Early affair with a rumored Nazi spy 8004 Inga Arvad Letter to John F. Kennedy Estimate $6,000+ TLS signed in pencil, “All my love, Inga Binga,” one page, 8.5 x 11, November 10, 1943. Flirtatious letter to “Dearest Jack,” in part: “Don’t the oddest things happen in real life? This morning I received a telegram (and mind you N.A.N.A. [North American Newspaper Alliance] only telling me to: Be sure to get an exclusive interview with Jack Kennedy, as they had learned he was due in California…What do you say? Afterall you can’t turn me down, can you?…I will, if necessary fly to San Francisco—and all for business….Now that I have asked for what I am supposed to ask for as a good newspaper woman, I will turn over a new leaf and just be horribly private. You are right here with me. No, unfortunately not in person. But the other day my things arrived from New York and the first thing I saw grinning at me, was that old picture of you which we used in my Washington column… Of course I am sunk when I look at it too long—they can have all the filmstars out here as far as I am concerned—buttering you up….And then—at the same time, ‘Why England Slept’ was there too. I promise to read it right off, and not stop till I get through—even if I die doing it….I don’t quite know what to write to you Jack dear, because if I follow my heart—it will be a love letter, and if I don’t, it will be stiff as an old poket [sic]. But you know me, I am on pins and needles, because I know you will be home soon. You do know—or don’t you—that you are the person in this world I would rather see than anybody—or is that a little too much of an admission?” In very good to fine condition. Accompanied by a modern reprint photo of Arvad. This letter was kept by Evelyn Lincoln when she cleaned out JFK’s senate files to move to the White House. Provenance: Estate of Robert White. The young Kennedy began an affair with Arvad—playfully nicknaming her “Inga Binga”—in 1941 while serving as an ensign in the US Navy’s Office of Naval Intelligence. The FBI soon became concerned that she might be a Nazi spy—a modern day Mata Hari—as she had been Hitler’s guest at the 1936 Olympics. Her home and phone lines were wiretapped and the authorities listened in when she and Jack were together. Although they never found any evidence of wrongdoing, JFK’s father disapproved of the relationship and was concerned it could ruin any political aspirations. Kennedy ultimately ended the short-lived affair, but the two clearly maintained feelings for each other. An early piece of personal correspondence, this excellent letter offers a rare glimpse into Kennedy’s intimate personal life.

“There is a record of President Kennedy being married to:—1. Durie Kerr and also 2. Blank or Blanch”

8005 John F. Kennedy DAR Marriage Record Estimate $6,000+ Typed letter, one onionskin page, 8 x 10.5, June 18, 1962. Letter sent from the Berks County Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to the National Society DAR in Washington. In full: “Kindly advise if in your Genealogical Records—Page 886 there is a record of President Kennedy being married to:—1. Durie Kerr and also 2. Blank or Blanch. Understand both marriages were annulled.” A penciled note stapled to the upper left denotes a related page number in their genealogical records. In fine condition, with rusty staple marks at top. Rumors of a previous marriage to an heiress named Durie

Kerr began to circulate in 1961–1962 when an item in an obscure book came to the attention of the right-wing press. A genealogical register of the Blauvelt family, compiled by Louis L. Blauvelt and privately published in 1957, noted that Kerr—the 12,427th entry in the book—had ‘married third, John F. Kennedy, son of Joseph P. Kennedy, one time Ambassador to England.’ Although Kennedy had gone on a couple of dates with her in the late 1940s, he denied that there was ever a serious relationship and called in his trusted friend Clark Clifford to handle the situation. Clifford—who, entirely coincidentally, also knew Kerr—tracked her down to inquire about it. She gave the same answer—they had gone out to eat and to a football game together, that was all—and signed an affidavit stating she had never been married to JFK. The rumor was not picked up by the mainstream press until after it had been publicly debunked by the administration, minimizing the damage it could have caused to Kennedy’s image.

Hugh D. and Janet Auchincloss.” Jackie is seen second from the left, with the others depicted including her sister Lee and their step- and half-siblings Janet, Nina, Yusha, Jamie, and Tommy Auchincloss.

Scarce 1952 invite to a famous ‘Kennedy Tea’ 8007 Kennedy 1952 Congressman Campaign Tea Invitation Estimate $600+ Printed invitation for an event honoring his mother in Quincy, Massachusetts, on June 1, 1952, 5.25 x 4, featuring the text, “Tea and Reception in honor of Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy and her son Congressman John F. Kennedy.” Attractively mounted, matted, and framed with an image of JFK and Rose Kennedy together. In very good condition. Congressman Kennedy launched his intensive campaign for Senate in early 1952, contesting the powerful Massachusetts politician Henry Cabot Lodge. Rose Kennedy was the driving force behind these ‘Kennedy Teas,’ which she hosted to draw attention to the campaign and earn the support of women voters. An uncommon early Kennedy piece related to his innovative campaign strategies.

John and Jacqueline married at historic St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 12, 1953. The much-publicized wedding featured a massive guest list that included senators and congressmen, Bay State political figures, and several Hollywood luminaries, with the nuptial mass conducted by Cardinal Cushing, the esteemed Archbishop of Boston. An ideal check signed by Kennedy as the adored Massachusetts senator.

Extortion and infidelity— “Senator Kennedy’s picture at the scene of his tomcatting” 8013 John F. Kennedy ‘Secret File’ Senate Extortion Letter and Candids Estimate $15,000+ Material from Evelyn Lincoln’s ‘Secret JFK File’ concerning a extortion case concerning Kennedy’s alleged infidelity, including a letter of May 27, 1959, to Stuart Symington—JFK’s rival contending for the Democratic presidential nomination—with a candid snapshot of Kennedy in the street affixed to the upper left, with a typed caption beside it: “Here is Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, hand hiding his face, recently snapped when leaving his girlfriend’s place at 1 o’clock in the morning. She is a ‘glamour type’ employee of his. That’s a handkerchief in the senator’s right hand. In fact, everything’s there to see but a touch of greatness.” The letter forwards a copy of one sent out to reporters in an effort to smear Kennedy’s name. The body, in part: “We are sending this to you without the knowledge of the people involved because we feel that their lofty approach—sticking only to the job-threat angle—did not show the crumminess of Senator John F. Kennedy, the man who hopes to become the next President of the United States. In her letter to about thirty-five reporters (copy of which is attached) she didn’t tell the real reason for Senator Kennedy’s vengeful threat to take her husband’s job….The fact is, of course, that snapping Senator Kennedy’s picture at the scene of his tomcatting was the reason he threatened to take her husband’s job; and, failing that, it was the reason for sending the many-hatted Mr. McInerney around. The woman who took the picture is an Irish-Catholic who had been a warm supporter of Senator Kennedy. When she observed his spicy capers very first-hand she foolishly believed that, being a middle-aged Irish lad, he was dangerously out of his depth and needed some sort of shock treatment to admit it. But Senator Kennedy thought his behavior none of her business. We think he’s wrong there; it’s part of the package when you’re a public figure running for the Presidency. We have taken a poll of a hundred people. Ninety percent of them would not vote for a philanderer to head up the First Family.” The letter forwarded, in part: “It may or may not be newsworthy that Senator Kennedy thinks it is all right to threaten to

use his political power to take away a man’s job if that man has ‘annoyed’ him personally.” She goes on to describe a personal encounter with him in the street during what sounds like a stakeout: “Senator Kennedy spoke up and said: ‘I want you to stop bothering me. If you do it again, or if either of you spread any lies about me, you will find yourself without a job…If I find you here or any other place annoying me, you won’t have a job.’ All the while the Senator used his index finger for emphasis….My husband has been a salesman for the same company for the past twelve years. He calls on the Air Force, the Marine Corps and the Office of the Secretary of Defense…He just couldn’t be more vulnerable to political pressure.” Additionally included is a slightly different second candid photo of JFK taken only moments after the first, as well as a note from Clark Clifford, reading: “Dear Jack—As per our conversation. Regards, Cliff.” Includes an envelope addressed to Senator Kennedy marked “Personal and Confidential—Eyes Only.” In very good to fine condition. Provenance: Estate of Robert White. While these letters are anonymous, the case in question revolves around a threat by Florence M. Kater and her husband Leonard to expose an alleged affair between Kennedy and his secretary Pamela Turnure. Florence Kater, Turnure’s landlady, had spotted Kennedy leaving her residence late at night and assumed he was up to no good. On July 11, 1958, at one o’clock in the morning, Leonard snapped these photographs of Kennedy leaving yet again. The Katers supposedly then attempted to blackmail Kennedy by demanding a Modigliani painting in exchange for suppressing the story. Kennedy refused to buy their silence, and Florence Kater responded by launching a one-woman campaign to bring attention to Kennedy’s infidelity, beginning by sending a letter and the photos to fifty or so reporters. Despite the potential for juicy headlines, none of the newspapers ran with the story except for an innocuous mention in the Washington Star; between the uncertain circumstances of the photographs—they do not provide indisputable evidence of an affair—and the fact that many editors liked JFK, Kater’s efforts were ignored. Overall, this grouping represents the ultimate in JFK intrigue—the intersection of dirty campaign politics, Kennedy’s famed intimate personal life, and the way he was treated by the media.

8014 John F. Kennedy Campaign Photograph Estimate $200+ Sharp original glossy 9.25 x 7.25 photo of Kennedy at a reception during his 1960 presidential campaign, showing him talking to a young supporter wearing a Kennedy hat and button. Cloth-matted and framed. In fine condition.

Oversized portrait for an American ambassador 8015 John F. Kennedy Oversized Signed Photograph Estimate $2,000+ Classic matte-finish 7.5 x 9.5 portrait of President Kennedy affixed to its original 9.75 x 13.5 mount, signed and inscribed on the mount in fountain pen as president, “To Robert Woodward—with high confidence and every good wish—John F. Kennedy.” In very good to fine condition, with a thin horizontal stain touching one word of the sentiment, two small areas of missing emulsion to the edges of the image, and light irregular toning to the trimmed mount. Woodward was a career American diplomat who focused on international relations with various countries in Latin America. He had been ambassador to Uruguay for three years when Kennedy took office and JFK soon named him ambassador to Chile, a position he held for just three months. In the wake of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, Woodward was made Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, serving for a year before becoming ambassador to Spain. A superb association with international relations during the Kennedy presidency. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

1961 Kennedy brothers judicial appointment for Guam

8019 John and Robert Kennedy Signed Document Estimate $6,000+

Partly-printed DS, signed “John F. Kennedy” as president and “Robert F. Kennedy” as attorney general, one page, 19.75 x 16, September 20, 1961. President Kennedy appoints Paul D. Shriver of Colorado as “Judge of the District Court of Guam.” Signed at the conclusion by President Kennedy and countersigned by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Golden embossed seal affixed to lower left remains intact. Tightly rolled and in very good to fine condition, with scattered overall creasing. Shriver was first appointed as the chief judge of the United States District Court of Guam from its inception in 1951 until 1959; this document marks the third time he was appointed, a term that expired in 1969. Highly appealing as a rarely seen document signed by the two Kennedys. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

Researching T. E. Lawrence’s guerilla tactics as Vietnam heats up 8020 John F. Kennedy Typed Letter Signed Estimate $6,000+ TLS as president, two pages, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, July 27, 1962. Letter to influential English soldier and military historian Captain B. H. Liddell Hart. In part: “You were most thoughtful to send me a manuscript of your article, ‘Guerrilla War—Basic Factors and Reflections.’ I found it interesting and, in many instances, aligned with my own thinking on the subject, although I am not sure that I would have come to all the same conclusions that you did. I will agree with you that ‘those who frame policy and apply it need a better understanding of the subject than has been shown in the past.’ I was interested in your statement on page 6 that ‘The ratio of space to forces is a key factor in guerrilla war. This was vividly expressed in Lawrence’s mathematical calculation about the Arab Revolt—that to hold it in check the Turks would ‘have need of a fortified post every four square miles, and a post could not be less than twenty men,’ so the requirement would be 600,000 men for the area they were trying to control, whereas they had only 100,000 available’…I would appreciate it if you could drop me a line and give me a more exact reference. I am interested in this mathematical calculation, but I haven’t been able to find it in a search through some of Lawrence’s writings. I am pleased that the Dolphin Books edition has now correctly printed your quotation.” In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner. This fascinating letter demonstrates Kennedy’s interest in military history and has an important connection to the impending war in Vietnam. Faced with the prospect of a communist threat in southeast Asia, Kennedy increased American involvement in Vietnam during this period—by the end of 1962 the US had dispatched twelve thousand military personnel to the region, a tenfold increase from the beginning of JFK’s presidency. Still, Kennedy hoped to avoid combat. In comparison to Lawrence’s fight in the Arab Revolt, the roles were reversed—he had led the insurgency against a superpower, while in this case America was the superpower. Perhaps it was Kennedy’s study of Lawrence’s success that made him hesitant to engage in guerilla warfare in Vietnam. It was not until JFK was out of office that Vietnam wildly escalated, and the guerilla war indeed proved disastrous. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

Incredible four-page love letter to a secret mistress—the wife of a CIA agent, murdered in ’64 8021 John F. Kennedy Handwritten Letter to Mary Pinchot Meyer Estimate $30,000+ ALS as president signed “J.,” four pages, 5 x 6.5, no date but circa October 1963. Letter to Mary Pinchot Meyer, a family friend and one of JFK’s alleged lovers. In full: “Why don’t you leave suburbia for once—come and see me—either here—or at the Cape next week or in Boston the 19th. I know it is unwise, irrational, and that you may hate it—on the other hand you may not—and I will love it. You say that it is good for me not to get what I want. After all of these years—you should give me a more loving answer than that. Why don’t you just say yes.” In fine condition, with the tops of the White House stationery clipped off by Evelyn Lincoln; the faded presidential seal watermarks are visible under bright light. Accompanied by a full unused sheet of White House stationery. Provenance: Estate of Robert White. After first meeting Kennedy while he was in high school at Choate, Meyer was reacquainted with him in 1954 when the Kennedys moved into a Georgetown home nearby. A socialite and painter, she became friends with Jackie; her husband was a CIA agent, which has piqued the interest of some conspiracy theorists. Once Kennedy was in office, Mary is said to have visited the White House frequently when Jackie was out of town. Nevertheless, they managed to keep the affair secret. This intimate letter—which went unsent but was retained

“I know it is unwise, irrational, and that you may hate it— on the other hand you may not— and I will love it” by his secretary Evelyn Lincoln—reveals JFK’s personality and the somewhat cavalier manner in which he conducted his affairs. He would indeed be in Boston on October 19th, where he appeared at a Democratic Party Fundraiser, ‘New England’s Salute to the President,’ at the Boston Armory. As Kennedy was killed the following month, this must be one of the last handwritten letters from his presidency. Mary Pinchot Meyer, too, was murdered under mysterious circumstances a year later, fueling the imaginations of investigators amateur and otherwise. An exceedingly rare Kennedy letter boasting revelatory content on his personal life during the presidency. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

Kennedy’s secretary Evelyn Lincoln, one page, 6.25 x 9.25, White House letterhead, May 1, 1962. Jackie pens a postscript, in full: “P.S. from J. B. K. I saw this on Mrs. Lincoln’s desk. Where are those weird pictures you promised to send me!” Lincoln’s initial letter, written to Neil Letson at the office of the Architect of the Capitol, is a transmittal letter for some signed photos of the president.

8023 Jacqueline Kennedy Oversized Signed Photograph Estimate $600+ Scarce color 13.25 x 9.75 photo of the White House affixed to its original 17.5 x 14.25 mount, signed on the mount in blue ballpoint, “Jacqueline Kennedy.” In fine condition, with light overall soiling and some toning to the mount. Commissioned by the Kennedys in 1961 to produce the Official White House Christmas Card, Hallmark President Joyce C. Hall took several photographs of the north lawn and its beautiful circular pool and water fountain; although this version was ultimately not used for the card, the Kennedys presented mounted copies of this photo as VIP gifts. An appealing oversized image of the White House, the historic landmark that Jackie devoted her time to restoring and preserving. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

Thank you for your share in making this contribution possible.” At the end, Jackie writes a final sentence in pencil, “I think it is almost our most exciting acquisition so far!” In fine condition. Jackie’s primary project as first lady was the restoration of the White House to reflect its historic past, and in doing so she solicited donations of important material and artifacts from various organizations. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

8025 John F. Kennedy Presidential Inauguration Parking Sign Estimate $400+ A metal 12 x 18 street sign used in Washington, DC, on the day of JFK’s inauguration, reading, “Presidential Inauguration, No Parking, Midnight, January 19, to Midnight, January 20, 1961.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance, in part: “As a college student at the University of Maryland in 1961, I went to President John F. Kennedy’s inauguration parade…As we started back to College Park, MD. I noticed a metal red, white and blue ‘No Parking, Presidential Inauguration’ sign dangling sideways on a metal wire attached to a telephone pole not far from the White House…I shoved it under my overcoat and took it back to my campus college room as a souvenir.”

Phenomenal JFK rocking chair— certified by his brother as “used by President Kennedy”

8026 John F. Kennedy’s Rocking Chair Estimate $80,000+ Amazing, well-documented wooden rocking chair used by John F. Kennedy, presented by the Kennedys to longtime family cook Nellie McGrail upon her retirement in 1994. The iconic rocking chair measures approximately 33.25 x 43.5 x 28 and is constructed of a hardwood frame with woven cane seat and back, and now bears an affixed brass plaque on one arm reading, “President Kennedy’s Chair, For Nellie, With Love And Gratitude For Your Years Of Friendship And Service, From The Entire Kennedy Family.” Ironclad provenance is supplied in a TLS by Senator Ted Kennedy, March 21, 2000, in part: “This letter is to verify that on behalf of the members of my family, I presented one of the rocking chairs used by President Kennedy to Nellie McGrail when she retired in 1994.” To the best of our knowledge, this is the only Kennedy rocker certified by a family member. In fine condition. President Kennedy became famous for his rocking chair, which he used to alleviate his chronic back pain after a recommendation from his personal doctor Janet G. Travell. He is known to have owned about fourteen similar chairs, which he put anywhere he frequented—in the Oval Office, White House residence, his getaways in Hyannis Port and Palm Beach, and even aboard Air Force One. With numerous famous im-

ages showing JFK in his rocking chair, it has become one of the enduring symbols of his presidency. The recipient of this example, Nellie McGrail, was a native of Palm Beach, Florida, and cooked for the family whenever they visited their Florida vacation home, and she was Rose Kennedy’s personal cook until 1984 when the Kennedy matriarch suffered a stroke and could no longer travel south. Still, Nellie was so beloved by the family that she was flown up to Hyannis Port every year to celebrate Rose’s birthday. Other items included reveal the close relationship between McGrail and the Kennedy family, dated from 1973 to 1983, including: a letter from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis apologizing for a change in plans for the winter, making her unable to enjoy McGrail’s delicious cooking; a letter from Sargent Shriver praising McGrail for her devotion to caring for Rose Kennedy; a letter from Joan Kennedy inviting her to attend a performance at the Kennedy Center; a letter from Eunice Kennedy Shriver thanking McGrail for her cooking and requesting a chicken recipe; a thank-you card from Ethel Kennedy; an invitation to Caroline Kennedy’s wedding; a snapshot of McGrail with Ted and Rose Kennedy; a snapshot of McGrail with Rose Kennedy’s birthday cake; an oversized photo of McGrail with Edward Kennedy, Jr., and his birthday cake, signed and inscribed to McGrail by Teddy, Jr.; and a letter from John Kerry thanking her for her care. As an iconic piece of Kennedy lore with impeccable provenance, this rocking chair is an absolutely remarkable and historically significant piece.

Woodward, highlighted by two flags used in Woodward’s embassy that were presented to him by President Kennedy after being recalled from his post in Chile in 1961. These include an American flag, measuring 48 x 27, and a flag featuring the Great Seal of the United States, measuring 46 x 27, both with yellow-gold fringe on the edges. These are both displayed on the original wooden flag poles with figural golden eagles at the top (the flag poles were not personally presented by JFK). Woodward’s son recalls going to the White House with his father in June 1961, where they met with the president in the Oval Office. Upon presenting them with these flags, President Kennedy said: ’It is my pleasure to give them to you and I regret disrupting your family by asking you back to help us restore our friendship with Latin America, but everyone says you are the best man for the job.’ The Woodward family had been in Chile for just a month when the ambassador was called back to the United States to become an Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, a position in which he was supposed to deal with the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs invasion. Additional JFK items include a three-page secretarially signed letter concerning Woodward’s appointment to Chile, a press photo of Woodward meeting with JFK, and a carbon copy of the letter sent by Kennedy to Francisco Franco upon naming Woodward as ambassador to Spain later in 1962. Other significant items from Woodward’s career are present, including three Dwight D. Eisenhower autographs. These include two TLSs on White House letterhead, one addressed to Ambassador Woodward and the other to his wife, both dated March 3, 1960, thanking them for their hospitality during a trip to Uruguay. The third is a mounted portrait of Eisenhower, signed and inscribed on the mount to Woodward. Other authentically signed pieces include mounted portraits of Lyndon B. Johnson and Adlai Stevenson, both signed and inscribed to Woodward. Assorted other letters and documents are also included. In overall fine condition.

Plimpton’s rare Caroline story— privately printed in just eight copies 8031 George Plimpton ‘Go Caroline’ Privately Printed Book Estimate $2,500+ Exceedingly rare book: Go Caroline! by George Plimpton. Limited printing of eight copies. [Newport, RI]: privately printed by Arthur Blish, [1963]. Issued with quarto yellow self-wrappers, printed on yellow paper with decorative borders and illustrated seascapes, this copy bound as a hardcover in full brick-red buckram with “Go Caroline” in gilt on the front cover, 7.25 x 10.75, twelve pages. In fine condition, with a light scuff at the margin of the title page and very light rubbing to cover extremities. Plimpton’s short, charming story describes a day with the Kennedy family at Bailey’s Beach, Newport, focusing on Caroline’s playful exploits during the day. In the 1990 book The Best of Plimpton, the author writes that this was one of several sketches originally written for Harper’s Magazine but that Jackie requested it not be published—writing about the Kennedy children was off limits, regardless of how positive the story. However, the president so enjoyed the piece that Plimpton ‘had it privately printed for him and the family—a few copies.’ Of the eight copies printed, three were specially bound and presented to the president, first lady, and Caroline; the other five remained unbound. Unbound copies are located at the Library of Congress, New York Public Library, and the Amherst College Library. Arguably the rarest publication associated with the Kennedy family and seldom available to the public.

Removed from the White House walls on November 23, 1963, this was one of Kennedy’s personal favorites 8056 John F. Kennedy and John Jr. Photograph That Hung at the White House Estimate $20,000+ Iconic original vintage 9 x 12.5 photo of President Kennedy seated at his desk in the Oval Office while John, Jr., peers through a ‘secret door’ at the front of the desk, photographed by Stanley Tretick. Matted and housed in its original frame to an overall size of 13.75 x 17.5. Accompanied by a 1992 letter of provenance from Kennedy’s personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, which reads, in part: “This famous picture…was framed and hung in Kennedy’s small room near the Oval Office until November 23, 1963, when it was removed.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the issue of Look magazine in which this image is published. Assigned to travel with the up-andcoming senator in 1960, United Press International photojournalist Stanley Tretick logged more miles with Kennedy during the presidential campaign than any other photographer, quickly building a strong friendship and mutually beneficial business relationship. When Kennedy took office in 1961, Tretick secured a job with Look magazine with the promise of extensive access to the White House from the newly elected president himself. Despite Jackie’s constant fight to shield her children from public view, Kennedy understood the public relations value of images that showed him with his young family and, while his wife was out of the country in October of 1963, allowed Tretick to follow him and John, Jr., around the White House for an article on the father-son pair. This charming image, Tretick’s most famous by far, encapsulates the myth of Camelot, showing Kennedy at work as both the devoted president and the loving father.

8064 Kennedy Assassination Oversized Photograph Estimate $200+ Vintage semi-glossy 14 x 11 close-up photo taken of John F. Kennedy’s presidential limousine at the time of his assassination in Dealey Plaza at 12:30 on November 22, 1963. This is a cropped version of the famous photo taken by AP photographer Ike Altgens which is the subject of many conspiracy theories, as a man resembling Lee Harvey Oswald appears in the upper right corner in the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository. As this image was captured at essentially the same exact time he was shot—JFK can be seen grasping his throat in the back of the limo—it would debunk Oswald as the shooter as he could not have been in two places at once. However, official investigations identified the man in question as a different depository worker. In very good to fine condition.

Private FBI sixth-floor Book Depository candids

8065 Kennedy Assassination Collection of Texas School Book Depository Original Candids Estimate $4,000+ Amazing collection of six original glossy 5 x 3.5 candid photos from the files of an FBI agent, taken inside the Texas School Book Depository during their investigation following the assassination. Subjects include three views of Dealey Plaza, two of which appear to be taken from the angle the shots were fired from in the sixth floor window; two showing the interior of the building with boxes piled high; and one of another photographer. Several are dated “Nov 1963” in the border.

Monroe sends “a 16mm print of ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’” 8072 Marilyn Monroe Signed Document Estimate $3,000+ DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, February 26, 1958. An official letter to fashion photographer Milton H. Greene advising him “that I am now making arrangements, and agree to deliver to you, a 16mm print of ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’ without cost to you. It is understood that this print may not be reproduced, and may not be used for exhibitions for commercial purposes.” The document bears a “Marilyn Monroe Productions” blindstamp in the left margin. In fine condition. Monroe and Greene first met in September 1953 when the latter was a photographer on assignment for Look magazine, and the two quickly became friends. Spurred by Monroe’s desire to have more control over her career, the pair formed an independent film production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, in 1955. After making Bus Stop in 1956, the Prince and the Showgirl was the company’s second project. It starred Monroe opposite Laurence Olivier in a romantic comedy in which a foreign prince attempts to seduce an American showgirl. Although the movie opened to mixed reviews, the performances of Monroe and Olivier were generally well received.

Additionally, on pages six and forty-three, Carson has twice incorporated his surname. During the opening monologue, Carson has omitted the entire original follow-up joke to an opening disclaimer, adding in its stead: “What kind of firm could it be anyway—they only get one job a year—the results have been held in secrecy by Price Waterhouse—secrecy, my eye— I saw Waterhouse in a bar last night with Jack Anderson—.” Prior to the presentation of the award for “Directing & Writing—Comedy,” Carson again changes another lead-in quip, “Mike Douglas is as indigenous to Philadelphia as Cream cheese—and about as funny—with Mike is the working girls’ friend—ladies & gentlemen—Joan Rivers & Mike Douglas—.” Another notable instance concerning Carson’s vision of the ceremony involves Joey Bishop’s dual presentation of awards for “Supporting Actors and Actresses in Comedy and Drama,” which concludes with a pair of roller derby girls fighting on-stage, a gag to which Carson has emphatically added, “No.” Several pages bear ink and pencil notations in another hand.

It is the best analysis of this subject that I have ever seen. Appreciate also the attached reports on NASA future space program planning and I will certainly study them carefully. I am a strong advocate of a greatly expanded NASA space program and regret that Star Trek was not on the air a couple of years earlier because I believe the phenomena which developed might have had considerable effect on public attitude toward financing NASA’s work. At least, the younger generations of voters who have grown up with Star Trek will probably give our space programs strong support when they become the key voting block in our country. We are moving close to that time since it is noticeable at conventions, as you mentioned, that older fans are now arriving at such gatherings with their ‘new fan’ children. I hope we can meet as our mutual friend Fred Durant suggested. We no doubt will have a lot to talk about.” In fine condition.

In fine condition. Since its inception in 1961, fewer than one hundred people have been inducted into the Hall of Fame—including the likes of Gary Cooper, John Wayne, and Roy Rogers. Allen was a film actor, singer, and songwriter known as the ‘Arizona Cowboy,’ whose contributions included the narration of many Disney nature and Western film productions, starring roles in several B-Westerns during the 1950s, and a number of hit country songs. A positively exquisite award embodying the spirit of Allen’s career in Western entertainment.

William Holden’s Primetime Emmy— the Best Lead Actor in 1973

8178 William Holden’s 1973-1974 Best Actor Emmy Award Estimate $30,000+ Iconic original Primetime Emmy statuette awarded to William Holden in 1974 for his leading role as Bumper Morgan in The Blue Knight, an NBC cop drama focused on the Los Angeles Police Department. The award trophy measures approximately 15˝ tall with a base diameter of 7.5˝, weighs 6.1 pounds, and is neatly engraved on the base, “1973–1974 Television Academy Awards, Best Lead Actor In A Limited Series, William Holden, The Blue Knight, NBC.” In fine condition, with the sphere professionally reattached to the female figure’s hands. The Blue Knight aired in four hour-long segments from November 13–16, 1973, and is considered one of the first TV miniseries ever produced; its success certainly proved influential as the form remains popular today. Headlining a star-studded cast that included Lee Remick, Joe Santos, and Sam Elliot—who all received rave reviews— Holden stole the show with his powerful performance. Holden had been one of the biggest box office draws during Hollywood’s ‘Golden Age’ and had received his sole Oscar twenty years earlier in 1954. As one of entertainment’s premiere awards—and Holden’s only Emmy—this is an exceedingly desirable piece.

Incredible leather focus mitts belonging to Bruce Lee 8179 Bruce Lee’s Owned and Used Focus Mitts Estimate $30,000+ Bruce Lee’s circa 1968 personallyowned and -used right-and-left handed brown leather focus mitts, each measuring approximately 9.5˝ in diameter and 1.75˝ thick. Includes numerous photos of Lee striking these mitts during training and exhibition, with several depicting Lee with his wife Linda and toddler son Brandon. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Lee historian David Thadman, in part: “These Focus Mitts are documented in many photographs and martial arts pictorial magazines that have been circulated from 1967 until present day…I have, through photo investigation and research, identified this pair as his personally owned and used equipment…These Focus Mitts over the years have been displayed at many functions, including the famous World of Bruce Lee, run by Norman Borine, one of the first American Bruce Lee historians. These Focus Mitts were given directly to Herb Jackson from Bruce Lee. Herb Jackson was a close friend, student and confidant of Bruce Lee. Herb Jackson handed these Focus Mitts down to his son, Mark Ashton… These are in my opinion authentic beyond any question of a doubt.” Also accompanied by a copy of a letter of provenance from Mark Ashton, in part: “These focus mitts were given to my father Herb Jackson as a gift from Bruce Lee in and around 1968. My father Herb Jackson was a very close friend and confidant of Bruce Lee and was also one of his private backyard students in Los Angeles in the mid to late 1960s.” On his journey to becoming an international movie star, Lee first became a devoted practitioner of martial arts, studying Wing Chun under master Yip Man before progressing to Gung Fu and eventually Jeet Kune Do, a non-classical system founded by Lee on July 9, 1967. Through a strict regimen of strength training and combat practice, Lee became a singularly powerful force whose thirst for knowledge and self-improvement aided in the meteoric development of both his physical abilities and subsequent acting career. Dated to shortly after his role as Kato on The Green Hornet, and originating from the very period Lee and his partner began instructing at The Jun Fan Institute of Gung Fu, these well-worn focus mitts palpably embody Lee’s principle that the best defense is a strong offense. Supported by a wealth of rock-solid provenance, these one-of-a-kind focus mitts not only symbolize Lee’s precise speed and power, but likewise his intense and inimitable passion.

The Godfather

Incredible construction plans for the original Corleone Mall

8184 Godfather Collection of (16) Blueprints for the Construction of the Corleone Family ‘Mall’ Estimate $1,000+ Unprecedented assemblage of sixteen blueprints related to the construction of the Corleone Mall and other set pieces from the classic 1971 film The Godfather. Each blueprint is expertly accomplished in graphite on drafting paper ranging in size from 24.5 x 18 to 36.5 x 54.5, and feature United Scenic Artists, Local 829 and Alfran Productions/The Godfather stamps, the latter indicating date, drafter, and sheet and set numbers.

The making of The Godfather— one-of-a-kind footage filmed at Staten Island’s Emerson Hill 8185 Godfather Original Behind-the-Scenes 8mm Film Estimate $15,000+ Never-before-seen footage chronicling the production of the classic 1972 film The Godfather at the Norton family estate on Staten Island’s Emerson Hill. At approximately 90 minutes in duration, the movie is presented in its original three canisters of 8mm master reels, as well as three additional transfer formats—a Maxell Professional HDCAM cassette, a set of three Sony digital videocassettes, and a pair of two DVDs— all of which consist of exclusive behind-the-scenes imagery of the film’s exhaustive set design and construction, candid moments between Francis Ford Coppola and his crew, the daily routines of stars like Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, and Robert Duvall, and home movie footage of the Nortons themselves as they grow accustomed to their novel film-set surroundings. An expertly detailed, typed four-page accounting of exactly what is on the film is present. Additionally included is a written narrative detailing the day-to-day work involved in preparing for The Godfather’s proposed two-month shooting schedule at Emerson Hill; a copy of daily journal entries detailing production events between early March and late June of 1971; and numerous copies of unique production stills and Staten Island newspaper articles reporting the latest news on The Godfather’s impact on the community, all of which originated from Mrs. Norton’s personal scrapbook that documented her family’s experiences during and after the making of the film. In overall very good to fine condition. The estate of Edward Norton Jr. and his family at the end of Emerson Hill’s Longfellow Avenue proved the exact location Coppola and his crew desired for the home base of their Mafioso patriarch Vito Corleone. The central residence of a stately five-house complex, the Norton mansion underwent an extensive exterior makeover in preparation for a number of pivotal scenes. In addition to wrapping an enormous faux stonewall around the sprawling property, imbuing the Corleone Mall with a decidedly impenetrable look, local Staten Island craftsmen, masons, and carpenters alike were tasked with the construction of the Don’s infamous office, detailing the mansion exterior with a style more befitting of the mid-1940s, and preparing for the movie’s lavish opening wedding ceremony, a 200-guest celebration replete with two huge dance floors, thirty period cars, a six-foot tall cake, 100 gallons of red wine, twelve kegs of beer, and 400 Italian sandwiches. Other significant scenes filmed at the Norton compound include the ‘transition of power’ conversation between Michael and Vito, as well as Don Corleone’s tragic collapse among the tomato vines. Offering an unprecedented perspective into the making of The Godfather, this unpublished footage serves as a unique extension into the film’s background and the various key figures who aided in the work’s lauded authenticity. Originating directly from the estate of the Norton family, this once-in-a-lifetime cinematic treasure is being sold with the copyright.

Constructed of plywood, foam insulation, and layered with Muralo paint to portray stone texture, this gate section approximately measures 35 x 36.5 x 14.5, and served as an outside corner segment, one of many faux wall pieces designed to enlarge the property grounds of the sprawling Corleone mall.

Two large sections of faux wall from the classic 1972 film The Godfather. Constructed of fiberglass and layered Muralo paint to portray stone texture, the sections measure approximately 90 x 47 and 45.5 x 48.5, and served as façades for the faux stonewall designed to enlarge the property grounds of the sprawling Corleone mall, in addition to obstructing the view of neighboring houses during filming. The extensive fabricated walls built to surround the Corleone compound can be observed in three significant scenes: the opening wedding celebration, the transition of power between Michael and Vito, and the Don’s collapse in the garden. In overall very good to fine condition. Oversized.

Brando’s cue cards from The Godfather—“You could be the one who holds the strings” 8188 Godfather Pair of Oversized Cue Cards From ‘Transition of Power’ Scene Estimate $3,000+ Remarkable pair of black cardboard cue cards used by Marlon Brando during the filming of the classic 1972 film The Godfather. Measuring 27.75 x 43.75 and 27.5 x 11.5, the cue cards, prepared to resemble a blackboard, are scrawled in large lettering with white chalk, and consist of a brief dialogue between Michael Corleone and his father, Don Vito Corleone, in which the latter famously offers his son the family business. In full: “M. I’m handling it. D. I knew Sonny would have to go thru this, Fredo, he’s well, he’s—but I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life, I don’t apologize, I’ve taken care of my family and refused to be a fool dancing on a string held by all those big shots on high. I don’t apologize. It’s my life…But I thought when it was your time—you could be the one who holds the strings.” Three words of the dialogue, “by the men,” were lightly smudged over and emended with the added “by all those big shots.” Framed and in overall very good to fine condition. Oversized. Originates from the estate of the Norton family, who famously allowed Francis Ford Coppola, Marlon Brando, and over one hundred crew members to spend a year filming The Godfather at their Staten Island mansion at 110 Longfellow Avenue. In his determination to film a final, intimate scene between Michael and Vito Corleone, Coppola approached screenwriter Robert Towne for guidance in shaping the film’s memorable ‘transition of power’ sequence, a worrisome task for the director given that the Mario Puzo novel offered no such conversation. When the dialogue was finally set, the lines were printed out on cue cards for Brando, a technique the actor had long insisted helped increase his on-set spontaneity. The result remains one of the film’s most poignant and memorable scenes. Additionally, this very cue card is pictured in Peter Cowie’s 1997 publication, The Godfather Book, showing a behind-the-scenes instance in which Coppola watches Brando during makeup application, the cue cards held by an assistant in the background. An incredible piece of film history intimately related to what has since become Brando’s most iconic performance.

Original Godfather film reels from the estate of its creator 8189 Mario Puzo’s Pair of Original Paramount Pictures Godfather Film Reels Estimate $5,000+

Two original film reels of The Godfather originating from the personal estate of Mario Puzo. The metal ‘safety stock’ film reels measure 14.5˝ in diameter, and are encircled with their original string-bound Paramount Picture strip labels, identifying the reels as “1” and “2” of a set of “9 1⁄2.” The strip labels on both reels read: “Title of Picture, Godfather,” “Print Letter, TP 616,” “Production No. 8049,” and are stamped “San Francisco” on splicing directions. Both reels are housed in the original vintage industrial grade Paramount Pictures hinged film reel case. In very good to fine condition, with rusting and a chemical odor. Accompanied by a letter of provenance, in part: “I bought the house I currently live in from Mario Puzo’s heirs in 02/2005, maybe a year or so later we were cleaning out the attic and we found…an original reel to reel version of the Godfather movie…I have been holding onto [this] item for over a decade or so.” Like the majority of spectators at The Godfather’s Loew’s State Theatre premiere on March 15, 1972, the film’s debut marked the first instance author Mario Puzo would see his famed novel come to life. Although Puzo and director Francis Ford Coppola would go on to share a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar, the pair often disagreed over the direction of the screenplay. Coppola, one of Hollywood’s most popular scribes, and fresh off winning an Oscar for his 1970 screenplay for Patton, was ultimately granted final rewrite duties by Paramount executives. In an attempt to stay on production schedule, the same executives barred Puzo from viewing any of the final cuts or edits. Approximately consisting of the film’s first 40 minutes, these reels exist as a unique, potentially never-before-seen keepsake gifted exclusively to the work’s creator. A remarkable offering of celluloid history.

Then they took a limo to the Grosvernor House—signing this receipt for their driver upon arrival—and played an unusual cabaret floor show before an audience dressed in evening wear. They did not enjoy this style of concert and turned down similar engagements in the future. A fantastic piece of early Beatles history. Pre-certified REAL.

Starr’s vintage circa 1963 collarless suit

8255 Beatles: Ringo Starr’s Vintage Stage-Worn Suit Estimate $15,000+ Ringo Starr’s circa 1963 stage-worn vintage two-piece suit. Designed by noted Beatles tailor Dougie Millings, the Pierre Cardin-style suit consists of a beige wool collarless three-button jacket accented with black piping on edges and pockets, beige interior lining, and matching beige stovepipe pants. Both garments bear D. A. Millings & Son labels with handwritten notations on the pants tag inside the waistband, “Ringo Starr, The Beatles.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter on D. A. Millings & Son letterhead, dated June 1998, confirming that the “collarless stage suit, made for Ringo Starr circa 1963, was one of several suits of that style, made of mohair and wool, shiny finish and matte finish, for stage and photographic use.” Eager to distance the band from their leather-clad past, manager Brain Epstein commissioned Millings to create a more refined and modish style for his young Beatles upstarts. After the suits were custom-made and fitted, each member received seven or more sets with different shades and fabrics. Topped with their trademark collarless jackets, the resulting slim-fitting suits were first worn by the Beatles on stage and for television appearances in early 1963, and have since become synonymous with early Beatles fashion and the band’s subsequent meteoric rise. A uniquely desirable piece of early rock history.

8264 Elvis Presley Screen-Worn King Creole Sweater Estimate $4,000+ Elvis Presley’s brown button-up sweater worn during filming of the 1958 film King Creole. A small tag sewn into the collar area reads “Paramount,” with a black ink notation above, “10216 E. Presley,” and along the inside waist are three yellow “Paramount Studios Inc. Men’s Wardrobe” stamps. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, Homer M. Gilleland, the longtime hairdresser of Presley, in part: “During my employment as Elvis’ hairdresser he gave me many gifts of his clothing, and personal property. This dark brown sweater with leather buttons was worn by Elvis in the last movie he did before going into the army, King Creole…Elvis said this was his favorite movie.” Also accompanied by four images of Presley wearing the sweater during a scene in which he breaks a beer bottle and backs out of a dangerous nightclub with Carolyn Jones. With knowledge that he would soon have to report for boot camp, Presley wrote to the draft board asking for a deferment so that shooting of the film could be completed, a request the board subsequently granted with an extension of 30-60 days. Augmented by its rock solid provenance, this is a wonderful Elvis-worn item deriving from one of his most popular films.

Skypeck poem, ‘Soldier,’ in full: “I was that which others did not want to be / I went where others feared to go / and did what others failed to do / I asked nothing from those who gave nothing / and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness—should I fail / I have seen the face of terror / felt the stinging cold of fear / and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment’s love / I have cried, pained, and hoped… / But most of all— / I have lived times others would say were best forgotten / Someday…I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was… / a soldier.

From a Texan jail cell, Crosby agrees to an anti-Vietnam concert 8321 David Crosby Autograph Letter Signed Estimate $1,500+ Rare ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 8.5 x 13.25, no date but postmarked July 18, 1986. Written from the John M. Wynne Unit prison in Huntsville, Texas, a letter to Craig Krueger, in full: “I would of course like to play a benefit concert for the purpose you have outlined. I will be glad to do so as soon as possible. I can’t tell you exactly when I’ll get out, but I’m up for parole right now, and if I get paroled it will be fairly so on. I’m sure my partners are sincere in their intentions to help you. They are honest guys and wouldn’t bullshit you about something like this. It embarrasses me to say it but I’m afraid I’m the only real limiting factor. They can’t commit for the three of us until I make parole. I will let you know as soon as I know. You are doing a good thing. Stay with it.” Crosby adds a brief postscript, “The commitment from me is firm, only the date is in question.” In fine condition. Accompanied a copy of a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: “In 1985, I began to organize the Youth For Vietnams Veteran Concert which took place November 11, 1986. Because David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and John Fogerty all promoted peace, I contacted their management and each of them individually. I wrote to David Crosby while he was in Huntsvile, Texas. I was very pleased when he wrote back to me that he would be happy to perform after he was granted parole. David performed with Stephen Stills, John Fogerty, George Thorogood and Michael Finnigan. Also at the concert along with performers were Peter Fonda and Jon Voight.” Crosby was sentenced to five years in a state penitentiary following his April 1982 arrest at Dallas’ Cardi’s nightclub for felony cocaine and weapon possession; despite the songwriter’s noted anti-violence stance, he began carrying a handgun shortly after the murder of John Lennon. Crosby began serving his sentence on March 6, 1986, and was released on parole after five months, a stint he affirms helped kick his drug addiction. Representing the first instance in which a Crosby prison letter has been offered in auction, this wonderful correspondence piece serves as a uniquely historic bridge between the civil unrest of the 1960s and the role rock musicians played in easing public tension. Pre-certified REAL.

In fine condition. In 1963 the El Tempos released ‘My Dream Island,’ which sold poorly; interestingly, however, Bunny Wailer recorded several successful cover versions of the tune under the title ‘Dreamland.’ Exemplars from this era are virtually nonexistent and, because the band has signed with their legal names, our third-party authenticators are unable to render an opinion. As this is a legal document we have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the item.

Unique Ryden portrait— the ‘King of Pop’

8428 Michael Jackson Painting By Mark Ryden Estimate $30,000+ One-of-a-kind original painting by famed pop surrealist Mark Ryden, oil on board, 7 x 8.75, depicting Michael Jackson as a naked rat wearing a crown, with a symbolic number seven floating above him, a shining engagement ring in the lower right, and Lisa Marie Presley inside a flaming heart. Signed at the bottom, “Ryden.” Matted and framed without glass to an overall size of 19.5 x 21. In fine condition. This painting boasts several important connections to Michael Jackson, the first being that he commission Ryden to make the cover art for his 1991 album Dangerous. Considered the ‘godfather of pop surrealism,’ Ryden’s art has a distinct aesthetic and he has designed album covers for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Aerosmith, as well as book covers for Stephen King; some of his paintings have fetched upwards of two million dollars. In this example he portrays Jackson as a rat, one of Jackson’s favorite animals—and, in fact, the subject of his first solo hit, ‘Ben,’ released in 1972. The crown presumably represents Jackson’s status as the ‘King of Pop.’ The superstar was also interested in numerology, thus the floating “7.” Finally, Jackson was married to Lisa Marie Presley from 1994 to 1996, and the flaming heart surely represents Michael’s feelings towards her—although she ultimately broke his heart—and may be a nod to her father’s famous hit, ‘Burning Love.’ Combining numerous pop cultural elements, this is an incredibly rare, interesting piece. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

Jackson famously wore this tunic when posed alongside Diana Ross following the ceremony, a moment which affirmed Jackson as the new ‘king of pop.’

Fabulous Sleeping Beauty concept panorama—a beautiful, vivid scene

8471 Eyvind Earle Sleeping Beauty Oversized Concept Painting Estimate $15,000+ (Walt Disney Studios, 1959) Original concept art by Eyvind Earle featuring Briar Rose in a colorful forest scene, showing the panoramic landscape as if looking through a castle window. Accomplished in tempera on 29 x 11.5 artist’s board and signed in the lower right corner by Earle. Handsomely cloth-matted and framed. In fine condition. Oversized. Disney artist Eyvind Earle was Sleeping Beauty’s production designer, and Walt Disney gave him a significant amount of freedom in designing the settings and selecting colors for the film. Earle also painted the majority of the backgrounds himself. The elaborate paintings usually took seven to ten days to paint; by contrast, a typical animation background took only one workday to complete. Disney’s decision to give Earle so much artistic freedom was not popular among the Disney animators, who had previously exercised some influence over the style of their characters and settings. Earle’s forest scenes are among his best known works, and this superb, extra-large painting exemplifies his distinct and wonderful style.

Extremely rare Snow White gag storyboard by Carl Barks

8475 Snow White Gag Production Drawings Estimate $3,000+ Very early circa 1936 gag storyboard by Carl Barks accomplished in pencil on six sheets of 12 x 10 animation paper, titled and signed at the top, “Gag for ‘Snow White,’ in which Sleepy gets a sleepy spell while putting the slats in the bed. Carl Barks.” The 23–panel sequence portrays Sleepy being attacked by his shadow as he assembles his bed, eventually succumbing to the ‘sleepy spell’ while the shadow completes the job. In fine condition, with creasing and a tiny tear to the upper right corner of the first page. These gag storyboards from this period are very scarce outside of the studio. Barks started his career at Disney Studios in 1935, where his primary role was as an ‘inbetweener’ whose job it was to create the frames that gave the illusion of motion in between keyframes done by the head animators. However, he also took it upon himself to submit gag ideas such as this for story lines being developed for future cartoons. His abilities were soon recognized and he was transferred to the story department in 1937. This extremely early gag storyboard is not only for Disney’s historic first animated feature, but represents the birth of the career of one of America’s most famous cartoonists. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

Scarce preliminary storyboard for a 1937 Academy Award winner

8476 The Old Mill: Gustav Tenggren Production ‘Ducklings’ Drawing Estimate $4,000+ (Disney, 1937) Original storyboard production drawing by Gustaf Tenggren featuring the ducklings from the Silly Symphony cartoon The Old Mill, showing them quacking during sunset and huddled together during the raging storm. Signed in the lower right, “Tenggren.” Accomplished in graphite on 11.75 x 9.75 animation paper. Mounted, cloth-matted, and framed to an overall size of 20 x 18. In very good to fine condition, with wear to borders. A noted Swedish-American artist, Tenggren was a chief illustrator for The Walt Disney Company in the late 1930s before moving on to work on children’s Little Golden Books. Some of the films he worked on were Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi. This storyboard represents the storm section of The Old Mill—the high point of the short—when the animals encounter a thunderstorm that nearly destroys their habitat. It was innovative in that it was the first film to use Disney’s multiplane camera as a test for use in Snow White. Considered one of the great short cartoons ever made, The Old Mill won the 1937 Academy Award for Best Short Subjects: Cartoons. In addition to the cinematic importance of this storyboard, Tenggren’s artwork is highly sought after in its own right.

We shall never have any trouble so long as we treat the other in a straight forward way. We try to conduct business on this basis and we expect everybody whom we do business with to do likewise. If my criticism of you has been unfair, I will gladly apologize. I think one of the first things you should do, though, to show that your attitude is right is to give us a proper accounting of all monies received by you. It is no disgrace to be hard-pushed for money; we all get there at some time or other. We would not try to embarrass you for payments that would inconvenience or hurt you, but we insist on knowing the true condition of affairs. When may we expect a statement with regard to the monies receivable from these 25,000 books sold since May 1st? We would also like to know the number of books you now have on hand.” In fine condition.

Exceedingly rare signed To Kill a Mockingbird first edition

8502 Harper Lee Signed First Edition ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ Estimate $30,000+ Signed book: To Kill a Mockingbird. First edition. Philadelphia & New York: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1960. Hardcover (brown boards and light green cloth spine with brown titles) with original unclipped dust jacket ($3.95 price on front flap, Jonathan Daniels quote on back flap, Truman Capote photo credit on reverse), 5.5 x 8.25, 296 pages. Signed later on the title page in black felt tip, “Harper Lee.” Autographic condition: fine, with three tiny tears to the top edge of the title page. Book condition: VG+/ G+, with moderate wear to dust jacket including creasing and a few small areas of paper loss (most notably to spine). Accompanied by a custom-made clamshell case. A true ‘Great American Novel,’ To Kill a Mockingbird became an instant classic upon its debut in 1960 and went through fourteen printings in the first year. However, as Harper Lee was an unknown author, only five thousand copies were printed for its July 11th release; first editions are thus extremely scarce, especially with their original dust jackets intact. Lee was also a reluctant signer, making any signed version quite uncommon. All this considered, signed first editions of To Kill a Mockingbird are extremely rare and among the most prized items in all of American book collecting. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.

Bidder: Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal. The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder. All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Credit: In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established credit with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit will be granted at the discretion of RR Auction. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social security number, or the last four digits thereof, so a credit check may be performed prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue. Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 22.5% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed Auctions (the “Buyer’s Timed Premium”), and a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on live Auctions (the “Buyer’s Live Premium,” together with the Buyer’s Timed Premium, the “Buyer’s Premium”). For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later. All purchases delivered to Massachusetts are subject to applicable Massachusetts sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Bidding: Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the strict reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake. All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder. Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder. RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder. It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all RISK OF LOSS once the lot(s) is in Bidder’s possession. Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction


a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid. By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction. RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders. In the event of a successful challenge to the title to any goods purchased pursuant to these Conditions of Sale and the exclusive remedies provided herein, RR Auction agrees to reimburse any Bidder in an amount equal to the successful bid price actually paid by Bidder at auction plus any Buyer’s Premium actually paid, in full and complete satisfaction of all claims, which once tendered by RR Auction, relieves and releases RR Auction from any responsibility whatsoever to the Bidder, even if the instrument is not cashed or is returned. Bidding Options: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid. When identical mail or facsimile bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive. Payment: Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibil-

ity (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than thirty (30) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements. All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks. In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment. If RR Auction refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the “Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in their possession. All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges: Bidder is liable for shipping and handling. RR Auction is unable to


combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs. Title: Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper. Rights Reserved: RR Auction reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone. Conducting the Auction: RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages. RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auction’s record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale. Reserves: Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own. Off-Site Bidding: Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form. RR Auction’s Remedies: Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of default. In such

event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any property in RR Auction’s possession owned by such Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Warranties: RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold “as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title. All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices. Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot


prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly. All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “Certification of Authenticity”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The Certification of Authenticity inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the Certification of Authenticity, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. The Certification of Authenticity is valid from date of the Auction in which Bidder was awarded the lot (the “Auction Date”) until five (5) years after the Auction Date, without exception. FIREARMS. RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm. Limitation of Damages: In the event that RR Auction is prevented for any reason from delivering any property to Bidder, or Bidder is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of RR Auction, the liability, if any, of RR Auction, shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount actually paid for the property by Bidder. In no event shall RR Auction be liable for incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits, value of investment or opportunity cost. Unauthorized Statements: Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction. Bidder’s Remedies: Under no circumstance will RR Auction incur liability to a Bidder in excess of the purchase price actually paid. This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder in conformity with the Warranties and Limitation of Damages provisions of these Conditions of Sale, and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, in the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction shall make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other

amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand, RR Auction shall disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and assign to Bidder all of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and assignment, all responsibility and liability, if any, of RR Auction with respect to said lot or property shall automatically terminate. RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction - this remedy is as to the Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances. If Bidder wishes to challenge the AC within the period of the Certification of Authenticity, Bidder must present written evidence that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field. If RR Auction agrees that the lot is not as represented, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of their purchase price, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable. If RR Auction does not agree with the claim by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Any such challenge concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Bidder’s notice to RR Auction of Bidder’s contention that the lot was not authentic, or six (6) years from the Auction Date, whichever is sooner. If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and the AC, then the description in the AC shall control. This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction. NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE. RR Auction’s Additional Services: For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge. Headings: Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer. Entire Agreement: These Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties. If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court


of competent jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. Governing Law and Enforcement The Parties agree that any agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location. The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, and any other related agreement(s) are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any dispute related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale, or related to or arising out of any other related agreement(s) shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before a single Arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the AAA. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. The Parties agree that Bidder shall have no right to recover consequential or indirect damages, or lost profits damages. The Parties consent to the enforcement of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in either the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Except as provided in Bidder’s Remedies with regard to the Certification of Authenticity, any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other agreement(s) between the Parties must be brought within one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances giving rise to the alleged claim, without exceptions. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute release of any claims after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding on all parties in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by either RR Auction or Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale. The Bidder hereby agrees that RR Auction shall be entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence of the Parties’ agreement, and the Parties further agree that the court shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration related to or arising out of any Auction of an item sold for less than $10,000. This right shall relate to the individual item price, such that RR Auction may, in its sole discretion, enforce its rights pursuant to these Conditions of Sale in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts rather than in an Arbitration for items that in the aggregate exceed $10,000. The prevailing Party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover all of its related costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the proceeding, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and, if RR Auction prevails, the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale. This right of enforcement is unique to RR Auction, and these Conditions of Sale are a waiver by the Bidder of any right to enforcement or adjudication outside of an Arbitration.

CONDUCT OF AUCTION Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 7324280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading). Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction. Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment. Maximum Bids – All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid. Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice. Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. Bidding—Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.


Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/ EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/ EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion. Bidding - Internet – Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www.liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector.com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium. Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a nonsale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s

Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with “do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available. Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions.

Glossary of Condition terms For decades, RR Auction has led the industry in providing an accurate and detailed condition statement for each item that we sell. Starting in 2016 we’ve decided to take a fresh approach to describing each item’s condition. As our website and catalog images continually improve, and bidders can see obvious details from those excellent images, we’ve decided to simplify things, using the same terminology to describe an item’s overall condition (on an ascending scale of 1 to 4: good, very good, fine, very fine), but only adding specific details, if any, that would not be obvious from the illustration. VERY FINE describes an item in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance. FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer. It describes items that show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors. VERY GOOD describes an item that exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example). GOOD describes an item with obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise exceedingly rare or important. Of course we’re more than happy to provide more in-depth information about any item via phone or email. We hope this new system will make for easier reading and a more pleasant bidding experience.
