56 Andrew Clemens Sand Bottle Andrew Clemens (American, 1857-1894). A Clemens sand bottle with the date 1886 above an American spreadwinged eagle underneath a flag of 36 stars on one side, the other with a floral wreath surrounding the name Minnie, and layered, colored sands in geometric borders, label on bottom almost entirely intact; ht. 5.25 in.

Andrew Clemens (1857-1894) of Dubuque, Iowa, spent most of his life in nearby McGregor. Due to voice encephalitis, he lost both his voice and hearing and was sent to the Iowa Institute for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb. There, Clemens began experimenting with sand

art, collecting multicolored sands from the Pictured Rocks region of Iowa. He fashioned special tools that he used to arrange the sand in intricate designs and then pack it tightly (he used no glue of any kind). Sizes and designs varied and orders came to Clemens from around the world, each customer paying about five to seven dollars. As his skill developed, his subjects ranged from boats and ships to flowers, flags, and eagles. Clemens, dubbed the “portrait painter without a brush or paint,� died in 1894 at the age of 37. He is thought to have produced hundreds of bottles during his lifetime, but few survive today. $8,000 - $10,000

Perhaps the best known American female artist of the 1860s and 70s, Spencer was born in 1822 to Gilles and Angelique Martin, teachers from Brittany. In 1831, the Martins left New York and settled in Marietta, Ohio, where Spencer began her activity as an artist at a very young age. Her earliest work were romantic subjects- portraits and genre scenes. Eventually her reputation caught the attention of Nicholas Longworth, famed sponsor and patron of Ohio artists during the 19th century. After a brief period of study with James Henry Beard, prompted by Longworth, and a sojourn to New York, Spencer accrued a reputation for genre painting. Much of her late career was spent in Newark and New York. $10,000 - $15,000 SEE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND CONDITION REPORTS OF ALL LOTS AT COWANS.COM

81 Philadelphia Federal Card Tables, Pair American (Philadelphia), ca 1800. A pair of Federal card tables in mahogany, each with a fold-over hinged top, a kidney form, having a centered concave ellipse, light-wood string inlay to apron edge and on tapered quadrangular legs; ht. 29.5, wd. 35.5, dp. 16.75 in.

A similar form of card table, popular in Philadelphia during the Federal period, was a design inspired by a ‘Kidney Table’ pattern illustrated in The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer’s Drawing Book (London, 1793) by Thomas Sheraton.

Considered to be a distinctly American form, most tables of the kidney shape have serpentine friezes, rather than the rare hollow frieze found on this pair.

Four Philadelphia tables of this form, made of satinwood, are attributed to the shop of Henry Connelly, Philadelphia.

Another card table is illustrated in Flanigan’s American Furniture from the Kaufman Collection, no. 63, pp. 1656. A single card table of the same form, but with more elaborate inlays, sold at Sotheby’s, January 17, 2004, and was attributed to Philadelphia. detail These tables were purchased in 1940 from David Stockwell in Germantown, Pennsylvania, inside of the Philadelphia area. Stockwell noted in a letter to the consignor’s mother, which is included with the lot, that the tables were acquired from “Morris Johnson of Germantown, a direct descendant of Robert Morris”. Robert Morris served as one of the principal financiers of the American Revolution, but when politics turned unfavorable, he found himself in debtors’ prison in the very nation he helped to free. As a result, his possessions were sold at two auctions, some years apart. Though Morris Winder Johnson was a descendant of a different distinct line of the Morris family, it is possible his ancestors, who included two early mayors of Philadelphia, bought the card tables in question at one of these auctions. Robert Morris held several card tables in his inventory at the time of his imprisonment.

By descent to the daughter of Mrs. Thomas M. Levis, St. Louis, Missouri $5,000 - $7,000

A Sheraton sofa in mahogany, the arched back continuing to down-curved arms terminating in ring-turned and reeded arm supports over a birch inlaid rectangular panel, the wings having a reeded front edge, the sofa rising on ring-turned, tapering reeded legs to the front and square tapered legs to the back; ht. 38, lg. 78.75 in.

This sofa has the typical characteristics associated with sofas made in Portsmouth, including an arched and cloth covered crest rail, abbreviated wings of the arms, ornamentation of mahogany to the front edge of the wings, curved hand holds, reeded front posts and embellishment with a rectangular panel of lightwood veneer where the leg terminates in a block. A comparable sofa with similar elements is illustrated in Brock Jobe’s Portsmouth Furniture: Masterworks from the New Hampshire Seacoast, (cat. 105, pp. 375-377). Additional similar Portsmouth sofas are in private collections and a few are in public collections including one at the Metropolitan 87 Mahogany Game Table with John Needles Label American (Baltimore, MD), early 19th century.

John Needles was a Baltimore cabinetmaker who apprenticed with James Neal of Easton from 1802 to 1807. His business appears in the Baltimore city directories from 1808 until his retirement in 1853. Needles is best known for his mahogany furniture in the Sheraton style.

Very few households in America during the Federal period and before contained sofas, couches or settees. These household items were considered luxuries and only the wealthiest of individuals could afford such deluxe goods.

Most sofas were located on the lower floor of the home, usually in the parlor or drawing room, the spaces where guests were entertained. Thomas Sheraton described how such a room should appear. In The Cabinet Dictionary (1803) he wrote, “The drawing room is to concentrate the elegance of the whole house, and is the highest display of richness of furniture....The grandeur then introduced into the drawing-room is not to be considered, as the ostentatious parade of its proprietor, but the respect he pays to the rank of his visitants (p. 218). By 1825 sofas became increasingly popular and they appear regularly in estate inventories from this period on. $2,000 - $4,000

Jan Sorgenfrei (1942-2012) An Appreciation Cowan’s is pleased to offer the following lots (98-134 and 149-158) representing a small portion of the various collections of the late Jan Sorgenfrei (1942-2012) of Findlay, Ohio.

I first encountered Jan at a meeting of the Ohio Archaeological Society while I was teaching at Ohio State University in the early 1980s. Frankly, I only remember a brief conversation. I was a young faculty member in the Department of Anthropology, focusing on the archaeology of the Ohio Valley. Jan was a collector and dealer in American Indian artifacts. We exchanged a few pleasantries, he showed me some exceptional chipped stone items from the Adena culture, and that was that. I moved on, Jan moved on.

Flash forward about 15 years. As I began my business, I determined that I probably didn’t want to sell prehistoric items. It was a specialty I knew a lot about, but for various professional and ethical reasons, I didn’t think it was a right fit for my business. But I also understood enough about artifact collectors and the hobby that I needed someone whom I could trust and refer business to should the occasion arise. Re-enter Jan Sorgenfrei. By this time Jan was the owner the Old Barn Auction company in Findlay, Ohio, and was specializing in selling American Indian artifacts, with an emphasis on the Ohio Valley. Jan became the go-to for my referrals.

As our relationship grew, I came to learn that Jan was interested in much more than American Indian artifacts. Jan also collected Ohio decorative arts, folk art, toys, fraternal items, early knives and tomahawks, and fine Ohio made percussion rifles.

A visit to Jan’s office at the Old Barn was always a frustrating pleasure. Great things were piled and stacked in corners, cupboards and drawers; every flat surface was home to some object just begging to picked-up and discussed. Like all collectors, Jan loved showing his “stuff” to a visitor; there were just so many treasures, I never felt like I could see them all!

Folk art canes were grouped in every corner, and leaned against any available piece of wall space or furniture. Jan simply couldn’t resist a walking stick with a carved snake coiling up the shaft. His office resembled a veritable wooden “reptile house.”

Jan was especially enamored of folk art carved Civil War pipes. And no wonder. Each one has a story to tell. Each one is a small marvel of hand-carving and expression.

Most show signs of years of use and care.

While Civil War pipes turn up now and then, they are by no means common. In the past 20 years, Cowan’s has sold a mere handful. Jan’s pipes were acquired through a wide network of collectors, dealers and auction houses, and must have taken years to amass. Whenever one appeared in a Cowan’s auction Jan would call, ask questions, and over the years, bought several. This is a collection that was built pipe by pipe.

Along with selections from Jan’s other collections, it is Cowan’s distinct pleasure to offer this remarkable group of folk art treasures.

103 “Orion” Mike Cribbins Civil War Cane of John Dowd American, ca 1865. Diamond willow Civil War cane carved Mike C. To John Dowd / Kenokee Mich / 1861 / War / Mrs. Dowd with shaped lead ferrule. Incorporating the natural structure of the wood, Michael Cribbins carved imaginative designs including a gilt toed foot, cross, palm frond, a fish, stars and geometric patterns.

Also carved into the shaft is the Civil War corps badge of the 2nd Division, II corps, which takes the form of a three leaf clover. It was with this group that Cribbins served. Beautiful, rich patina with lightly alligatored surface, remnants of gilding on carved letters; lg. 34.75 in.

Michael Cribbins (1838-1917), the Irish born folk carver, immigrated with his family to the United States around 1841. Upon the outbreak of the Civil War, Michael was mustered into Company “A” 7th Michigan Infantry. He served, earning a promotion to Corporal, until his transfer into the Veteran Reserve Corps in 1864. Cribbins was injured at Fredricksburg in May of 1863. After the war, Michael settled in Lake Orion, Michigan where he listed his occupation as “carpenter.” It was possibly during this post war period when Cribbins began making his highly imaginative canes from diamond willow, often incorporating references to the Civil War and his own name and “Orion” into the design. This may be an early example done prior to his move to the Orion area.

John Dowd was born in 1848 to Irish parents living in Canada. He moved to the United States around 1861, during the turmoil of the Civil War. He served in the 8th Michigan Infantry from 1861-1865, enduring an injury in June of 1862 at Secessionville, South Carolina. Dowd settled after the war in Kenokee, Michigan with his wife Mary, the same town Cribbins was listed as a resident of immediately prior to the war. The two may have briefly lived in the town simultaneously, perhaps eventually leading to the creation of the cane in question.

George H. Meyer includes a chapter on the Mike/Orion carver works in his book American Folk Art Canes: Personal Sculptures, pg 157-161.

The Powel Crosley, Jr. Family Collection of Crowell Miniatures Cowan’s is pleased to present the following lots (166-180 and 188-204), an exceptional collection of A.E. Crowell carved and painted miniatures. The collection includes twenty-five miniature shorebirds and twenty-four miniature ducks, each skillfully carved and painted by the workshop of Anthony Elmer Crowell (1862-1952) and his son Cleon Stanley Crowell (1891-1961).

Anthony Elmer Crowell grew up in East Harwich, Massachusetts. He became an accomplished sportsman and professional gunner at an early age. He also developed an early interest in decoy carving that began around 1882. By 1894 he was carving exquisite miniatures. Crowell based his finely carved and painted decoys and miniatures on his careful and direct observations of nature.

Crowell’s initial pursuit of carving decoys, ornamentals and miniatures began purely as a hobby. At the time he was employed as a caretaker of Dr. John Phillips’ gunning camp. Phillips’ interest in Crowell’s carvings marked the beginning of Crowell’s move from amateur to professional carver. Crowell presented Phillips with a set of his carved decoys and orders were soon placed for carvings by friends and associates of Phillips. By 1910 Crowell had stopped working for Phillips and started his decoy and miniature carving workshop. From there success grew and his clientele began to spread beyond the local hunting community. Orders came in from around the country and, eventually, the world.

Crowell’s son Cleon began working with his father sometime around 1912. Over time he became involved in all aspects of the business. It is very difficult to differentiate between the carvings of father and son, particularly when examining the earlier carvings of Cleon. It is also difficult to date the Crowell carvings. Most of the carvings made after 1912 bear a mark of some sort. The Crowells used various brand marks, including oval and rectangular, some in paper, others stamped or impressed with information and hand-signed notations on each.

The collection of Crowell miniatures presented here descended through the family of Powel Crosley, Jr. (1886-1962).

Crosley, Jr. was a Cincinnati industrialist and millionaire who made his fortune in manufacturing and broadcasting. In 1934 he purchased the Cincinnati Reds Baseball Club, retaining ownership until his death. Through the Crosley Foundation, the family has made substantial contributions to many cultural, educational and medical institutions in the Cincinnati area.

It is likely that Powel Crosley, Jr. commissioned this collection of miniatures directly from the Crowell workshop. The miniatures could be purchased individually or in sets of twenty five. The original collection included fifty birds total with forty nine on offer here. The twenty-five shorebirds and twenty-four ducks correspond to the list of miniature shorebirds and the list of miniature ducks that were part of the Crowell inventory. These lists are now in the Heritage Plantation Collection. The Crowells also offered a group of twenty five songbirds for purchase.

The miniatures on offer have all of the fine characteristics of the best of the Crowell miniatures. They show a tremendous amount of attention to detail and are wonderfully executed and well shaped. The postures of the shorebirds and ducks are naturalistic and the paint is well blended and carefully applied.

Each has the rectangular brand mark that reads A.E. CROWELL / MAKER / EAST HARWICH / MASS. It is believed that the use of this mark dates from around 1925 until Cleon’s death in 1961. In addition to the rectangular mark, many of the miniatures in this collection are numbered and identified with the bird or duck variety in pen or pencil, all which corresponds with Crowell’s lists of miniature shorebirds and ducks.

After Anthony Elmer Crowell’s death in 1952, Cleon continued to produce the still highly sought after carvings until his death in 1961. The miniatures are an important and lasting legacy of American decoy carving and folk art. Today, the Crowell carvings can be found in a number of important private collections as well as in numerous museum collections, including the Shelburne Museum and the Peabody Essex Museum.

Biographical information on the Crowells and details about their workshop and carvings are drawn from Brian Cullity, The Songless Aviary: The World of A.E. Crowell & Son (Heritage Plantation of Sandwich, 1992).

232 Cherokee Baskets Collected by John S. Boyden, Sr. (1906-1980) Mid-20th century. Four baskets, including a large white oak rectangular basket made by Helen P. Smith with bentwood handle, ht. 16.25, lg. 19.5. wd. 12.5 in.; PLUS a smaller river cane basket made by Stacy Catalster with bentwood handle, ht. 14 in., wd. 12.25 in.; PLUS a finely woven cylindrical lidded basket, ht. 15.75, dia. 11.5 in.; AND a smaller lidded basket, ht. 10, dia. 11 in.

JOHN S. BOYDEN, Sr., J.D. (1906 - 1890) Growing up in the small town of Coalville, Utah, Mr. Boyden developed an interest in American Indians from an early age. His home was located on the Shoshone Indian migration route, and he had plenty of opportunities to watch them first-hand. Occasionally he found arrowheads when digging in the soil. Someone, noting his interest, gave him a piece of black Indian pottery. This marked the beginning of his lifelong hobby of collecting American Indian artifacts.

Mr. Boyden graduated from the University of Utah Law School and, as Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Utah, advised several different American Indian tribes. He was assigned by the Department of Justice to study the judicial system of the Navajo Tribe, requiring him to live on the reservation for a number of weeks.

Later, in private practice, he represented various tribes. He served as General Counsel and Claims Counsel for the Hopi Indian Tribe for thirty years. Through these experiences he developed a great appreciation for American Indian culture and had many close friends among the American Indian people.

Mr. Boyden was elected as the first member from Utah to the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, and was given the Honorary Order of the Coif. He served as Chairman of the Utah Board of Indian Affairs and held many other positions of public service.

Mr. and Mrs. Boyden had a great interest in American Indian art and collected over a long period of time beautiful rugs, pottery, kachinas, baskets, beaded items, and other objects.

235 Fine Study of an African American by John Meyenberg John Carlisle Meyenberg (American, 1860-1936).

Charcoal and graphite on paper, 19th century. A large study, well executed and depicting a former slave, hunched against a wall and seated, grasping a cane. Signed l.l.; 36 x 25 in. (sight) John Carlisle Meyenberg was born in Tell City, Indiana, making his way to Cincinnati at a young age. He flourished as an early student and eventual member of the Cincinnati Art Academy, winning awards. Like so many Cincinnati artists who were influenced by Hiram Powers, Meyenberg gravitated toward sculpture early in his career. He studied in Boston and Paris, and worked on a number of public buildings in Cincinnati, as well as memorial tombs in Spring Grove Cemetery (the largest cemetery in the country after Arlington).

This work’s subject is confounding. Why Meyenberg would have executed a former slave, or an African American in this way is unknown. One could assume the Meyenberg was influenced by other artist’s with a presence in Cincinnati, such as T.S. Noble, R.S. Duncanson or perhaps the photographer J.P. Ball.

Young of Chicago, and he exhibited his artwork widely around the United States in the early 20th century.

256 Staircase in Taormina by Henry Lawrence Faulkner Oil and casein on masonite.

Label on verso indicating Taormina as the subject Signed u.l.

19.25 x 15.25 in. (sight) 25 x 21.25 in. (framed) In 1961, Henry Faulkner traveled to Taormina, Sicily to board at Casa Cuseni, where he began to develop his more consistent style as a painter. By this time, his work was well received in a few galleries in the States, and the growing demand necessitated that Faulkner occasionally send back his work for shows. One of these establishments was

Closson’s Gallery in Cincinnati, where this and the following painting were purchased in the early 60s.

From excerpts in Faulkner’s biography, The Outrageous Life of Henry Faulkner by Charles House (1988), we know that Faulkner often would scour the antique shops in Taormina, finding old frames for which he could repurpose with his oils. He would place the masonite board inside the frame and prepare it, and would proceed to execute the painting, running outward into the frame as well. This and the following painting (which is probably a mirror frame) were almost certainly executed in this manner. $5,000 - $8,000

It is not known why Faulkner became enamored with the subject of musicians, but he did paint the subject occassionally, probably in the late 50s and 60s. We know that Faulkner was impressed with the work of Marc Chagall from his visits to the Armory Show in New York, and his love of music rubbed off on the young artist- notice the visual representation of music in the form of flowers spilling from the cello. $4,000 - $6,000

COWAN’S FINE AND DECORATIVE ART

Although executed in Europe, this painting has a strong regional provenance. The painting was originally purchased

by Mr. Henry C. Noble of Columbus, OH probably while touring Europe. A prominent citizen, Mr. Noble was a lawyer and served as president of the Columbus Bar Association; he died in 1890. At the time of his death, Andrew Dobbie (1839-1924), a successful Columbus merchant and civic leader, purchased the painting at an estate sale for one thousand dollars. Eventually, the painting passed down through the Dobbie family to the present owner.

The Gwen Pratt Whalen Fan Collection Cowan’s is pleased and honored to offer the Gwen P. Whalen Collection of antique fans. Gwen Whalen (1923-2009) was one of the founding member of FANA- Fan Association of North America- and collecting was one of her lifelong passions.

She left a broad and meticulously documented collection of fans ranging from 17th century Continental examples to 20th century political and novelty works as well. Born in El Paso (and residing there intermittently throughout her life), and spending much time in Tupper Lake, NY, her passion for fan collecting spanned several decades. She was instrumental in leading and taking part in several FANA assemblages. The following illustrated works are just a few individual examples offered today. The remaining collection will be offered following the illustrated portion of the sale.

Cowan’s would like to add a special note of gratitude to the Fan Association of North America (FANA) for their kind words about Mrs. Whalen and their eagerness to share the news of this Collection with their members

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 “the 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”, and “American Indian and Western Art” 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.

224

COWAN’S FINE AND DECORATIVE ART

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.
