Edward S. Curtis (American, 1868 - 1952) was a photographer and printer of stunning technical virtuosity. He printed a small body of his earliest and finest negatives in platinum, printing out prints, and silver processes specifically for personal exhibitions and sale to elite patrons. In these master exhibition prints, Curtis’ technical virtuosity is hallmarked by tremendous subtlety, delicacy, and richness. They are his greatest images executed in the most dramatic, challenging processes of photographic expression. Today, master exhibition photographs comprise substantially less than one percent of Curtis’ extant work. These seminal pieces embody the impetus of the project and the genius of the artist himself. These rare, haunting photographs are unparalleled as permanent documents of Native American life. In all respects they are the masterpieces of Curtis’ lifetime. Platinum printing may be the most beautiful and exacting of all photographic printing processes. Although an exceptionally demanding and expensive medium, Curtis printed a small body of his best images in platinum. Platinum prints are Curtis’ most highly realized photographs, exhibiting miraculous tonal subtlety and resolution. 212 Edward Curtis (American, 1868-1952) Signed Platinum Photograph By the Canal, Maricopa printed on textured paper; copyright blindstamp lower left; signed lower right plate no. 68 from volume 2 of The North American Indian 16.25 x 11.75 in.

223 An Important Work by Henry Farny (Cincinnati, 1847-1916) Gouache on Paper After Big Game signed and dated 1907, with bullseye monogram, lower right Exhibition label on verso housed in original gilt and gesso frame 8.75 in. x 5.5 in. The small gouache by Henry Farny, one of the master artists of the American West during the late 19th and early 20th century, has not been offered since it was sold by the artist in Cincinnati. The meticulously executed example offers a lone hunter in winter, facing the viewer, snow shoes embedded in the soft powder. Farny’s iconic “lemon sky” shows through a bare forested backdrop. The painting was purportedly purchased directly from the artist (the Collection at one time contained numerous Farny’s). Farny, as many Cincinnati collectors are aware, was prone to drink and have bouts of inactivity. While he was nationally known and collected during his lifetime, he often only sold his work because of necessity, and such is the case here. Many Farny pictures are still buried in Cincinnati with similar stories, by which they were purchased directly from the artist. Exhibited: The Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati, OH. The Vanishing Frontier: Henry Farny, 1847-1916. June 13-October 19, 1997. Purchased from the Artist and Descended in the family until the present; Private Collection, Cincinnati, Ohio $80,000 - $120,000
224 Henry Farny (Cincinnati, 1847-1916) Bronze Pueblo of Zuni / Bernice Sal Ql Saye signed Farny and dated 99 numbered 6/10, with the artist’s bullseye monogram title inscribed near base ht. 5 in. A detailed study of this bronze, taken from Farny Paints the Far West, by Susan Labry Meyn (Plate. 21, pg. 115), 2007 offers an explanation for Farny’s Southwestern subjects: During his career, Farny made several bronzes with Indian subjects. It is difficult to know where or even whether, Farny met this woman because there is no documentation indicating that Farny ever traveled to Zuni Pueblo, or even to the Southwest. When he drew southwestern illustrations for Century Magazine (fig. 31, pg. 50), for example, Farny used John K. Hillers’s famous photographs of the Zuni (figs. 32 and 33, pg. 51), taken for the Smithsonian Bureau of Ethnology, as source images. Farny did meet members of a Zuni delegation, who traveled to Washington, D.C. in 1882, but the published records of that journey did not include the names of any women. Even though he did not visit Zuni Pueblo, we know that Farny’s interest in the Zuni people continued throughout his life because he continued to depict them, probably using Hillers’s photos. Farny’s body of work includes a number of pueblo images, generic views that include the architecture of Zuni Pueblo or one of the Hopi pueblos. Often the images show women wearing their traditional dress and performing a variety of daily tasks. Literature: Henry Farny Paints the Far West, Susan Labry Meyn, 2007. Exhibited: Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati, OH. Vanishing Frontier: Rookwood, Farny, and the American Indian. October 20, 2007-January 20, 2008. $8,000 - $12,000

225 Joseph Henry Sharp (Cincinnati, 1859-1953) Oil on Canvas California Chrysanthemums signed J H Sharp lower right title inscribed in pencil on verso housed in original gilt and gesso Southwestern frame 19.5 in. x 23.5 in. (sight) While Joseph Henry Sharp was widely regarded as a painter of the American Indian, he is only recently being celebrated for his still life paintings. A recent publication- In Poetic Silence: The Floral Paintings of Joseph Henry Sharp (2010)- a work by Thomas Minckler, shows evidence of a prolific output of the artist’s magnificent studies of flowers in bloom. Sharp employed the same impressionist technique to his Western still lifes as he did with his loose Indian subjects. This particular work has an entertaining family story. It was purchased from the artist and descended in the same family until the present day. James Stagner and Leona Louise Stagner, newly married in 1929 in Carlsbad, NM, decided they would like to buy a painting from the Taos artist. While Mr. Stagner wished to have an Indian picture, the family story goes that Mrs. Stagner claimed she ran a “floral” home. Therefore, they bought California Chrysanthemums. A copy of the book, In Poetic Silence: The Floral Paintings of Joseph Henry Sharp, accompanies this lot. $20,000 - $30,000

This model of Birchbark Canoe, cast at Noggle Bronze Works in Prescott, Arizona, is masterful in both its casting and patina. The artist took great care demonstrating delicate detail to the canoe, especially in the ropes and ties. The soft verdigris to the waves and base is the first to surface with the Noggle mark with such patina; it is believed that Farrington Elwell initially cast this model in the 1930s. $10,000 - $15,000

Marvin L. Lince Collection 292 Western Plains Pipe Tomahawk with Engraved Blade upper portion of handle decorated with 30 brass tacks arranged into rows; remnants of tacks along grip, handle pierced for attachment; head with oval eye and elongated bowl; rockerengraved spider web is illustrated on one side of the forged blade; light linear engravings are on reverse, length 21 in., length of blade 5.5 in. x width of blade 3.5 in. Spiders and spider web iconography is found throughout the Plains. Spiders are believed to protect, and have great wisdom and power (Maurer 1993: 58; Hail 1983: 87). The Blackfoot tell the story of Poia (Star Boy) where Feather Woman, wife of Morning Star and mother of Poia, disobeyed the instruction of the Moon. Spider made a web and lowered her and Poia to earth (Gray 1916: 93-96). The decoration on the blade of this tomahawk could reference the story of Poia, depicting the spider web as half sky and half earth. The spider illustrated in the lower right corner, a feather, symbolic of Feather Woman is located at the the lower left corner, and the moon possibly in the upper left. Other examples of spider web imagery are found on a Lakota quilled cradle cover (Cat. No. 9048) curated at the National Museum of the American Indian and illustrated in (Maurer 1993: 58) and an engraved tomahawk blade published in an article by John Painter (2005: 191, Fig. 13).

297 Iroquois Figural Ball Club formed with a flattened handle gently tapering to a slightly rounded grip and washed with a reddish stain; ball of club contains an iron spike with four wire nails and deep carving reminiscent of a feline face, possibly the underwater panther. The shaft is heavily decorated with engraved beings including thunderbirds, underwater panther, horned serpent,, owl, deer, bobcat, beavers, arrows, and other whimsical designs; handle pierced through for attachments, length 20 in. early 19th century A similar carved club is held in the collections of the Royal Ontario Museums (accession number HD 5820). Both the form of the club and the detailed iconography carved onto it speaks to the duality and spiritual balance of the universe. In viewing the form of the club, the ball portion which has been carved with a gently sloping nose, downward-turned mouth, and wire nails detailing whiskers is suggestive of the face of the Underwater Panther. The Underwater Panther, found throughout Algonquian-speaking groups, is considered the powerful and feared of underwater creatures (Skinner 1924: 4748, 398). Those in the grace of the Underwater Panther can rely on success (Fox 2004: 288). The Underwater Panther imagery continues in the decoration of the club. Carved underneath the Panther is the Great Horned Serpent. This figure is also a talisman for hunting luck and warfare. In addition, this figure provides medicine, healing sicknesses of whatever kind (Fox 2004: 291). These aquatic spirits are offset on this club by both terrestrial and aerial ones. A Thunderbird graces both sides of this club — bringing the power of the sky: among the Iroquois, thunderbirds ‘were dreaded particularly by the evil serpents that recognized in the Thunderers their sworn, implacable enemies’ (Wolf 1919: 31). Owls, also depicted on the club, are mysterious creatures and the “embodiment of suspicious power” (Wolf 1919: 33). Earthly imagery of a deer hunted by a wild cat is depicted along one side of the club. These animals are surrounded by curvilinear lines, possibly doubling as scales for the overall imagery of the panther.

308 Lakota Painted Muslin Panel muslin panel painted in colors of black, green, blue, yellow, pink, and orange; seven warriors on horseback and four men on foot are depicted in battle, length 77 in. x 32 in. late 19th century Panel is accompanied with a copy of a letter of provenance dated 1981, (portion): ... First of all, my Aunt Jean MacRoy -the oldest sister of your great-great grandfather- taught in the Indian school territory of -I believe- the Dakotas and Oklahoma, where she gathered (or was given) these items:... 1) The scenes painted on unbleached muslin, and which were done by an old squaw, reportedly over 100 years old, of the war between the Blackfoot and Sioux tribes — (here again, it’s hearsay and could be incorrect). However, the paintings are authentic so far as Indian ancient craft is concerned — coloring came from roots, etc... Lakota paintings on panels of muslin or canvas cloth developed in the 1880s, when Indian families were moved from their traditional tipis into log cabins. The mud and moss chinking between the logs quickly dried out, when chunks might fall out of position, creating drafts. To combat this problem, panels of cloth were often tacked up around the interior. As these were similar in both purpose and appearance to the earlier, leather linings used in tipis, the cloth cabin liners were often painted in similar fashion, with depictions of the owner’s battle exploits. These attractive cabin liners quickly found an economic market as “Indian curios.” When that happened, by the early-1890s, various Indian artists began to paint panels of cloth specifically for sale to tourists, or government officials. This painting is an example of that progression. If it had been created for home use as a cabin liner, there would be tack or nail holes around the perimeter. Lacking these, we recognize an early example of Lakota, male “commercial ingenuity.” Prevented from supporting his family by hunting, this husband and father had turned his hand to another means of earning a small income.

COWAN’S AMERICAN INDIAN AND WESTERN ART
This artist was either an Oglala from Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota, or a Sicangu (Brule), from Rosebud Reservation. In the quarter century, 1850-1875, during which the events depicted had occurred, one of the primary enemy tribes opposed to Oglala & Sicangu expansion was the Pawnee, located south of Lakota territory in present Nebraska . All four of the pedestrian enemies depicted are Pawnee, recognizable from their plucked hairstyle, with only one or two, narrow scalplocks; and especially, black-dyed moccasins with high ankle flaps. These are worn by the two enemy figures at top, right and center. Both Pawnee also appear to be naked, a common battle choice (see, for example, Dodge, 1882: 457). The other, two Pawnee are shown as barefooted, wearing only cloth shirts. A fascinating feature of this painting is the clear intention to depict sound: the lines emanating from the mouths of two of the Pawnee are meant to show that they were either singing protective war songs, or more probably hurling insults at the Lakota, as they were ridden down. During a stand-off encounter with Lakota in 1867, Col. Richard I. Dodge was supported by a Pawnee hunting companion. The colonel and his partner had superior firearms and a strong position, so after four hours of stratagems and aborted attacks, a Lakota war party of fifty men gave up and left them unmolested. During all the charges the Pawnee had evinced the greatest eagerness for fight...Answering yell for yell, he heaped upon them all the opprobrious epithets he could think of in English, Spanish, Sioux and Pawnee, When they wheeled and went off the last time, he turned to me with the most intense disgust and contempt, and said emphatically, “Dam coward Sioux!” (Dodge, 1882:458). This Lakota artist has documented, in graphic form, Pawnee battle insults similar to those described by Col. Dodge. Three types of distinctively-decorated battle lances, indicative of membership in various warrior societies, are illustrated on this panel. The best, visual reference that assists in distinguishing these is Bad
Heart Bull, 1967: 104-116. Crooked lances, with the upper end bent like a shepherd’s crook, the shaft wrapped with strips of dark otterskin and hung at intervals with golden eagle feathers, were used as insignia by three of the Lakota warrior societies: the Wiciska (Horned White Headdresses); the Ihoka (or Iroka, meaning Badger); and the Sotka Yuha. The latter name “is said to imply a smooth, unadorned stick; hence, they have empty [bare] lances, referring to the custom of investing certain members with plain lances to which they may tie feathers if coups are counted” (Wissler, 1912: 33). Three of these “straight lances” are depicted on the panel, showing a progression of accomplishment. A “bare lance,” definitive for the Sotka Yuha, is carried by the rider at lower right. The rider in the top row, second from left, on a blue roan painted with a red muzzle and red circles on the shoulders and hips, carries a similar lance now wrapped with otterskin and hung with single eagle feathers symbolizing war deeds. The same man on a later occasion, on the same horse and displaying the same headdress and shield, is shown in the top row, far right. His lance is now hung with additional eagle feathers to document further accomplishments. This man was probably the artist, and he was a lance bearer of the Sotka Yuha Warrior Society. The crooked lances depicted were probably also Sotka Yuha regalia, carried by war partners of the same organization (compare Bad Heart Bull, 1967: 108). It is likely these men were brothers or cousins of the artist. Remarkably, two horse masks, rare examples of Plains Indian battle accoutrement, are also depicted on this muslin panel. At bottom left, a brindle buckskin gelding is protected with an intimidating mask that represents an Underworld Bull, a nightmare creature like a huge buffalo described in ancient myths, which brought earthquake and crushing death (see Cowdrey, Martin & Martin, 2006: 12-16, and especially, Fig. 2.14a). Note the brown over-painting of the buckskin coat which nicely represents the rare, brindle markings. In the earthquake context of the mask, the unusual coat markings of the horse, which the artist has taken such trouble to convey, might well be intended to invoke a blinding duststorm.

A second, smaller mask distinguishes the black gelding following the buckskin. The wrapped forelock of the rider indicates he is a man who had received a protective vision from the God of Thunder, Lakota avatar of War. The wrapped forelock of the horse makes this connection explicit. The dark steed is painted with red lightning strikes down the legs, and a white rump speckled with black dots that represent a storm of hail. As the horse charges, it symbolizes an engulfing thunderstorm, the hooves striking as bolts of electricity and trampling the enemy like a deluge of hail stones. A third style of lance, with a checkered banner attached along the shaft, consisting of black and white feathers, belongs to the rider of the black horse. This is an insignia of the Cante T’inza (Strong Heart) Warrior Society (Bad Heart Bull, 1967: 104). The two, horse heads at lower right are “shorthand” symbols for Pawnee animals captured during the action depicted.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS By registering and bidding in an auction conducted by Cowan’s Auctions, Inc. (“Cowan’s”), bidders (whether present in person, by telephone, by agent, by written or telephone absentee bid instruction, or through a live internet connection) agree to be bound by these terms. These are the complete and only terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. Cowan’s retains the right to bar any bidder from participating in any auction and to exclude or reject any bid. 1) REGISTRATION. All bidders must register their name, permanent street address (no P.O. Boxes), and telephone number prior to the auction. Unless known to Cowan’s, all registrants are required to present two forms of identification, at least one of which must include a current photograph. Bidders may be required to present a valid Visa or MasterCard. By registering with Cowan’s or submitting an absentee bid form, an individual registrant authorizes Cowan’s to obtain a copy of his or her consumer credit report and authorizes Cowan’s, at its sole discretion, to use the information contained therein to make business decisions regarding the registrant’s participation in the bidding process. 2) ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS. Bidding on any item, whether in person, by phone, by absentee bid or via a live internet auction indicates the bidder’s agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions for Bidders. Any right of bidder under this agreement shall not be assignable and shall only be enforceable by the original buyer. The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the laws of the state of Ohio. All bidders submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Ohio. 3) TERMS OF SALE. Announcements made the day of auction take precedence over any previous communication. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before its final sale and to reject any bid for any reason. The highest bidder for each lot acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the “buyer”. If any dispute arises as to any bidding, or between two or more bidders, at the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the successful bidder will be determined or the disputed lot shall be put up again at the last undisputed bid and resold. 4) BUYER’S PREMIUM. (a) Buyer’s Premium for “Antique and Modern Firearms” auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 15% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 10% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000. (b) Buyer’s Premium for “American History” and “World at War” auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 17 ½% of the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 12 ½% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000. (c) Buyer’s Premium for “Fine and Decorative Art”, “Modern Ceramics”, “American Indian and Western Art” , “Fine Jewelry and Timepieces” and any other specialized auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 20% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 15% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000. (d) Buyer’s Premium for online, timed and other third-party bidding platforms may vary. 5) ESTIMATES AND RESERVES. Presale estimates are intended to be guides and may or may not reflect the ultimate hammer price of a lot. Cowan’s retains the right to change estimates on any lot up to time of sale. A reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the seller of the lot and Cowan’s. In the case of reserved lots, the seller has authorized Cowan’s to bid on seller’s behalf until the reserve price is reached. In no case will the reserve be higher than the low presale estimate. Cowan’s standard house reserve on all property at auction is one-half of the low estimate. 6) WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS. Cowan’s makes a limited warranty only to the original buyer of record concerning the authenticity of each lot for a period of 14 days after bidder’s receipt of the purchased lot. If a buyer is not satisfied that the lot purchased is genuine, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed lot. If these experts determine that the item is not genuine, the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the rescission of the sale and refund of the amount paid for the item. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of the sale and refund is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law or in equity, and such remedy is conditioned upon the buyer returning the property in the same condition as at the time of sale. Cowan’s shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. All sales are final, with no returns or refunds except as provided in this limited warranty. Except as provided in the immediately proceeding paragraph, EVERY LOT IS SOLD “AS IS”, without any representations or warranties by Cowan’s or the seller as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, condition or value of the property, or the correctness or completeness of the catalogue or other description of the property, and no statement, whether written or oral, shall be deemed such a representation, warranty or assumption of liability. Cowan’s makes no representation or warranty that the buyer of manuscript material, photographs, prints or works of art will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights. Cowan’s does not guarantee the working order of any clock, watch, electronic or mechanical device. Dimensions given in the catalogue descriptions may be approximate. 7) DEFINITIONS OF AUTHORSHIP. “By” or “Maker/Artist” — in our opinion, the work is by the artist or maker stated “Attributed to” — in our opinion, the work is probably, but not definitely, by the artist or maker stated “Signed” or “Marked” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is that of the stated artist or maker “Bearing the signature (or mark) of” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is probably, but not definitely, that of the artist or maker stated “Circle of” — in our opinion, the work is of the period and by an artist or maker closely associated with the stated artist or maker “School of” — in our opinion, the work is by a pupil or follower of the stated artist or maker “Manner of” — in our opinion, the work is of the period and done in the style of the stated artist or maker “After” — in our opinion, the work is a copy of a work by the stated artist or maker 8) INSPECTION. Except for On-Line Only Auctions, all lots are available for inspection prior to the auction. Condition reports for most items can be found online at Cowan’s website, www.cowans.com, and prospective bidders are encouraged to contact Cowan’s directly for additional information regarding the condition of any lot. Cowan’s does not warrant the condition of any item. Buyers interested in the condition of an item are encouraged to contact Cowan’s and, to the best of our ability, we will document for the prospective bidder the condition status on any lot. Condition is always a subjective evaluation and final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of any item sold by Cowan’s. ABSENTEE, TELEPHONE AND INTERNET BIDDING Absentee and telephone bidding is offered as a free service to our customers and prospective bidders. Cowan’s shall not be responsible for any errors or failures in executing bids, either absentee, telephone or via the internet. 9) ABSENTEE BIDDING. Absentee bids are accepted via mail, fax, email and on Cowan’s website. Such bids will be posted with the time and date of arrival, with ties being awarded to the earliest bidder. Absentee bids that are faxed or emailed to Cowan’s need to be in the office at least 2 hours before the sale begins. An absentee bidder unknown to Cowan’s may be required to submit a bank letter of credit prior to the auction, or, using a credit card, deposit with Cowan’s a fee equaling 30% of the absentee bid. All absentee bids are executed competitively by a member of the auction staff. The auction staff will try to purchase the lot for the lowest price possible and will bid up to the amount designated by the absentee bidder only if necessary. Cowan’s does not accept “buy bids,” or absentee bids which have no limit. In the event of a tie bid between a floor and an absentee bidder, the floor bid will be honored. 200

10) TELEPHONE BIDDING. Bidding live via the telephone is available on a first come, first served basis for those lots with a low estimate of $500 or greater. In order for Cowan’s to efficiently serve the needs of those who wish to bid by phone, please note the following: • To participate in the auction by telephone, potential bidders must complete and sign the absentee bid form and check “I WISH TO BID BY TELEPHONE” for the designated lots. Potential bidders may also reserve a phone line on Cowan’s website. If faxing or emailing requests for phone bidding, they need to be in Cowan’s office 2 hours before the sale begins. Once the auction begins, requests left on Cowan’s website may not be retrieved by the staff. • Telephone bidders are advised to indicate an “insurance bid”, which amount will become an absentee bid, pursuant to the absentee bidding process set forth above, if Cowan’s can not reach the bidder by telephone for a particular indicated lot. • Telephone bidders must disable any caller ID or other call blocking mechanism. • Cowan’s sells about 100 lots per hour, so telephone bidders should plan accordingly. Cowan’s will attempt to reach each telephone bidder, but Cowan’s is in no way responsible for missed calls. 11) INTERNET BIDDING. Internet bidding is available through our website; additionally, Cowan’s may post certain auctions on Live Auctioneers (liveauctioneers.com) or Proxibid (proxibid.com). There may be terms which apply solely to internet bids that should be reviewed online at the time of sale. Cowan’s is not responsible for any failure to execute a bid and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with an internet auction. 12) BIDDING INCREMENTS. The following increments are used at the auction. Absentee bids must fall within these increments. Cowan’s will automatically reduce any absentee bid to the closest increment if the bid falls outside the published range of increments. For Bids Falling Between Bidding Increment $0-500 $25 $501-1,000 $50 $1,001-3,000 $100 $3,001-5,000 $250 $5,001 and up $500 or at the discretion of the auctioneer Cowan’s reserves the right to modify increments at any time during the auction. AFTER THE AUCTION 13) BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY. Upon the fall of the hammer, title to the offered lot shall pass to the buyer and the buyer immediately (a) assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot, including liability for loss or damage and (b) is liable for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Cowan’s. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ask specific questions on condition related concerns prior to the auction. Cowan’s will not rescind sales with buyers that have disputes regarding firearm’s bore condition. 14) PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT. The discounted “Purchase Price” for each lot shall equal the hammer price, buyer’s premium, sales tax and, if applicable, all packing, handling, insurance and shipping costs. Payment may be made with cash, personal or traveler’s check or credit card. Cowan’s reserves the right to hold a purchased lot until a check has cleared. A convenience fee of $15.00 will be assessed to all transactions made in the alternate payment channels: Phone payments are made available as a convenience outside Cowan’s Auctions customary payment channels, therefore these payments are qualified as payments made in the alternative payment channel. All forms of payment made using this method will be assessed the convenience fee. Please call Cowan’s Auctions if you have any questions regarding this policy. PLEASE NOTE: A surcharge of 2% will be assessed to all credit card transactions. This surcharge is not greater than our cost of acceptance. Buyers who are present at the auction must pay the full Purchase Price at the time of the sale. Buyers who bid by telephone or who are absentee bidders will be invoiced within 5 days after the close of the auction and must pay the full Purchase Price for each purchased lot within 14 days after the date of the auction. By signing the absentee bid form or placing a bid by telephone, an absentee bidder authorizes Cowan’s to charge the Purchase Price for each lot for which such bidder is the successful bidder to the credit card number provided by telephone or on the absentee bid form, unless payment in full or alternative payment instruction is received within 14 days after the date of the auction. No property will be released by Cowan’s unless the Purchase Price has been paid in full. Institutional billing may be available, and should be arranged prior to the auction. Cowan’s may impose late charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest interest rate allowed) on any amount owed to Cowan’s that remains unpaid after 30 days. Buyer shall be liable for any collection costs or attorney’s fees incurred by Cowan’s to collect payment, to the extent permitted by law. 15) SALES TAX. Buyers are required to pay any applicable state and local sales tax. 16) SHIPPING. At the request of the buyer, Cowan’s will authorize the shipment of purchased items usually within two weeks after payment has been received. Shipment is generally made via UPS or Fed-Ex Ground. Unless buyer gives special instructions, the shipping method shall be at the sole discretion Cowan’s Auctions. Cowan’s is in no way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent handlers, packers or shippers of purchased items or for any loss, damage or delay from the packing or shipping of any property. ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. Cowan’s will not ship any package containing a firearm to any location other than within the United States. Buyers outside the United States must make their own shipping arrangements taking full risk for the transportation of any firearm. Property made of or containing certain plant or animal materials, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, baleen, tortoiseshell, etc., may require a license or certificate before exportation from the United States and importation to another country. If you are purchasing items that contain these materials, you need to check the government wildlife import requirements in the countries from which and to which the item is being shipped prior to bidding. Since the export and import licenses are independently issued by the countries of origin and destination, obtaining one does not guarantee that you can obtain the other. Purchasers are responsible for making timely payments on items won at auction, even if a license is delayed or denied. 17) SHIPPING CHARGES. Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty charges are the responsibility of the successful bidder. Be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial. 18) REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF PROPERTY. If purchased property has not been removed, or Cowan’s has not received shipping instructions within 21 days after the auction date, a $10 per item per day storage fee may be charged to the buyer. 19) CANCELLATION OF SALE. If purchased property remains in the custody of Cowan’s for a period of 60 days following the auction, Cowan’s may, at its option, cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payments made by the buyer, or resell the property at auction or by any other commercially reasonable means, for the account and at the risk of the buyer, and in such event, buyer shall be liable for the payment of all deficiencies plus all of Cowan’s costs, including but not limited to storage and costs of both sales. This right of cancellation is in addition to any and all other remedies available to Cowan’s. Copyright © 2014 Cowan’s Auctions
