Attributed to Jasper Miles (American, 1782-1849)
Pair of Portraits: Samuel and Julia Ewing circa 1805 oil with gold leaf on panel unsigned 9 1/2 x 6 3/4 inches.
The portraits are accompanied by two contemporaneous pieces of fabric backing, upon one of which was written: Painted about 1805 in Ohio / Restored in 1905 by Mr. Smith English / Cleaned Dec 22 1932 by G(?)ard and Kate Ewing / Alex Ewing Scotland 1780.
Samuel Ewing (ca. 1788-1857) was born in Pennsylvania and Julia (née Householder, ca. 1792-1874) was also likely born in Pennsylvania. Based on the inscription on the backings, they moved to Ohio before 1805, but the exact year is not known. An Ohio army record shows that Samuel was discharged in 1813, and the censuses of 1850 and 1860 show the family living in Shelby County, Ohio.

Attributed to Jasper Miles (American, 1782-1849)
Portrait of a Child in a Red Chair, Possibly David Hiester oil on panel unsigned 7 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches.

The Hiester family emerged as a political dynasty of sorts in the early United States, producing several Revolutionary War officers, Pennsylvania state senators, and U.S. Congressmen. Family genealogical records indicate that Governor Hiester had at least two siblings and several halfsiblings, although there was no immediate connection to a descendant named David.

The Schooner Governor Ames Near a Lighthouse pastel on paper unsigned 17 1/2 x 21 1/2 inches.
The Governor Ames was launched on December 1, 1888, by the Leavitt-Storer shipyard in Maine as the world’s largest cargo vessel and the first five-masted schooner. She was named for Oliver Ames (1831-1895), the Governor of Massachusetts, and was operated by the Atlantic Shipping Company for the firm’s dealings in the lumber trade. Disaster struck on her maiden voyage when the foremast snapped, creating a domino effect on the remaining masts and resulting in their complete destruction. Rehabilitated with shorter masts, she continued to operate out of Pacific ports before transitioning to the coal trade in the fall of 1894. She wrecked in a gale on December 13, 1909, wherein all but one of her crewmembers died and the entirety of her railroad tie cargo was lost.

Attributed to N. Young (American, Late 19th/Early 20th Century) Ship Idler on Lake Erie pencil and chalk on paper unsigned 19 x 24 3/4 inches.
The Idler was a schooner yacht built in 1864 by naval architect Samuel Hartt Pook from Fairhaven, Connecticut. She was owned by financier and
railroad executive Thomas B. Durant (1820-1885) a regatta enthusiast and long-standing member of the New York Yacht Club. The Idler changed hands several times during the late nineteenth century but was a mainstay in the New York Yacht Squadron until 1899, when she was purchased by James C. Corrigan and moved to Fairport Harbor, Ohio, on Lake Erie.
On July 7, 1900, she capsized and sank on the lake during a squall, and six people on board tragically perished, including Corrigan’s wife, three daughters, and infant granddaughter. The vessel’s captain, Charles Joseph Holmes, survived and was charged with criminal negligence. Though unsigned, the treatment of the clouds is nearly identical to other nautical paintings signed by artist N. Young, a purported Cleveland resident.

Attributed to James E. Buttersworth (18171894)
Sovereign of the Seas oil on canvas unsigned, titled, and inscribed Built by Donald McKay, verso, with illegible numerical notations, likely specifications of the vessel 15 1/4 x 20 1/2 inches.
This painting was likely based on the widely circulated print To Donald McKay, Esq, Builder of the Magnificent Clipper Ship Sovereign of the Seas, first published by Nathaniel Currier in 1852.
McKay (1810-1880) was a Canadian-born American ship-builder famous for the recordsetting speeds achieved by his extreme clippers. Among these vessels was the Sovereign of Seas, built by McKay in New York and launched in 1852. At the time of her construction, the Sovereign was the fastest sailing ship ever built. However, in an untimely turn of events, she was wrecked in the Malacca Straits in 1859.

H. G. Fetter (American/Boston, active Mid-19th Century)
Portrait of a Gentleman, Possibly Thaddeus Mason Harris pastel on paper signed and dated Copy by H.G. Fetter 1848, lower right inscribed Thaddeus Mason Harris / Painted by Mr. Fetter from a / Daguerreotype 7 1/2 x 6 inches.
Thaddeus Mason Harris (1768-1842) was a Harvard librarian, Unitarian minister, and author in Boston, Massachusetts. Harris married Mary Dix (1776-1852) in 1795, and they had eight children, including Thaddeus William Harris (1795-1856) a physician and naturalist who also served as librarian at Harvard from 1831 until his death, during which he developed their university’s library system. The artist, H. G. Fetter, is recorded as a daguerreotypist active in Pennsylvania during the early 1850s.
The daguerreotype process was pioneered in 1839 and became widely used in the 1840s and 1850s, a timeline slightly at odds with the age of the man depicted here. If this drawing was executed after a daguerreotype portrait, it is more likely that the sitter is the younger Thaddeus Harris.
It is very rare to find a documented portrait based on a known daguerreotype of the sitter.

She continued to serve in the Caribbean and Pacific until her decommission in 1919. By repute, the painting was executed by Joseph Harvey Ladew, Sr.

The Henry B. Smith was a steel-hulled lake freighter built in 1906 by the American Ship Building Company at Lorain, Ohio. She was named for prominent Michigan lumberman Henry B. Smith (1858-1919) and was operated by the Acme Transit Company, a firm primarily engaged in hauling cargoes of iron ore. In November 1913, during the so-called “Big Storm,” she went missing on Lake Superior with a full cargo and all hands somewhere north of Marquette, Michigan. The wreck was discovered in 2013 by shipwreck hunters, one hundred years after the Henry B. Smith’s disappearance.

Steamship City of Berlin at Sea oil on panel signed and inscribed A. Jacobsen / 257 8 Av. NY, lower right 20 1/2 x 34 3/4 inches.
The first record of Jacobsen at this 8th Avenue address is recorded in New York City Directories from 1876: “Jacobsen, Antonio, Artist, 257 Eighth Av.” Jacobsen painted another view of this same vessel in 1878, which sold at auction at the Concept Gallery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on November 1, 2014, as Lot 635.
The SS City of Berlin was a British ocean liner that launched from Liverpool on April 29, 1875. She was owned and operated by the Inman Line and made numerous transatlantic crossings between Liverpool and New York, including a record-setting voyage in the fall of 1875, which beat the previously set record by five hours. The City of Berlin was sold to the American Line in 1893 and was subsequently renamed first Berlin, and later Meade. At the time that the American Line owned the vessel, it was the largest seafaring ship of its time. In this capacity, her focus shifted primarily to the Pacific Ocean for much of the early twentieth century before being scrapped in 1921.

A Hand-Drawn Map of the Central States pastel and ink on paper
titled Central States / Domin: of Canada and signed and dated Made by Otto I. Leisy 1876., lower register 11 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches.
The historical record documents an Otto I. Leisy, born in Keokuk, Iowa to German immigrants on May 1, 1863. In 1873, Leisy, his parents, and siblings relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, where Leisy and his two brothers opened The Leisy Brewery on Vega Avenue. By 1880, Leisy bought out his brothers’ interests and expanded his operations to an eight-acre brewing campus. As a result of his fine entrepreneurial acumen, the brewery thrived in the decades before Prohibition, and Leisy, along with his wife and four children, became very wealthy. An obituary published in the Newark Star-Eagle thusly records his passing in 1914: “Cleveland, O., March 2. -- A cerebral hemorrhage yesterday caused the death of Otto I. Leisy, fifty, millionaire brewer, nationally known to German-Americans for his benefactions. He died the very day on which he formally presented to the city [of Cleveland] $50,000 for the construction of a model playground.”
Both Keokuk and Cleveland are prominently featured in the map offered here, suggesting that the drawing may have illustrated the eastward route followed by Leisy and his family.

A Civil War Oval Albumen Photograph of Michigan Cavalry Officer Horace S. Green Circa 1861

stamped three times H.S. Green / 3rd. Michi.gan’y / Co. B, one upper and both lower corners.
7 3/4 x 9 1/2 inches.
According to the genealogical record, Horace Green was born in 1818 to New Yorkers James and Hopestill Eunice Green. The family relocated to Clinton County, Michigan, where Green worked as a farmer as a young man. He enlisted at St. Johns on August 27, 1861, as a sergeant and mustered into Co. B, 3rd Michigan Cavalry, leaving behind his second wife, Lydia, and ten children.
The regiment left Grand Rapids on November 28, 1861, for St. Louis, Missouri, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Robert H. G. Minty. Green and his cohort settled in New Madrid along the Mississippi River, where the water quality was notoriously poor. Consequently, more illness was recorded among the regiment here than at any other point during the Civil War, with a correspondingly high mortality rate. New Madrid was ultimately evacuated given these conditions, and the regiment was dispatched up the Tennessee River to the battlefield of Shiloh, where the men took part in the siege of Corinth in the spring of 1862. Unfortunately, Green had already succumbed to a water-borne illness on March 2, 1862.

All bidders with Hindman LLC must read and agree to Conditions of Sale posted in this catalogue prior to bidding at an auction.
It is highly recommended that all prospective bidders either view the sale via our online catalogue or contact Hindman LLC for further images or to schedule an appointment to view objects in person.
Estimates
Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.
We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.
The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.
Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction.
The standard bidding increments are:
Our auctions are free and open to the public with no obligation for attendees to bid. Registration requires your full contact information, photo identification, credit card information, your signature and agreement to the Conditions of Sale.. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer.
Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com.
If you are unable to attend an auction, you may place an absentee bid, either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. An absentee bid is the highest price you are willing to pay exclusive of buyer’s premium and applicable sales tax. Hindman LLC will exercise absentee bids at no additional charge. Absentee bids are always confidential, and bids are executed at the lowest price possible by the auctioneer according to reserves and competing bids.
You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Upon registering for a telephone bid, you will be called on the day of the auction by a Hindman representative approximately five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will communicate to you the bidding activity and will relay your bids to the auctioneer at your discretion. Please note we can only accept telephone bids for lots with a low estimate of $500 or above unless otherwise noted online. Telephone bids may be requested up to 2 hours prior to the auction start time.
Updated 1.13.23
These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Freeman’s | Hindman, a dba of Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction.
Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.
The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.
We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Freeman’s | Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes.
4. ESTIMATES
Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.
We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.
1. GENERAL
We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that:
(a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and
(c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation.
New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity.
(a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s
name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid.
If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction.
If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal.
If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction.
We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services.
(a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids.
(b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites.
(c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.
When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days.
(a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.
(b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.
(c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Freeman’s | Hindman sole discretion.
The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).
The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.
Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Freeman’s | Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Freeman’s | Hindman prior to the sale.
In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots except for those in Coins, Medals & Banknotes; Sports Memorabilia; and Arms, Armor & Militaria auctions we charge twenty-seven percent (27%) of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000; twenty-one percent (21%) of any amount in excess of $1,000,001 up to and including $4,000,000; and fifteen percent (15%) of any amount in excess of $4,000,001. For all lots offered in Coins, Medals & Banknotes we charge a buyer’s premium of twenty-one percent (21%) of the hammer price. Sports Memorabilia; and Arms, Armor & Militaria auctions we charge a buyer’s premium of twenty percent (20%) of the hammer price. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform, then the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the thirdparty platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium.
The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including,
but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder.

(h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate.
(a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect. Freeman’s | Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is
important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping.

(d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6).
(a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot.
(b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Freeman’s | Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.
Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Freeman’s | Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Freeman’s | Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows:
(a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty.

line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type.
(c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified. “Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty.
(d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice.
(e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion.
(f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot.
(g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else.
(h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must
(i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale.
(i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses.
(j) No employee or agent of Freeman’s | Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.
If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances:
(a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms:

Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.
4. JEWELRY
(a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time.
(b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report
if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report.
(c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report.
(d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.
(a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys.
(b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue.
(c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use.
(d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.
You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.
(a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties.
(b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale.
(c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH.
(d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services.
(e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot.
(f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.
1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL
In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.
2. RECORDINGS
We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction.
3. COPYRIGHT
We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights.
4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT
If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected.
5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
You may not grant a security interest over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities.
6. PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.
7. WAIVER
No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
8. LAW AND DISPUTES
This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of New York. You and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute. The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United
States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958.
