As many of you know, 2022 marks Eldred’s 75th year of business. What a banner year it has been.
More than 12,000 lots will have crossed the block, representing tens of thousands of consignors, bidders and buyers, thousands of condition reports, millions of emails, hundreds of packages moving through our shipping department, dozens of auction days, several new auction records, and a busy year for our loyal and hardworking staff of 28 (not including the four-legged members of our team who serve as official greeters).
We are so very grateful to everyone – consignors, bidders, buyers and staff – because it is the people (and the dogs) who make Eldred’s a special place, and one that we’re proud to say has stayed in business through three generations.
Thank you, best wishes, and here’s to the next 75 years.

The Sailors’ Snug Harbor of Boston was founded in the 1850s as a retirement home for elderly, infirm or impoverished sailors who could no longer serve as active seamen. The facility was first located in the Germantown section of Quincy and then moved to Powder Point, Duxbury, Massachusetts, where it merged with the National Sailors’ Home. When the need for such a retirement home diminished in the 1970s, the property was sold and the contents sold at auction. The proceeds established a charitable foundation that provides financial assistance in support of seamen and fishing families of Massachusetts. This bell is believed to have been made by the Hooper foundry, given the Hooper’s connection with the original Germantown location, and sold at auction in the 1960s or 1970s as the Duxbury location was being disbanded.

GLOSSARY OF TERMINOLOGY AND ADVICE TO BIDDERS
Authorship of Paintings and Works of Art
A. LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921
In our opinion, this is a work by the artist.
B. ATTRIBUTED TO LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921
In our opinion, probably a work by the artist based on the style of the piece, however, the work lacks a signature, marking or adequate provenance to fully ascribe it.
C. MANNER OF LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921
In our opinion, a work made in the style of the artist listed, most likely by a follower or student.
D. SCHOOL OF LEMUEL D. ELDRED Late 19th Century
In our opinion, a work executed at the time and in the style of the artist listed.
E. AFTER LEMUEL D. ELDRED 20th Century
In our opinion, a work made in the style of the artist listed, but not by the artist. Often used to describe a direct reproduction of an original work of art.
Ascribing Date of Origin
If a date and location are included in a heading, it is our opinion the piece is essentially of the period and was made in the area indicated. The inclusion of the world “style” in the heading indicates the piece was made at a later date as an intentional reproduction of the earlier style.
Dimensions
Unless otherwise specified, dimensions are formatted Height x Width. Dimensions are approximate as they are often rounded to the nearest quarter inch. Furniture and other objects are measured to the tallest and widest points. Paintings are measured by the dimensions of the stretcher or supports. A “sight” measurement is the visible size of an artwork if the piece is obscured by its frame or matting.

5. REJECTION OF BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any nominal raise or any bid or raise which, in his opinion, is not commensurate with the value of the article being offered. At his discretion, he may also reject any nominal raise or any bid that he may determine as having a detrimental effect on the item in question or the sale as a whole. Eldred’s may refuse to issue bidding privileges to any person not in good credit standing with Eldred’s, or to any person who is deemed by Eldred’s in its sole discretion, to be disruptive of or harmful to established auction practices, either before or after the acceptance of bids or the fall of the hammer.

In addition, the purchaser may be subject to one or more of the following actions: a) Any and all legal remedies available to Eldred’s and its consignors by law including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price; b) Immediate cancellation of the sale, with Eldred’s retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser; c) Resale of the property at public auction, wherein the original purchaser shall be liable for any deficiency, costs, and Eldred’s commission on both sales. At Eldred’s option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Eldred’s has collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, their authenticity has been confirmed. A buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.

Connecticut residents picking items up in our Mystic branch or having purchases shipped to their Connecticut address are responsible for CT state sales tax (currently 6.35%). New York residents having purchases shipped to their New York address are responsible for NY state sales tax (currently 4.0%). Due to the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v.
