The

Henri Krijnen Collection

We are proud to present this unique,

fascinating and meticulously built-up collection of our father, Henri Krijnen. Over 50 years he assembled what is in our view one of the best collections of mechanical entertainment. Featuring what could definitely be considered the finest examples in the world today, these mechanical musical instruments represent the largest sale of major orchestrions since the Milhous Collection. Each was hand-picked by Henri as among the finest, most desirable and rarest pieces in existence produced by some of the industry’s most prominent names. His collection was of course never complete, and up until he passed, he was always adding to his ‘mechanical entertainment museum’ and his impressive selection of other collectables, including an antique Karl Muller carousel with hand-carved figures, full barbershop and antique bar, rare Frank Polk character slots and other notable slot machines, cash registers and last but not least a beautiful selection of automatons.

The collection eventually became so large that our father, who made his fortune in the gambling and entertainment industry, literally built his own private museum. After moving his collection three times he finally settled it in a custom built warehouse in Oosterhout, the Netherlands. The museum was never open to the public, though it hosted many events for collectors and enthusiasts. For the first time, in the days leading up to the auction, anyone will be able to attend a preview of the contents at Morphy Auctions in Pennsylvania, USA. We feel our father’s collection is highlighted by the most remarkable assemblies of fair, dance and theatre organs and orchestrions, all original and/or restored by well-known restorers from Europe. A special bond Henri had with Mr. Johnny Verbeeck, who he shared a passion for these instruments and became good friends with. A focal point of the collection is a Decap Robot organ, one of his absolute favorites, complete with pipes, drums and trumpets, all playing in concert. We can still see his eyes sparkle playing the instrument for his grandchildren the first time and looking at their amazed reaction. Another highlight is a Compton theatre organ originally build for the Astoria Cinema in Hull, England. We were quite literally blown away when we heard (and saw!) it play when it was installed in Oosterhout, it is an experience not to be missed, although the mechanically complex and decorative instruments from renowned names such as Mortier, Koeningsberg, Gasparini and Limonaire are also sights to be seen, playing songs that take you back in time. And let’s not forget his other beloved instruments: a beautiful selection of organs and orchestrions from Hupfeld, Wurlitzer and Seeburg to name a few, and last but certainly not least a variety of world-class music boxes and polyphons. Our Father always said “You never really own these works of art. You’re just the caretaker of them for your time, and you have to be prepared to pass them on for other people to enjoy”. We think that it is really important to do just that and therefore are offering this amazing collection up for auction. A substantial part of the collection was acquired through Victorian Casino Antiques in Las Vegas, which auction company eventually merged with Morphy Auctions. With them overseeing this sale, we feel the collection has come full circle and are therefore grateful to Morphy Auctions for bringing it fresh to market!

1001 - NICOLE FRERES SWISS CYLINDER MUSIC BOX WITH HIDDEN ORGAN. 44 - 1/4” x 18” x 33”. 1890, SWISS: This Nicole Freres cylinder music box plays a 16 - 1/3” cylinder with eight ayers (tunes) and has an organ feature adding to the superb sound.

This example comes with an original table and is cased in a wonderful burl and mixed woods cabinet. CONSIDERATIONS: The burl wood cabinet and matching table show light signs of wear and use, some abrasions and veneer cracks, but nothing to distract from a wonderfully made cabinet. The lid of the music box has a slight warp. Mechanically the music box plays perfectly, but it is important to note that on some of the eight tunes, the organ component is a bit overpowering. (Very Good). 8,000 - 12,000

LOT - 1001

LOT - 1003 1003 - EXTREMELY RARE “BRITANNIA” DISC MUSIC BOX WITH STORAGE STAND. 38 - 3/8” x 17 - 3/8” x 104 - 3/4”. 1898, SWISS: B.H. Abrahams of St. Croix, Switzerland, began building Britannia and Imperial music boxes in 1898. The large Britannia instruments like this example are very rare, and to have one with an original base, rarer yet. Playing 72cm (28 - 1/4”) discs across a duplex comb providing a robust tone and sound. Britannia music boxes are known for their bright, often “loud”, sound and among collectors it is either pleasing or strident. CONSIDERATIONS: The walnut cabinet has a deep rich finish, with applied carvings, turned columns, and mixed wood inlays. With minor areas of wear, light surface scratches, from use, but overall the piece is strikingly beautiful. Mechanically sound, no repairs or missing teeth to the comb, and operating as expected with a coin. Comes with 10 discs. (Excellent). 26,000 - 50,000

LOT - 1005

1005 - SYMPHONION STYLE 25GS “GAMBRINUS” FIGURAL PUB MUSIC BOX. 32” x 21” x 43 - 3/4”. 1898, GERMANY: Gambrinus, the jolly king on top of the barrel, has been declared reputedly to be the inventor of beer. He was from Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium - or shall we say Holland - as Holland and Belgium were one country in those days. Symphonion produced these music boxes for pubs or bars in the late 19th century, and located in the barrel is a music box with 84 teeth playing 30cm (11 - 3/4”) discs. CONSIDERATIONS: Attributed to the Werner Staub collection. The barrel and music box mechanism are original and in very good condition with only age defining wear, and some scuffing noted. The chiseled style king on top is a replica, and was done very well. The style 25 GS is a rare instrument and very few survive today. This is a respectable example and fully functional. With one disc and key. (Very Good). 6,000 - 15,000 LOT - 1004

Playing 56cm (22 - 1/2”) discs across 118 teeth and 16 bells on a duplex comb configuration. The unique feature of the style #5 is the selector bar where the patron can select the tune to be played from the tune cards, drop a coin and watch the disc load and play. The box stores 10 discs for play, and has additional storage in the original bottom cabinet. CONSIDERATIONS: The wonderful walnut cabinet has a great finish showing only minor wear from handling. The mechanics of the music box are fully operative, and although these early changers can be temperamental, this box plays upon coin deposit with great regularity. No defects are noted with the comb or with the bells, and the instrument comes with 14 discs. A beautiful music box with great tone and sound. (Excellent). 20,000 - 40,000

1013 - REGINA 27” DISC CHANGER STYLE NUMBER 34 COIN OPERATED MUSIC BOX. 35 - 1/2” x 22 - 1/2” x 77”. 1918, USA: This is a majestic Regina Style 34 coin operated 27” music box called the Orchestral Corona, due to the piano-style sounding board on the back. This version is in quartered oak, has the original gallery top and has an older restoration. Mechanically, both motors have good springs and operate correctly. The selector carriage moves with each selection, but can not be manually moved to select a disc out of sequence.

This would be one of those examples. Coin operation with 106 extra wide teeth playing a 45cm disc (17 - 3/4”) and the added feature of a token dispenser, most likely utilized as a trade stimulator.

At almost 9’ tall, it is a very impressive piece of mechanical music. Includes 3 discs. Featured in “Jukeboxen en Speelautomaten”, a book by H. Krijnen and R. Doornberg, p. 103 (Very Good). 10,000 - 20,000

Playing 52cm (20 - 1/2”) discs across a single comb. CONSIDERATIONS: The mahogany cabinet shows moderate wear due to age and handling.

Walnut cabinet with a dark finish, brass plated gallery, and storage drawer. Coin operated mechanism, and comes with one disc.

Primarily a maker of street organs and marketing them mostly in the France, Belgium, and Holland markets. This instrument is very special, having begun its life in 1910.

It spent a good portion of the 20th century in France, before being restored by Kevin Meayer of England and ultimately acquired into this collection.

1039 - MORTIER 80 KEY CAFE DANCE ORGAN. 110” x 54” x 112”. 1912, BELGIUM: Towards the end of Mortier’s production, these Art Deco organs were mechanically similar to the earlier style organs, but with the addition of an accordion, they were able to add a modern café style instrument to the collection. By that time Mortier’s dominance among Belgium dance organ makers was being challenged by Gebr. Decap, who also made superb dance orchestrions in the modern style. This instrument started its life in 1912 as a large size dance organ in Belgium. In 1990 it was acquired by Henri Krijnen, who enlisted Decap Herentals to downsize the organ to fit the original Mortier façade he had acquired. It was subsequently restored by Martin Conrads of Holland, where special attention was taken to give the instrument a modern sound. The addition of the accordion, some additional noted pipes and a MIDI system all have added to the wonderful sound. This Mortier will play on either tune cards or MIDI. As has been the movement for some time now with modern dance organ builders like Gebr. Decap working to a more modern sound and popular music, this instrument has achieved that sound and is worthy of a listen, so you can experience its contemporary qualities. Visit www.morphyauctions.com and click on the link to view, more importantly, listen to the video. CONSIDERATIONS: Restored, and playing beautifully on tune card and on MIDI.

1040 - GEBROEDERS DECAP 105 KEY “ROBOT” DANCE ORGAN. 1963, BELGUIM: The Decap brothers have always strived to give their organs their own character. They were always looking for improvements and innovations. The Decap organs are therefore immediately recognizable both by appearance and sound character. The Decap organs always had an extensive rhythm section, with complete drum sets and additional percussion instruments such as woodblock, tambourine, temple bells, rumba balls, etc. in such a way that all dance rhythms can be realized. Around 1960, space travel and robots were very much in the imagination of the public and the Decap firm in Antwerp thought that this subject offered good potential for animation. The design of the robot figures reflected the contemporary popular concept of what ‘real’ robots might actually look like. The first such instrument proved an instantaneous success and others quickly followed. The robot organ offered here is the largest of this type to be built by Gebroeders Decap, a 105 key instrument built in 1963. Originally built for Mr. Krekel for Hotel Eemland in Soest (Netherlands), Only three 105 key Robot organs were ever produced, and this one was completely restored by. A.C. Pilmer Automatic Music Ltd. Playing beautifully, with great animation, and a wonderful sound. Be sure to visit our website (www.morphyauctions.com) and click on the video to be have a musical experience like no other.

1043 - MORTIER 102 KEY DANCE ORGAN. 26’ x 5’ 4” x 16’ 8”. 1937, BELGIUM: From the Belgium factories of Theofiel Mortier, came some of the most elegant organs the world has ever known. Some were in the form of temples, other resembled palaces, and others with a much simpler design, but all were triumphs of the woodcarvers art. Mortier is still a name that sounds to many collectors like the Rolls Royce of dance organs, and like this example, built in Mortier’s later years, a spectacle for the eyes and ears to experience. Built in 1937, this 102 key dance organ was built in the Mortier Belgium factory, and eventually purchased and moved to a museum in the UK for many years. It was ultimately brokered by Andrew Pilmer, a dealer/restorer, who completed a restoration and sold it to this collection where it has remained until now. 102 keys, with well over 200 pipes and accordion, this dance organ is built to fill the best of dance halls with splendid music and rich sound. The organ was dismantled in The Netherlands, packed like most of this collection in a container and shipped to our auction house. With great anticipation it arrived in March, and we reassembled it in its entirety, put in a play card, and it erupted in music. It has since been tuned and is playing wonderfully.

1050 - MASSIVE COMPTON 9 RANK CINEMA/THEATER ORGAN. 1934, UK: In the early 20th century custom design pipe organs were used to accompany silent movies, and later as feature entertainment during the era of “talkies”. The Rudolph Wurlitzer company is legendary in this respect, but in the UK, The John Compton Organ Company supplied many of the fine instruments to cinemas throughout the British Isles. This particular organ, one of the finest of its size, was supplied in 1934 to the Astoria Cinema in Kingston, Hull, a brand new state of the art cinema at that time. Seating over 1500 people, the organ had to be powerful enough to fill the large auditorium with sound. It performed for many years until it fell into disrepair in the 1970’s. In the early 80’s, the Compton was removed from the Astoria and reinstalled in a theme park. When this venture failed in 1989, the York Museum of Mechanical Music was able to purchase it. Still in entirely original condition, the organ was purchased into the collection in 1999 when it was been completely rebuilt, and has been the centerpiece of this collection for years. Able to be played manually or via computer, This instrument is complete, from keyboard to compressor to operate, everything is here to redeploy a piece of music history into your venue.

As a side interest, when it was on display at the museum, it was visited by a famous accordion player, Cornellia Voskuylen, who signed the organ. CONSIDERATIONS: Restored, some age cracks to the façade, but nothing distracting. Plays beautifully and comes with 28 tune cards. (Restored). 40,000 - 80,000

LOT - 1052 1052 - A. KOENIGSBERG 70 KEY STREET ORGAN, THE DE HARMONIUM. 61 - 1/2” x 72” x 120”. 1913, HOLLAND: A. Koenigsberg built dance organs and street organs in the same factory where his orchestrions were fabricated. Very much a part of the Belgium/Holland organ makers community at the time, Koenigsberg purchased this organ pre-WW1, when not a lot was know about its provenance. Called the “Harmonium” as the original organ had a harmonium mounted out front, but in order for the organ to be shortened and made more portable, Koeingsberg removed the harmonium, and added the lower façade. in about 1947 was sold to G. Perlee of Amsterdam, no longer in playing order, Mr. Perlee stored the organ in his workshop for more than 30 years. Then, in the late 1970s, he decided to make it playable once again, after which it was bought by Brian Blockley, an organ enthusiast in the United Kingdom. Though the organ itself had been worked on, the façade had not received any attention at all, so once in the UK it was extensively repaired and re-decorated. The replacement upper carved panels were set aside and new ones, based on the originals, were made using old photographs as reference. From the early 1980s onward the organ could be regularly admired, playing at many shows and events in the north of England. The organ was eventually purchased into this collection and in 2011, before it returned to the Netherlands, a major overhaul including re-leathering the bellows and wind chests was completed and the façade was also completely re-decorated and gilded. CONSIDERATIONS: Playing beautifully with the pipes recently tuned. There are a few age cracks in the restored façade that could be repaired, and the cart is an original old one. Includes 81 music rolls. Restored 40,000 - 80,000

1053 - MORTIER 84 KEY DANCE ORGAN (BELLE EPOQUE). 28’ x 4’ 10” x 15’ 8”. 1912, BELGUIM: From the Belgium factories of Theofiel Mortier, came some of the most elegant organs the world has ever known. Some were in the form of temples, other resembled palaces, and others with a much simpler design, but all were triumphs of the woodcarvers art. This dance organ, aptly named “Bell Epoque”, (beautiful time) was built around 1912. After WW2 it was placed in a auto museum in France where it sat for may years. It was purchased into this collection from the museum and the façade was restored prior to Henri passing, however the organ itself was not completed. This 84 key Mortier is very worthy of restoration and bringing it back to be enjoyed by future generations. Sometimes you come across a project that looks like a steep hill to climb where the effort does not return s reward. Not the case with Belle Epoque. By all accounts there is enough great components to this amazing dance organ to bring it back to life. CONSIDERATIONS: Restored façade, some new parts at the top, and what appears to be a complete organ needing restoration. Includes 35 tune cards. Good 80,000 - 150,000

KOENIGSBERG BROTHERS ACCORDION ORCHESTRION. 61” x 31” x 90”. 1920, BELGIUM: Koenigsberg, better known for their Dance and street organ manufacturer, did a lot of conversion work on player pianos to produce full size orchestrions, especially for the Belgium cafes and small dance halls. With this example, using a Weber Brabo as a base, Koenigsberg added an accordion, xylophone, large and small drums, wood block and triangle. This instrument has the tag for A. Geyxen, Brusselles, but it clearly plays as a German instrument from Weber.

As such, here is a Seeburg model “E” upright player piano with mandolin attachment and flute pipes. This orchestrion has been a bit of a mystery as the art glass configuration is that of most model ‘B’s” we have seen, but with the flute pipes, it is believed to be a model “E”. Quartered oak case, with original art glass and lamps. A wonderful example of Seeburg’s offerings at that time.

1082 - NATIONAL AUTOMATIC MUSIC COMPANY PLAYER PIANO WITH AUTOMATIC CHANGER. 59 - 1/2” x 29 - 1/4” x 55”. In the year 1909, with a few hundred dollars, the organization that later was to grow into the Automatic Musical Instrument Company was formed. The assets of the company consisted of 1 automatic electric piano and 2 applications for U.S. patents (then not yet allowed) for a selecting device, by which any desired music roll contained in a magazine could be played. Unlike other mechanical piano companies of the time that sold their machines to business and shop proprietors, The National Automatic Music Co. did not sell their machines, but placed them on location within a revenue sharing contract, and took on the responsibility of servicing and changing music rolls weekly upon the company. A daunting undertaking, when you consider that by 1925 they had 4,000 pianos on location. By 1931, the company took on the task of disposing of all the then useless coin pianos that were being replaced with the company’s new automatic phonograph. Most pianos were then in storage and the company sold the pianos to the storage facility for back fees, and the pianos were then salvaged for their motors and burned to extract all metal parts. It is amazing that this example survived. Beautiful restored quartered oak, complete mechanical restoration, and featuring an “Automatic Whippet Race”, which was retrofitted on some refurbished pianos late in production to offer another entertainment feature. CONSIDERATIONS: With signature 8 slot coin entry plate, working automatic roll mechanism, and fully operational Whippet race feature, this example would be a standout in any mechanical music collection. Includes 18 music rolls. (Excellent). 20,000 - 40,000

1083 - SPECIAL PAUL LOSCHE ORCHESTRIAN FLUE AND VIOLIN SOLO PIANO WITH SAXOPHONE PIPES. 62” x 34 - 1/4” x 94”. 1920, GERMANY: During the early 20th century, the firm of Paul Losche, known as the Leipzig Orchestrion Works, produced a wide variety of pianos and orchestrations, distributed mainly in Germany, Belgium, and England. Because Losche produced pianos and orchestrions under private label, the brand is not widely known by collectors and is thus scarcer in availability. This example, known as the violin and solo piano orchestration, was their most widely distributed model and sold primarily from the 1910’s to mid 1920’s. A seldom-seen version with violin, flute, and saxophone pipes accompanied with piano and mandolin, this instrument has a deep rich sound, but not over powering like American orchestrions of the same period. Many mechanical instrument collectors of today believe the German and European built orchestrions have a superb sound, and this Losche lives up to that standard. CONSIDERATIONS: Showing minimal wear to walnut case, original applied carvings, added sconces, and playing well with a recent tuning. This wonderful instrument would make an excellent addition to any mechanical music collection. Includes 28 music rolls. (Excellent). 20,000 - 40,000

They were also very well know for private labeling instruments for other manufacturers, and as such their products are not as well know to collectors. This example of a Losche orchestrion is their Jazz Band Piano, made in 1928.

A point of difference in Weber music roll arrangements may be noted. The Weber control registers constantly change.

1091 - WURLITZER AUTOMATIC HARP STYLE “ A”. 40” x 27” x 77”. 1908, USA: Among the earliest automatic musical instruments was the unlikely self-playing harp. Like the Violano, it was perfected by an independent inventor, J.W. “Row’’ Whitlock. Whitlock spent six years developing the automatic harp and the patent, issued on September 8, 1900, read as follows: ”This invention relates to musical instruments which are automatic in their action, starting upon the introduction of a coin... and stopping automatically when the piece is finished.” In 1905 Wurlitzer established an agreement with Whitlock to sell the harps on an exclusive basis. The two firms signed a contract for 1000 harps, to be delivered in three years, at a rate of 35 per month. The last harp was produced in late 1910 or 1911. The harp contains sixty fingers (almost human in their operation) and produces a volume of soft, sweet music equal to several Italian harps played by hand. The face of the instrument is covered by large harp-shaped plate glass, showing the interior lit up by electric lights and the wonderful little fingers picking the strings. This feature gives the instrument an exceedingly attractive appearance. Approximately 1100 style harps were made, of which 4 are known to exist today. The change of case design to a Style B took place in 1906. About 400 Style B harps were made of which 7 are known to survive. CONSIDERATIONS: The oak case shows an earlier restoration, with the internal cabinet original with the original Wurlitzer decal. Celluloid tag with patents is intact, and the Harp is complete. Most collectors know these instruments are temperamental, and although this one is playing, it may need new strings and a good tuning. Very rare and very desirable by collectors. Includes one music roll. From the collection Werner Straub. Very Good 50,000 - 80,000

Bodson of Paris, France, in the 1920’s. The accordion player was made in the likeness of famed Italian jazz artist Tino Rossi, with an accompanying drummer/percussionist. From the original advertising flyer of J. Bodson, “Their heads, eyes, eyebrows, lips, arms, hands, fingers, feet, by their graceful movements, give the perfect illusion of a human face always smiling.” Working from pneumatic rolls, the black man playing the drums is Mr. Jimson of Martinique, his movements really play the drums, and cymbal and operated from air. Tino plays a genuine Italian accordion of the first brand. It folds and unfolds automatically and its keys function pneumatically. The air, exactly nuanced, passes through the real blades. Tino’s other movements including eyes, fingers and hands is through a series of metal strings connected to a cam operated by electric motor. Bodson made these orchestrions to be sold or rented to local establishments for entertainment. Less than five are known to exist, and this is the only known example with all original clothing, wood stand, and accordion. 82

1129 - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AUDIO-ANIMATRONIC AUTOMATON: “JO JO IVORY AND THE PADDLE WHEELERS”. Largest: 100” x 60” x 100”. 1979, USA: Walt Disney patented the terminology “audio-animatronic” in 1967, where prerecorded audio was synchronized with the movement of robotics to produce a very life-like effect in his attractions at Disneyland. By 1970, southern California had become the hub of robotic engineers and several companies adopted and licensed Disney ‘s patents to produce very entertaining exhibits and displays for Hotels, Casinos, Fairs and theme parks. In that same year, a hotel opened in Paradise, NV, called the Royal Americana Hotel, which ultimately became the Paddlewheel Hotel and Casino, before being purchased by Debbie Reynolds in 1990. In 1979, The Paddle Wheel casino tapped into the audio-animatronics craze in California and commissioned an entertainment attraction, called “Jo Jo Ivory and the Paddle Wheelers” to be built and placed in their theater to entertain guests. The attraction was modeled after famous jazz musicians of the 1950’s and 60’s, and includes a piano player and vocalist, (Jo JO) a trumpet, clarinet, base and sax musicians, with a banjo playing vocalist. Henri Krijnen purchased the attraction in 1995 from the then Debbie Reynolds hotel and had it restored from 2003 to 2009 by Hoffman Figurines out of Bad Rodach Germany. To say this is an amazing example of 1970 Audio-Animatronic engineering would be a gross understatement. The action includes, eyes, hands, mouths, cheeks blowing air, and near perfect synchronization of singing to lip movements, and motion to musical instruments. The prerecorded sound is produced from a server with hard drive control box, Ultragraph equalizer, and deploys 99 prerecorded songs and actions. Able to be played in Juke box mode, single song at a time, or continuous mode, one song after another.

Excellent 3,000 - 6,000 1202 - FOLDING BAGATELLE GAME TABLE. 43 - 3/16” x 27” x 34”. 1830, UK: The game-top to this table was built by Joseph Sanetti of Manchester, UK., while the base was imported from the Netherlands. This bagatelle table is the forerunner to the contemporary pinball games of the 20th century. Delving into history, we can find a reference to a Bagatelle device as an amusement in chapter 14 of Charles Dickens’ 1836 “The Pickwick Papers”, where members of the Pickwick Club had fun at a bagatelle game in the Peacock Tavern. This example is mounted to a base where, when opened, it will slide to the center giving equal overhang on both sides. Clearly marked for the maker, Joseph Sanetti, with some original markers, all the original balls, but unfortunately, no instruction on how the game was played. CONSIDERATIONS: Remarkable given the age of the game, the walnut base was refinished at some time and has a great patina. The bagatelle game is also walnut and has very little wear, all of the ivory inset game markers are intact, and the table folds up into a great side table. (Very Good). 1,000 - 3,000

2309 - FLIGHT & SON BARREL ORGAN WITH VULLIAMY CLOCK. Largest: 43” x 22” x 55”. 1820, UK: This barrel organ was made by Benjamin Flight & Son, which post dates this instrument after Flight and Robson were in partnership in about 1800 and styled themselves as “Organ Builders to the Prince Regent”. The only two other known examples of this musical instrument are in Museums in Moscow and in Holland. This instrument is a combination of a Flight & Son small barrel organ with a clock tower added with a famous Vullimay Clock at the top. Benjamin Vulliamy was the son of Justin Vulliamy, a clockmaker of Swiss origin, who moved to London around 1730. Vulliamy clocks were of considerable value and represented the climax of technology at the time. This makes this instrument early, very rare, and likely one-of-a-kind. Through linkage it is believed the clock will activate the organ. A very rare instrument indeed and worthy of restoration and a home in a museum. CONSIDERATIONS: This instrument and clock was a restoration project in process at the time of Henri’s passing. There are two barrels, the pipes are present and the clock mech, weight, and chains are included. A fantastic project and opportunity for someone to have a piece of mechanical music history. (Project). 10,000 - 20,000

In no case shall MORPHY’s liability exceed the winning bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, MORPHY’S maximum liability shall be limited to any buyer’s premium earned on that lot. • Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, MORPHY’S reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. MORPHY’S also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.

• There is a subjectivity to grading, especially the grading of cards. Every effort is made to verify the condition of each lot as it is described. MORPHY’S accepts items for auction after careful scrutiny by not only ourselves, but, when necessary, by other leading authenticators. We cannot guarantee that every card described by us will in all cases receive exactly the same grade, or even be accepted for grading, from any third-party grading service. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that every card graded by one third-party grading service will in all cases receive exactly the same grade by another third-party grading service. Occasionally a lot description will include the words “we have submitted,” which is intended to be taken literally and give bidders great confidence that MORPHY’S has not “done anything” to the cards to alter or otherwise improve their appearance and ultimate grade. No warranty, whether expressed or implied, is made with respect to any grade, condition, or other adjectival descriptions, which can and do vary, even among experts. • Large Autograph Group Disclaimer: When dealing with a single individual auction lot containing many items, these lots are offered with the explicit understanding that it is possible that there may be a small percentage which are not authentic. When authenticating large lots, such as a collection of 6,000+ signed 3 x 5 cards, or a set of 700+ signed baseball cards, great care has been taken in the authentication process, with all the greater attention focused on any items representing a concentration of value. It is always possible that on rare occasions a secretarial or stamped signature could be missed here or there. Without this disclaimer, as a practical matter, it would not be possible for MORPHY’S to offer such lots at all. All bidders bidding on such lots do so with this understanding. • Abbreviation/Definition/Condition Key: PR — Poor, GD — Good, VG — Very Good, EX — Excellent, NM — Near Mint, MT — Mint. NOTE: If an item has a multiple grade such as VG-EX, then that item falls somewhere in between those two conditions. GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective buyers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential buyers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions.

Terms & Conditions It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions. JEWELRY AND WATCHES • Jewelry Descriptions and Condition Reports: Lots being offered are sold as-is on the day of sale. Condition reports, either written or verbal, are provided as a courtesy only, and are not to be taken as fact or guarantees of condition or quality of the lots. All information provided is the opinion of the specialist at MORPHY’S, including but not limited to weights, grades, color, and clarity. All gemstones and diamonds are measured and graded in their setting unless stated otherwise. All weights and grades are approximate. Buyers wishing to have a grading or gemological report from an independent, internationally recognized laboratory, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gemological Laboratories (AGL), may request one at their own expense or hire an independent adviser of their choosing. • Watch Descriptions and Condition Reports: The physical characteristics, timing accuracy or functionality of timepieces cannot be guaranteed, and all items are sold as-is. o Any condition statement reflects the condition of the watch on the date of the report. Condition can change from the time of the report to the day of sale. o Photographs are for identification purposes only. Buyers may not use them as precise indications of size or condition. o The origin or authenticity of all components cannot be guaranteed. o Watches with waterproof or water-resistant cases – MORPHY’S may open cases to develop descriptions, and cannot guarantee that any watch is waterproof or water-resistant at the time of purchase. MORPHY’S recommends that the buyer have a professional watchmaker evaluate the watch at buyer’s expense. o Buyers must be aware that watches may need general service, change of battery, or further repair work for which the buyer is solely responsible. o Dials - All watches have the possibility that after their original date of manufacture they received reconditioning or replacement of dials or elements of the dial such as but not limited to standard or luminescent hour markers, hands, script, date or measurement indices, lacquer, and finish. Buyer is solely responsible for determining and understanding such condition issues. • The lack of a condition report does not imply that the item or lot is free from imperfections, defects or wear and tear of the aging process. This includes but is not limited to: deficient stones, needed repair or defects.

• It is common and generally accepted in the jewelry industry that some diamonds and most gemstones have been enhanced with various treatments to improve their overall appearance. o These treatments include but are not limited to: heating, dying, oiling, laser drilling, HTHP, wax, bleaching, irradiation, resin or polymer impregnation and various other techniques. o Unless stated in the title, it is assumed that one or more treatments have been performed to the stones. While many treatments are considered permanent, this cannot be guaranteed. o Please note that many treatments cannot be determined without sophisticated laboratory testing. Due to the various laboratories and developing scientific methods for testing, not all reports or certificates will have the same results for treatment type, extent of treatment and stability of treatment. o MORPHY’S makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to whether natural stones have been treated or enhanced, whether specifically referenced or not. • Laboratory reports may accompany some lots o If a lot is accompanied by certificates or reports from internationally recognized and accepted gemological laboratories, it will be noted in the description. o Copies will be available upon request, with the original going to the successful bidder. o The reports cannot be guaranteed and are provided for informational purposes only. Results on reports may differ from laboratory to laboratory. o MORPHY’S accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, terms or information contained in such certificates or reports.

Near Mint 90% - 96% Very Good 70% - 79%

BIDDING RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES

The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. MORPHY’S and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. MORPHY’S is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with the internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding. • AGENT BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept bids from an individual agent authorized by a company or another individual. MORPHY’s requires any agent to provide a signed letter of authorization from the buyer of record company or individual allowing the agent to bid on their behalf. • ABSENTEE BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept absentee bids if pre-authorized by mail, fax or through www.morphyauctions.com online. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form and clearly mark the lot number, title and maximum bid amount. Absentee bidding forms may be accessed online at www.morphyauctions. com. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. All bids must be (continued...)


bidder

Terms & Conditions left in increments as explained on our bid form. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. Bidders may preview, register and place bids online through our website, www.morphyauctions.com. Invoices will be auto charged to the credit card MORPHY’s has access to and is on file within 48 hours after the end of the sale. If you wish to pay by another method please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the MORPHY’S absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated. • ONLINE BIDDING - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions. com, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Proxibid, or other bidding platforms may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply. A surcharge will be added for third party online platforms. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium. If there is a tie bid between the internet bidding venues and the floor, the floor bid takes precedence. Invoices will be auto charged to the credit card MORPHY’s has access to and is on file within 48 hours after the end of the sale. If you wish to pay by another method please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. If you are a first-time bidder with Morphy, we do not have access to Live Auctioneers and Invaluable credit card information. Due to our fast-paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, internet bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item actually sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Online bidders are fully responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally. • BID RESULTS – MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from MORPHY’S. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, packing and handling, shipping, insurance, and any other charges that apply. Please hold phone inquiries regarding bid success until after receiving your invoice. For verifications, MORPHY’S cannot provide winning bid information until the second business day after the auction. MORPHY’S will not provide bidder information to any outside sources. • TELEPHONE BIDDING - Requests for phone lines must be received at least three (3) days prior to the auction date. MORPHY’S cannot guarantee phone lines but will make every attempt to accommodate those who wish to participate through that method. Phone lines are provided on a first come first served basis. Please visit www. morphyauctions.com or call 717-335-3435 to request a call from our representatives during the live auction.

BID INCREMENTS

Bid increments listed are a general guideline. Actual increments are at the auctioneer’s discretion. If a lot does not receive a bid of 50% of the low estimate, the lot will be passed by the auctioneer. $0 - $500…................$25 $500 - $1,000….........$50 $1,000 - $2,000…......$100 $2,000 - $5,000…......$200 $5,000 - $10,000....…$500 $10,000 +…............... Auctioneer’s discretion

RESERVES

Most of our items are unreserved, but occasionally items may carry a moderate reserve. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below our low estimate. In the case of a reserved item, the seller has authorized the auctioneer to bid on their behalf until the reserve price is reached.

BUYER’S PREMIUM

A 20% buyer’s premium will be added to all successful bids and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase cost. A 3% merchant fee is also automatically applied to all invoices but can be discounted upon payment by cash, check, money order or wire transfer that is received within 7 days from the receipt of the invoice. If the type of payment is split, invoice will reflect the 3% charge for merchant fees on the entire invoice. In addition, a surcharge will be added for certain third-party online bidding platforms the bidder utilizes. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium.

SALES TAX

MORPHY’S is required to collect sales tax where our company established nexus in the previous year. Sales tax rate will be charged by law on behalf of the state and locality where the customer of record takes possession of their purchase. Lots are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with MORPHY’S including lots delivered to you, or your representative. It is the bidder’s responsibility to know the sales tax rate applicable. As a convenience, here is a resource to find your applicable sales tax: https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator. Bidder agrees to pay MORPHY’S the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by MORPHY’S five days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by MORPHY’S within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. Lots from different auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.

PAYMENT, INTEREST & STORAGE FEES

Any invoice totaling more than $100,000 must be paid within three (3) days. All other merchandise must be paid in full within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice. Payments can be made by going to your account online at www.morphyauctions.com, call 877-968-8880 or mail payment to: Dan Morphy Auctions LLC 2000 N Reading Rd, Denver, PA 17517. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1-1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 30 days from the invoice date. All goods not retrieved by Buyer within 45 days after the invoice date, shall be subject to a daily storage fee as follows: $5/day per regular sized item or $10/day per oversized item. Buyer authorizes MORPHY’s to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by MORPHY’s and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer. Any outstanding balance will be auto charged to the credit card on file. If you wish to pay by another method, please contact us within 48 hours after the sale.

bidder

Terms & Conditions We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, personal checks, certified checks, wire transfers, money orders, and cash. • Sneakers, Jewelry, Watches, Coin and Currency Items – We accept cash, wire transfer, check, certified checks and money orders only. No credit cards will be accepted for invoices containing these items. • CREDIT CARD – We will not accept credit card payment for any jewelry, watch, coin or currency purchases. If a credit card is used as any form of total payment, invoice will reflect a 3% surcharge on the entire invoice. This charge is automatically added but will be discounted if payment is received by cash, check, money order or wire transfer. MORPHY’s reserves the right to refuse to ship to a different address than the billing address on the credit card being used. • CHECK - There will be a $30.00 service charge for returned checks. Make checks payable to: Dan Morphy Auctions LLC. MORPHY’S reserves the right to hold items paid for by personal or company check until said check clears (14 days). MORPHY’S has the right to hold all checks over $2,000. Customers who have an established successful buying history with MORPHY’S may be exempt from this requirement. We will accept a personal or company check >$2,000 from a first time buyer if you provide a Bank Letter of Credit, available on our website, www.morphyauctions.com. • WIRE TRANSFERS – There will be a $30 charge added to all wire transfers less than $2,000. Please add this amount to your invoice total before sending a wire transfer. In the few situations where a successful bidder does not remit payment when due, MORPHY’S will proceed with the legal steps necessary to protect its interests and will block the bidder from future auction participation.

PACKING/SHIPPING

• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping, handling, and insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items. • BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the buyer at his/ her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Packaging, shipping, and insurance on all items that MORPHY’S agrees to ship to locations that can accept shipments will be made available as an added courtesy and at an additional cost. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. All applicable charges will be applied to the invoice. Shipping will be based on actual costs via UPS, USPS, or other carriers required based upon the contents of the shipment. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the items on each invoice. All packages will be shipped with insurance. Oversize and breakable items, which MORPHY’s will indicate on the invoice, will ship based upon the buyer’s arrangement with a 3rd party shipper. MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. Again, if any employee or agent of MORPHY’S shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee

• SHIPPING TERMS - MORPHY’S will ship items to the buyer at the listed address via UPS or other carriers, FOB Denver, Pennsylvania or FOB other auction locations. Any risk of loss or damage to the item(s) during transit via UPS, or any other carrier, in excess of the insurance provided by or purchased from MORPHY’S, is at the risk of the buyer. Any additional insurance coverage should be purchased by the buyer through the carrier. Buyer releases MORPHY’s from any and all claims for loss or damage to any item during transit and agrees to pay all costs of defense, including attorney’s fees, for any claims brought against MORPHY’S for loss or damage occurring during transit. • INSURANCE - Shipping insurance is automatically added, which you can decline by contacting us and providing a signed waiver of insurance form. Insurance for all 3rd party shipments must be arranged through that carrier. Insurance provided or purchased through MORPHY’s applies only to shipments to the United States and Canada. Buyers must purchase their own insurance for shipments to other countries. • INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – MORPHY’S has the capability to ship to international bidders. By law, MORPHY’S cannot, and will not, declare lesser values for any international purchases and all shipments will include the invoice with purchase totals including the buyer’s premium and shipping cost. All international bidders are responsible for knowing their country’s laws on importing items and for paying all customs and duties on the items. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OVERSIZE ITEMS – Buyers will need to either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service for oversize items. As a general guideline, the following will indicate which packages apply, as they are of a certain weight, length, or dimensional size. • Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132” • USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size • USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size • International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size • There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE, DELICATE, FRAGILE ITEMS MORPHY’S reserves the right to choose items and orders that it will pack, ship, and/or insure directly using our shipping department. Those items that MORPHY’S will not ship will require that the buyer either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service. Examples of items that may apply after determination by our shipping department include but are not limited to: items with neon of any type (working or non-working), all glass display cases of any size; coin-operated, arcade and vending items with fragile parts and/or glass; signs with parts or protrusions beyond the main body of the sign, oversized vases (guideline – larger than fit in a 20” x 20” x 40” box), high value lamps and glass of all sizes, high value artwork including but not limited to paintings, statuary, sculpture, figurines, dioramas, and other intricate items; and items subject to impact by moisture and known handling issues in the supply chain. Under no circumstances will MORPHY’S be responsible for shipping damage to picture frames of any kind. For any buyers who wish to arrange for their own shipping, MORPHY’S must be notified at least seven (7) days prior to arrival of the shipping company name, arrival date and time. Pickup must be scheduled to begin and end within our normal business hours (9am – 4pm weekdays). Buyers must arrange (continued...)

Terms & Conditions weekend pickups in advance with MORPHY’S staff, and additional charges may be necessary for overtime. All 3rd party shippers must arrive with a copy of the invoice, • STORAGE FEE – MORPHY’S will charge a daily storage fee of $5/day per regular sized item or $10/day per oversized item for any items awaiting pickup for more than 45 days following the invoice date. Buyer authorizes the MORPHY’s to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by MORPHY’s and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer. • FIREWORKS – MORPHY’S can only ship Class 1 Division 1.4 and 1.6 Explosives (as described in the following website: http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/hazmat/placards/class1.html) per the 49CFR 173.50 and can only ship these via UPS. All items not shippable must be picked up by the buyer.

AGREEMENT REGARDING GOVERNING LAW, VENUE, AND LEGAL RIGHTS

I hereby understand and agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to MORPHY’S Bidder Terms & Conditions, which includes this provision (hereafter referred to as “Terms & Conditions”), MORPHY’S, or the breach thereof (hereafter referred to as “Claims”), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. I hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the appropriate court in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Claims and their enforcement, and I agree that any and all Claims must be adjudicated, heard, determined, and resolved in said court, and I hereby irrevocably waive any objection on the ground that any such action or proceeding in said court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. MORPHY’S failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms & Conditions or any other legal rights, shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms & Conditions by MORPHY’S must be made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of MORPHY’S specifically referencing the provision(s) contained within the Terms & Conditions to be waived. Headings used in the Terms & Conditions are for convenience only and are not to be relied upon. If any provision of the Terms & Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms & Conditions shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms & Conditions will inure to the benefit of, and are intended to be, enforceable by MORPHY’S, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, members, directors, officers, and licensees. There are no third party beneficiaries to these Terms & Conditions; a person or entity who is not a party or signatory to these Terms & Conditions has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rely upon or enforce any term or provision of these Terms & Conditions.

POST SALE RETURN POLICY

MORPHY’S engages knowledgeable experts to provide catalog descriptions on the merchandise we sell. Every effort is made to ensure those descriptions are accurate and that they fully disclose any exceptions to condition. Any buyer who has made their payment within the due date of 7 calendar days who wishes to report a problem must notify MORPHY’S within three calendar (3) days of receipt of their purchased item. Buyers who have not made their payment within the due date of 7 days may not return any items under any circumstances. No lots purchased by floor bidders (including those bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned. Please refer to MORPHY’S limited guarantee herein. A Return Authorization Number (RA#) must be issued by MORPHY’S before you ship anything back to our address. Any items arriving without a return authorization will not be given a refund. The item in question must be shipped with the RA# on the outside and inside of the package, with full insurance, so it arrives at MORPHY’S within one week of the aforementioned authorization.
