Croissant’s fascination began with classic
Old West films and reading classic Western books
with his father. His excitement at acquiring three
pieces of Thomas Molesworth furniture, reputedly
from The Historic Plains Hotel in Cheyenne Wyoming
in the 1980’s, further fueled his drive to collect
interesting Western Americana. He loved sharing his
tales of travel and collecting with his family.
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers is delighted to be
handling the Rodney L. Croissant Collection of
Native American Arts and Western Americana in
this sale.

Guide for Prospective Sellers
Evaluation of Property
If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department
at 303.825.1855 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an
appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other
pertinent information, to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and we will be happy
to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large
collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees
for on-site visits may vary.
Standard Commission Rates
Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer
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
reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc.,
you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%)
of the reserve price.

omissions.

other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact

estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for
prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to

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.
AT THE SALE
Refusal of Admission
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to
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.
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.

A R T S O f t h e a m e r i c a n w e st
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
The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser.
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.
