Property from the Descendants of the Benkard Family, Oyster Bay, New York and Tucson, Arizona

Bertha Benkard Rose (1906-1982) was a child of privilege, and a woman of taste and means. Her mother Bertha King Benkard was a scion of New York society, was a close friend of H. F. Dupont and his sister Louise, serving as a Trustee at Winterthur Museum and Gardens. Bertha was an integral member of the team that greatly expanded Winterthur and restored several other DuPont properties. In 1934, Bertha King Benkard and the DuPonts established a period room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in honor of Bertha’s late husband, Harry Horton Benkard, filling the room with artifacts from the Benkard collection.

At King Benkard’s death much of the collection passed to her daughter, Bertha Benkard Rose of Oyster Bay, New York, who continued collecting.

Like her mother, Benkard Rose served as a Trustee at Winterthur, but was also a board member of the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Historical Society and the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities.

At Rose’s death in 1982, many of the items in the collection passed to her sons, Peter (1927-2004) and George. In 1991 Peter and his wife Jeanne moved to Tucson, Arizona, taking their portion of the collection and installing it in their desert home. After Peter’s death, the collection remained in Jeanne’s hands until her death in 2015, when her descendants made the decision to disperse it into the hands of fellow lovers of Americana.

Many of the items included in this auction are pictured in undated photographs of the Oyster Bay home of the Benkard family. Of particular note are the rare Dubuc clock of George Washington (Lot 1086); a Philadelphia Chippendale mahogany card table (Lot 1057); the rare Hepplewhite Mixing Table (Lot 1068); American Queen Anne Corner Chair (Lot 1054) New York Chippendale desk and bookcase (Lot 1062), and various China Trade Paintings (Lot 1011-1014).

Property of the Late Drs. James and Betty Sutherland, Cincinnati, Ohio Cowan’s is pleased to offer selections from the collection of the late Drs. Betty (1925-2012) and Jim (1923-2014) Sutherland of Cincinnati, Ohio. Jim and Betty began their collecting adventures in the 1960s and for the next 50 years, filled their Hyde Park home with an array of Americana. They traveled widely, buying from Ohio dealers such as Clark Garrett and David Good, and further afield from legends such as Peter Tillou.

The Sutherlands were particularly fond of “original” surfaces, at a time when many collectors were not, and their interest in this condition is evident throughout the pieces offered here. They were also enamored with early forms of lighting, and their home was filled with examples of betty lamps, candlestands and rush lights. They filled their kitchen with jars of hundreds of cookie cutters, and dozens of nutmeg graters, tin and toleware. Folk art was another interest, but honestly, Jim and Betty collected anything and everything that had to do with “young America.”

As their son Tom remembers: “Most weekends were spent with Mom and Dad in the back seat of an International Travel-All station wagon with my sister Ann “on the hunt.” We often visited Clark Garrett, huddling around his coal burning pot-bellied stove, or at Mason Antiques, Montgomery, Ohio. Mr. Mason’s pipe smoke remains a pungent memory.”

“Most of our summer vacations were spent meandering through Pennsylvania and New England pulling an Avon, “silver bullet-style” trailer. Eventually, the trailer became packed with history and forced us to sleep at the Quality Court Inn. Baseballs tossed against barn doors eased any annoyance with yet another stop. It never occurred to Ann and me that any of this wasn’t a real vacation, or that what we were really receiving was such a rich education.”

In spite of their interests, the Sutherlands were largely quiet about their collection. Few fellow collectors ever saw the inside of their home. Indeed, when Cowan’s first began selling Americana, and I wrote the couple about a visit, my letter went unanswered. Years later, when Jim made a significant donation to the Cincinnati Art Museum and needed an appraisal, I was allowed into the sanctum sanctorum and was astounded by the scope and variety with which I was confronted. From basement to attic, Americana was arrayed on shelves, atop chests, in cupboards, on window ledges, or literally piled in dresser drawers. The experience was truly like visiting Aladdin’s cave.

We at Cowan’s feel privileged to offer selections from their gleanings of the back roads, antiques shops and dealers from the “golden age” of collecting.

1086 A French Empire Ormolu Mantel Clock with Figure of George Washington By DuBuc, 1815-1817 Brass case, with traces of original gilding, unmarked porcelain dial, with an eight-day time and strike movement, marked Raingo Freres, Paris; ht. 19.25, wd. 14.75, dp. 5.75 in., dial dia. 4 in.

Washington is depicted as Commander in Chief, one hand resting on the pommel of his sword, the other resting on the top of the case and holding his resignation papers which he offered to Congress on December 23rd, 1783. A spread-winged eagle sits atop an orb, his talons clutching arrows and olive branches rest on a plinth engraved E. PLURIBUS UNUM. The porcelain dial is enclosed within an engine-turned ring, the case with scroll and star spandrels, a drapery swag below flanked by flaming torches and inscribed in raised lettering WASHINGTON First in WAR, First in PEACE, First in the HEARTS of his COUNTRYMEN. The right side of the case with applied bow, arrow and quiver iconography, the base with a raised plaque depicting Washington returning his sword and flanked by horizontal lyre-shaped plumage on a molded base with engine-turned bun feet.

Recent research by Lara Pascali during her studies at Winterthur between 2005 and 2006 provides new information about these much beloved mantle clocks, which appear in at least two distinct sizes. The example offered here is typical of larger versions of the clock, most of which have a dial marked Dubuc/ Rue Michel-le-Comte No.33/ A PARIS. Though the dial of the lot is unmarked, there is little doubt that the case was made by the Parisian bronzier Jacques Nicolas Pierre Francois Dubuc.

On April 7, 1815, Nicolas Dubuc addressed a letter to an American gentleman in Baltimore, Maryland which subsequently appeared in several American newspapers. In his communication, DuBuc revealed plans to make Washington mantle clocks in two different sizes, approximately 15 and 20 inches in height. Pascali’s research found that Dubuc was listed as a clockmaker at the Rue Michel-le-Comte address for only two years, between 1815-1817, thus providing a beginning and ending date for the manufacture of these distinctive symbols of American patriotism (see Lara Pascali, “Desirable to Patriots: French Washington Clocks for the American Market” (cited in the Baltimore Museum of Art, “Symbols of the New Republic,” (Teachers Guide, 2014, artbma.org).

These production dates suggest the clocks were not memorials made at the time of Washington’s death, as had been previously thought, but more properly relate to patriotic feelings arising from the end of the War of 1812. The Treaty of Ghent was signed on December 24, 1814; DuBuc’s plans appeared in the American press a few months later.

Peter Kenny, writing for The Classical Homes Preservation Trust has recently noted: In this context the Washington clocks can be read as allegories for a renewed sense of national purpose and identity, as well harbingers of the next chapter in American political life: the Era of Good Feelings, a period associated with the years of the Monroe presidency (1817-1825) and marked by a national mood of unity (E Pluribus Unum) and the lack of partisan factions. We had fought one revolution for our political freedom and now another for our commercial freedom. And Washington, the father of our nation, whose exploits and attributes were already engraved in the minds of all Americans, stood in 1815 as the great unifying symbol of the nation.

COWAN’S AMERICANA

1087 Portrait of American Patriot Joseph Reed, Attributed to Charles Wilson Peale By tradition, attributed to Charles Wilson Peale (American, 1741-1827).

Oil on canvas, framed. A portrait of the patriot Joseph Reed (17411785), unsigned; 29 x 24 in. (sight).

Joseph Reed (1741-1785) is one of the more dynamic, and lesser known, figures of the American Revolution and early forming of the United States government. Beginning his professional life as a successful lawyer in Philadelphia, Reed was enticed into joining the Continental Army by his good friend George Washington, a move that would lead to an influential political career. Reed served as Washington’s aide-de-camp and adjutant-general from 1775-1776, and acted as an army volunteer until the end of the war. After being elected to the Continental Congress in 1778, Reed signed the Articles of Confederation as a representative of Pennsylvania. From late 17781781, Reed served as President of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, essentially governor, during which time he passed a law abolishing slavery in that state.

A well-known portrait of Reed by John Sartain (1808-1897) was engraved after the painting offered here.

Family history attributes this portrait to Peale, though the hand of the master is clearly not visible in its present state. A blacklight examination of the painting reveals it to have been heavily restored, with only the eyes, nose, and parts of the lower jaw apparently original. The remaining surface of the canvas has been almost completely painted over, and whether Peale’s hand lies beneath can only be determined with an x-ray.

While the painting has been relined, the stretcher retains an old Metropolitan Museum of Art Loan number indicating that Bertha King Benkard placed the work on loan between 1935-1940 where it was exhibited in Gallery M4 of the American Wing.(Correspondence from H. E. Winlock to Benkard, November 26, 1935, Offer for Loan, November 15, 1935, and Receipt for the Return, October 11, 1940, Benkard, Mrs. Harry H. (Bertha King), 1928-1948, Office of the Secretary Records, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Archives, New York).

An undated (1960s?) photograph of the sitting room of Benkard’s home in Oyster Bay, New York, shows the painting in its present condition hanging over the mantel.

Property from the Descendants of Bertha Benkard Rose, Oyster Bay, NY and Tucson, AZ $3,000 - $5,000 1088 Portrait of An American Militia Officer, Attributed to Ezra Ames (1768-1836) American, early 19th century, attributed to Ezra Ames (1768-1836), oil on canvas, framed, unsigned; 29.5 x 23.6 in. (sight).

The sitter for this painting, as well as the artist, have been the subject of speculation for many years. Traditionally, the painting was identified in the 1940s as War of 1812 American Naval hero Commodore Thomas Macdonough. Some time later, the subject was identified as Commodore Stephen Decatur. Both attributions are incorrect; the subject wears the uniform of an officer in the Light Artillery, not in the Navy. Details of the subject’s buttons strongly suggest the sitter is not a member of the Regular United States Army, but more likely is an officer in a state Militia unit, possibly Massachusetts or New York (James Kochan, personal communication, November 1, 2016).

In the 1940s the painting was exhibited at least twice, once in 1944 at the Museum of the City of New York (a record from the museum indicates that a work from the collection of Bertha Benkard Rose with the same loan number as the one inscribed on the back of this painting was on loan there, along with another unidentified work, from 1934 until 1944), and again in 1945 in an exhibition of American portraits organized by the Duveen Galleries, New York. In both exhibits, Jarvis was identified as the artist. In notes maintained by the Frick Art Reference Library (File 121-14o2, Ames, Ezra) the painting is referenced as likely by Ezra Ames of Albany, New York.

What a beautiful flower! / In summer so fragrant and gay! / But the leaves are beginning to fade in an hour, / And they wither and die in a day. / Yet the rose has one powerful virtue to boast, / Above all the flowers of the field: / When its leaves are all dead, and fine colours lost / Still how sweet a perfume will it yield! / Thomas Perkins; 20 x 13 in. (sight).

The text is a verse taken from a hymn by Isaac Watts (English, 1674-1748), a wellknown minister and writer of hymns. This, and other verses by Watts, regularly appear on American samplers and presentation drawings of the late 18th and 19th century.

1283 View of Cincinnati in 1800 Attributed to Arnold Holthaus (Active in Cincinnati, 19th Century) American, late 19th century. Oil on canvas, housed in a Closson’s wood frame with gilt liner. A bird’s eye view of Cincinnati from the Ohio river bank with hills in the background, signed and titled l.l.; 20.5 x 35.25 in. (sight).

This historical bird’s eye view is one of the few known extant paintings on canvas by Arnold Holthaus, son of a German immigrant and sign painter August Holthaus (born about 1850). The Holthaus family continues in business today in the sign industry and Arnold, along with brother Gustav (active in Cincinnati from 1871-1895) were listed as scenic and fresco painters, and a number of their building signs exist today on Cincinnati buildings.

Arnold Holthaus seemed to have made several forays into the fine art realm, particularly in 1898, when he displayed a 9 x 7 foot canvas depicting the Battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac. He achieved some local fame with the painting, prompting the Cincinnati Enquirer to dub him “a genius of considerable talent” (Cincinnati Enquirer, September 18, 1898).

Given that this bird’s eye view is from 1800, when Cincinnati was in its nascence, and includes a view of Fort Washington (Cincinnati’s earliest known structure), we assume that Holthaus was working from another source. A similar image was painted by Alfred James Swing (1830-1893), another Ohio artist and “ornamental and fresco painter”, and Swing’s painting was popularized by the Strobridge Lithography company. It was also published by other firms and broadly distributed. While Swing’s original view is lost, the printed views are well known in Cincinnati, printed by Strobridge in 1880. It is possible that Holthaus was working from the Strobridge lithograph or Swing’s original painting.

The oil is an outstanding preserved view of Cincinnati as it was in 1800, painted approximately 1890. $3,000 - $4,000

Adams dotting the horizon. Within these boundaries are too many local landmarks to list, including Cincinnati businesses, government buildings, streets and statuary. Below the plate are detailed listings of noteworthy buildings and sectors of the city. This engraving provides a wonderful and accurate glimpse into the city of Cincinnati during the late 19th century, at a time when it was a thriving industrial and cultural powerhouse of the Midwest.

Charles Arthur Fries also worked as an illustrator, lithographer and plein air painter. Fries studied privately under Charles T. Webber, a Cincinnati artist and founding member of the Cincinnati Art Academy. It is also known that Fries was apprenticed to a Cincinnati lithographer in his teens, and would have been familiar with the engraving process. Fries left Cincinnati in 1887 to travel with his new wife to New York and never returned. The end of his career was spent in San Diego, California. $3,000 - $5,000 1285 A Fine and Rare Large Bird’s-Eye View of Cincinnati, Covington & Newport by John William Hill (1812-1879) American, mid-19th century.

Christian Hurtin (ca. 1743-?) was born in either Newark, New Jersey or New York City. Around 1775 he moved to Goshen, New York where he advertised as a clock and watchmaker. There are three recorded examples of compasses by Hurtin, No. 8 dated 1788, No. 17 dated 1794 and No. 39 dated 1811.

Anthony Ham and well-known American instrument maker Anthony Lamb have a documented family association beginning in 1733.

Most American surveying instruments from this time period were made from wood. Both Lamb and Ham produced instruments in both wood and brass. The back of this compass is struck with a 2. Two additional compasses by Ham are in private collections, numbers 17 and 20. These low numbers suggest a very minimal production of compasses by Ham. $6,000 - $8,000

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 Hamilton County in the State of 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 “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 “Fine and Decorative Art”, “Modern Ceramics”, “American Indian and Western Art”, “American History”, “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. (c) 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 catalog 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 catalog 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.

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. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. 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.

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: (a) 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. (b) 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. (c) Telephone bidders must disable any caller ID or other call blocking mechanism. (d) 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 Bidsquare (bidsquare.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 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, by internet, 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. 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.
