The recipient, William Hill, was appointed United States district attorney for North Carolina by President George Washington in 1790, news of which was announced here by Jefferson as his Secretary of State.

Pelham, Boston,” and franked in the upper right as secretary of state, “James Madison.” Postmarked at Washington on October 13th, with an ink notation to the inner envelope dating the year 1804.

Rare presidential commission from an empty White House

10. [James K. Polk] Presidential Commission Dated to the Day Polk Left the White House. Partly-printed vellum document, one page, 15.75 x 19.75, March 3, 1849. A presidential appointment for Charles S. Merchant as a “Major in the Third Regiment of Artillery.” Signed in a secretarial hand on behalf of President James K. Polk and Secretary of War William L.

Following the election of Zachary Taylor, President Polk departed the White House on March 3rd, but continued working at the Irving Hotel in Washington until his term expired at noon the next day. However, because March 4th fell on a Sunday, and Taylor didn’t want to take the oath of office in violation of the Sabbath, he wasn’t sworn in until Monday the 5th. This presidential window between Polk and Taylor has led some people to believe that the 12th president wasn’t Taylor but Missouri Senator David Rice Atchison, the Senate president pro tempore at the time, whose tombstone reads ‘President of the United States for One Day.’ Starting Bid $200

Rare signed document from President Zachary Taylor regarding early Brazilian-American relations

The beige paper seal remains affixed to the upper left. In very good to fine condition, with slight fading and overall wrinkling. Starting Bid $200

13. Abraham Lincoln Document Signed as President - Civil War-Dated Pardon. Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, July 27, 1864. President Lincoln directs “the Secretary of State to affix the Seal of the United States to a Warrant for the pardon of Thomas S. Cassidy.” Neatly signed at the conclusion in ink by President Abraham Lincoln. The second integral leaf has been professionally inlaid into a slightly larger sheet; in fine condition, with a very small repair

to the lower right edge. President Lincoln liberally indulged in the president’s pardon power throughout the Civil War, often intervening on behalf of soldiers at the behest of their wives; a record that has helped to cement his legacy as a kind and humane leader. Boasting Abraham Lincoln’s bold, full signature, this is a supremely desirable Civil War-dated warrant for a merciful presidential pardon. Starting Bid $1000

First

Lady Mary Todd Lincoln uses the War Department to convey a political favor during the rebellion

17. Mary Todd Lincoln Autograph Letter Signed, Couriered by the War Department. ALS, signed “Mrs. Lincoln,” one page, 5 x 7.75, no date but likely circa 1863-1864. Handwritten letter to Gustav Gumpert in Philadelphia. In full: “Send the name immediately of the young man who desires a cler[k]ship. The place is given to him. Name only required. I write you today. Please attend to the contents.” Under her signature, Lincoln adds, “Send name today—by telegraph.” The letter is addressed at the top in Mary Todd Lincoln’s hand, “Through War Department, Mr. Gomfort [sic], 1226 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Penn.” In very good to fine condition, a trivial chip to the top edge, and two small rectangular stains to the upper blank area.

Gumpert, this letter’s recipient, came to the United States with his family in 1856, eventually becoming the country’s “tobacco king” after taking over his father’s cigar business. Mary Todd Lincoln and her son, Tad Lincoln, often visited the store on Chestnut when in Philadelphia, becoming friends with Gumpert. The young Lincoln purportedly had the run of the store—on one occasion scattering the contents of the cash drawer on the floor, and riding a pony through the establishment on another. It is likely that during one of those eventful visits to Philadelphia that Gumpert and Lincoln spoke of a young man desiring a clerkship, with the businessman using his familiarity with the first lady to court a political favor from her. Starting Bid $1000

Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 8.5 x 11, August 25, 1868.

S. Grant. In very fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/ DNA as “MINT 9.”

George Henry Boker (1823–1890) was an American poet, playwright, and diplomat, who served as the U.S. Minister to Constantinople from 1871 to 1875 when his position was transferred to Russia, which was considered a more prestigious appointment. The new political administration under President Rutherford B. Hayes viewed Boker unfavorably and, despite securing support from Emperor Alexander II of Russia, Boker was recalled in 1878. Starting Bid $200

Vying for the Vice Presidential nomination, Senator Kennedy reimburses one of his earliest campaign supporters

26. John F. Kennedy Rare Signed Check as a Massachusetts Senator - PSA MINT 9. Rare personal check (The National City Bank of New York), 6.25 x 2.75, filled out in another hand and signed boldly by Kennedy, “John Kennedy,” made payable to Rhode Island Senator John Pastore for $27.94, dated June 19, 1956. In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “MINT 9.”

In 1956, John F. Kennedy had been a Senator for three years and was attempting to make a bid for the Vice Presidential nomination. The DNC was to be held in August and Kennedy set about laying the groundwork for his campaign early. One of his earliest supporters was John Pastore, a United States Senator from Rhode Island (1950-1976). On a visit to New Bedford, Massachusetts, for an event honoring him and his wife, Kennedy invited Pastore and others to join him. The event, held on May 30, 1956, saw voters from Fall River and New Bedford brace the cold New England weather to celebrate John and Jackie at a nonpolitical, bipartisan social

event. Also in attendance was Albert A. Gore, Sr. of Tennessee, who in a speech remarked that Kennedy would make an excellent presidential or vice-presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.

When the DNC finally rolled around three months later, Senator Kennedy was greatly disappointed when, instead of selecting him as his vice-presidential running mate, Adlai Stevenson left the nomination in the hands of the Democratic National Convention; Kennedy came in second, losing to Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver. Four years later, Kennedy again found himself at odds with Stevenson, who informally challenged his nomination for the presidency in hopes of running again himself. With his national profile at an all-time high, Kennedy emerged as the strongest candidate and comfortably earned his party’s presidential nomination. Checks signed by Kennedy are of considerable scarcity — as president or otherwise — with this being only the fourth example that we have ever offered. Starting Bid $500

Letter to Rhode Island Senator John Pastore, sent during Kennedy’s unsuccessful bid for the Vice Presidential nomination at the 1956 Democratic National Convention. In full: “I am enclosing my check for $27.94 to cover cost of your transportation from New Bedford to Washington on the 30th of May. Again, thank you for going up there and with kind regards.” Kennedy has added a handwritten postscript below: “This is the committee’s desire.” Beneath this inscription, Pastore has written a note back to Kennedy, “It was an honor and pleasure to come to New Bedford. This is unnecessary although your thoughtfulness in doing it is appreciated, John.” In fine condition, with a light crease and staple holes to the upper left. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “MINT 9.”

“I am certain that we never would have survived the Eisenhower landslide if it had not been for the effectiveness of our organization”

28. John F. Kennedy

Typed Letter Signed as a Massachusetts Senator - PSA MINT 9. TLS as a Massachusetts congressman, signed “John Kennedy,” one page, 6.25 x 9, personal Congress of the United States, House of Representatives letterhead, November 25, 1952. Letter to Charles, in full: “I am sure you know how much I appreciate all of your efforts during the past months of the campaign. I am certain that we never would have survived the Eisenhower landslide if it had not been for the effectiveness of our organization, an organization, in my opinion, which was the best that the state had ever seen. I fully realize that this victory was won by the people such as yourself who carried out the many arduous but necessary tasks which constitute political success, and I want you to know how grateful I am to you for all your assistance. I am looking forward to seeing you sometime soon to thank you personally. I hope you will let me know if there is ever anything I can do.” Kennedy adds a handwritten postscript: “Many many thanks Charles.” In fine condition, with some light creasing in the lower blank area.

A letter of great historical interest following Kennedy’s election to the Senate with a close victory over Republican incumbent Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. Kennedy, with the help of his brother, launched an innovative and personal campaign that utilized volunteers across the entire state, an organization that he credits here as the backbone of his success. Lodge, who neglected his Senate campaign for most of 1952 and instead served as Dwight D. Eisenhower’s campaign manager for the latter’s presidential bid. On the weekend before the election Eisenhower visited Boston and energetically campaigned for Lodge, but it was not enough. Although Eisenhower carried Massachusetts by over 200,000 votes, Kennedy narrowly upset Lodge, winning by 70,000 votes and three percentage points. Starting Bid $200

Robert Todd Lincoln’s brass bifocal glasses, presented by his wife to their family photographer— from the Lincolniana collection of Dr. John K. Lattimer

178. Robert Todd Lincoln’s Brass Bifocal Glasses - From the Collection of Dr. John K. Lattimer. Son of President Abraham Lincoln (1843-1926) who served as secretary of war in the Garfield and Arthur administrations. Historic pair of brass bi-focal glasses “identified and attributed to Robert Todd Lincoln by Mr. James Hickey, retired Lincoln Curator of the Illinois State Historical Society,” per an accompanying copy of an affidavit by David Rowland, noting that they were received from Robert Todd Lincoln’s wife, Mary Harlan Lincoln, on or before February 26, 1894, and remained in his family’s possession until 1985. Complete with a dark leather case with gilt-stamped retailer’s label, “Charles Waldin, Jeweler and Optician, 305 Jefferson St., Burlington, Iowa.” The optician’s location is noteworthy, as Mount Pleasant, Iowa—hometown of Mary Harlan Lincoln—is a mere 30 miles west of Burlington. Robert Todd Lincoln and his family would spend summers in Mount Pleasant with Mary’s family, with Robert making occasional train trips back to Chicago for business. These simple, wire-framed brass bifocal glasses were subsequently part of the collection of Dr. John K. Lattimer, a prolific collector and researcher of the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations.

The accompanying affidavit traces the lineage of the glasses back to Rowland’s great-great-grandfather, Joseph Leisenring, a photographer of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, who was a neighbor and friend of the Harlan family. Leisenring took several of the known, youthful photographs of the Lincolns’ children, Mamie and Jack. Also part of the Leisenring collection, and also owned by Dr. Lattimer and described in the affidavit, were a pair of President Abraham Lincoln’s glasses, which realized $179,250 in the sale of Lattimer’s collection of Lincolniana.

Provenance: The John Lattimer Collection of Lincolniana, Heritage Auctions, November 20, 2008. Includes copies of the original auction description and introductory letters by Tom Slater and Evan Lattimer, discussing the history of Lattimer’s comprehensive collection. Starting Bid $500

Rare signed portrait of the genius, presented to the great-grandson of Karl Marx

The great-grandson of Karl Marx, Robert-Jean Longuet met Einstein during an interview for the French Communist newspaper ‘Ce Soir’ about the peaceful applications of atomic energy.

He commented on the scientist’s photograph (translated): ‘His long white hair falls to his shoulders. He wears an old blue wool sweater, like sailors. He looks nothing like the image we usually have of a mathematician. He looks more like an artist.’

This wonderful portrait of the genius, captured by fellow German-Jewish emigrant Herman Landshoff, is a world famous pose and was adapted for use on the 15-cent U.S. postage stamp issued in 1979 to honor the centenary of Einstein’s birth. It is seldom seen in signed examples. Starting Bid $1000

“Personal” letter from Tesla, reimbursing a fellow Serb, written from the Hotel New Yorker

224. Nikola Tesla Autograph Letter Signed. ALS in Croatian, one page, 5.25 x 6, Hotel New Yorker letterhead, November 2, 1937. Handwritten letter from Nikola Tesla, addressed to Milos Tosic of the General Consulate of Yugoslavia in New York, in full (translated): “I am sending $100 in the attachment, thus settling the amount you sent me on the 1st of this month. With thanks, I remain your friend.” In fine condition, with some light creasing to the right side. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, hand-addressed by Tesla who marks the envelope as “Personal.”

After a lifetime of conceiving revolutionary technological ideas, Nikola Tesla spent his final ten years essentially penniless and secluded at the Hotel New Yorker, occupying rooms 3327 and 3328. Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company paid his rent and a $125 per month ‘consulting fee’—possibly to avoid the bad publicity of having their once-star inventor living in poverty. It is no wonder that he was drawn to the Hotel New Yorker: it was the most technologically advanced hotel of its time. The basement held the largest private power plant in the United States, the 41st floor housed a massive telephone switchboard that employed 95 operators, and every guest room was equipped with a radio.

The consignor notes that this letter was sent to his grandfather, Milos Tosic, an officer in the Serbian Army who met Tesla by chance in New York City in 1918 when the latter was feeding pigeons on 5th Avenue. Tosic was making his way to the consulate when he recognized the famed inventor and approached him, striking up a conversation. When Tosic informed a curious Tesla that his uniform belonged to the Serbian military, Tesla explained that he too was Serbian and requested that he inform him of all that occurred to his countrymen during the war. They spoke on the sidewalk for two hours before parting ways.

Tosic returned to New York in 1928 for assignment at the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia). He quickly reconnected with Tesla, who had fondly remembered their first meeting 10 years prior, and the pair, for another decade, remained good friends, often having lunch together at the Hotel New Yorker.

Handwritten religious tract by Sir Isaac Newton on “juggling tricks of ye Devils”

220. Isaac Newton Handwritten Manuscript Fragment on Religion. Unsigned handwritten manuscript fragment by Isaac Newton, one page, 7.5 x 2.25, no date but circa 1700. An eight-line fragment plus four marginal citations from an apparently unpublished theological work by Newton. In part: “Martyrs, saith he to Vigilantius, &… Eunomius the author of this heresy, frame a calumny against ye Church & are you not terrified wth such society that you should speak the same things against us wch he doth against ye Church? For all his followers enter not into ye Churches of the Apostles & Martyrs……Eunomius feigned that these were juggling tricks of ye Devils, & that ye Devils did not truly cry out but counterfeit their torments.” Affixed by two small pieces of archival tape to a piece of acid-free mat board, the fragile fragment is in very good condition, with a tear extending down from the top edge and staining over the left half not affecting readability whatsoever.

Newton, born into an Anglican family, wrote extensively on religion throughout his life and is often associated with Arianism, which opposed the concept of the Holy Trinity. Eunomianism, a 4th-century movement led by Eunomius of Cyzicus, was an extreme variety of Arianism and condemned as heresy at the Council of Constantinople. In this text, Newton seems to take a stand against Eunomius, distancing himself from the views frequently attributed to him. In addition to his scientific studies, Newton was well-learned in the history of the early Church and his personal religious views continue to be the subject of intensive study. A superb, insightful piece from the hand of one of science’s greatest names. Starting Bid $1000

Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as “MINT 9.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Oppenheimer’s hand. Oppenheimer turned 51 years old in 1955, ten years after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Starting Bid $300

Magnificent Eisenstaedt portrait of Oppenheimer and Einstein, signed by the atom bomb’s creator

221. Robert Oppenheimer Signed Photograph with Albert Einstein, Taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt for Life Magazine - One of a Kind!. Amazing vintage matte-finish 9.75 x 8 photo of Oppenheimer with fellow physicist Albert Einstein together at Princeton in 1947, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen, “To James Wiggins—Robert Oppenheimer.” Reverse bears a Life Magazine credit stamp. In very good to fine condition, with creasing, primarily to the corners. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder. Exceedingly rare, we know of no other signed photographs of Oppenheimer with Einstein—two of the towering names of 20th-century physics.

This image comes from a series taken at Princeton in 1947 by renowned photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt for Life Magazine after J. Robert Oppenheimer was named as director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Though this exact image was not published in Life Magazine’s piece on the Institute in the issue of December 29, 1947, a very similar one was, captioned: ‘Einstein tells Oppenheimer about his newest attempts to explain matter in terms of space.’

Einstein’s relationship with Oppenheimer has become the subject of renewed interest in light of its portrayal in Christopher Nolan’s 2023 film: articles on the physicist icons and their collegial affiliation have recently appeared in Vanity Fair, GQ, Esquire, and other popular media outlets. After World

War II, both lived and worked at Princeton—at the Institute for Advanced Study—where Oppenheimer served as director from 1947 to 1966.

Oppenheimer’s relationship with Einstein is best described in American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin: ‘He thought of Einstein as a living patron saint of physics, not a working scientist…Einstein harbored a similar ambivalence about Oppenheimer…But what he admired about Oppenheimer was the man, not his physics. Still, Einstein would never count Oppenheimer as one of his close friends, ‘perhaps partly because our scientific opinions are fairly diametrically different.’ Back in the 1930s, Oppie had once called Einstein ‘completely cuckoo’ for his stubborn refusal to accept quantum theory.’

However, their scientific differences of opinion did not preclude the two from enjoying each other’s company. American Prometheus relates: ‘Knowing Einstein’s love of classical music, and knowing that his radio could not receive New York broadcasts of concerts from Carnegie Hall, Oppenheimer arranged to have an antenna installed on the roof of Einstein’s modest home at 112 Mercer Street. This was done without Einstein’s knowledge—and then on his birthday, Robert showed up on his doorstep with a new radio and suggested that they listen to a scheduled concert. Einstein was delighted.’ Starting Bid $1000

223. Robert Oppenheimer: Alois Derso Original Sketch. Original pencil sketch by political cartoonist Alois Derso, showing the ‘father of the atomic bomb,’ J. Robert Oppenheimer, wearing his trademark porkpie hat as he paces through a field, drawn on an off-white 8.25 x 11 sheet, signed and dated along the bottom by the artist, “Derso, June 5/1950.” Derso also identifies the subject, “Oppenheimer,” at the top, and sketches a simple atomic model at the bottom. In fine condition.

The Hungarian cartoonist Aloïs Derso (1888-1964) and fellow Hungarian artist Emery Kelèn served as unofficial caricaturists to the League of Nations in Geneva, then emigrated to New York, where they performed the same role for the United Nations. Their caricatures appeared in leading newspapers, as illustrations to books and in their own portfolios of lithographs and works such as The United Nations Sketchbook (1950). Their archive is held at Princeton University, and they are the subject of a recent monograph by Stefan Slater and David MacFadyen. Starting Bid $200

Freud, Tegel June 1930.” Archivally matted and framed to an overall size of 17.75 x 20.75. In fine condition, with scattered light staining to the mount. An exceptional display piece boasting a rather opaque inscription, one that could be interpreted as being an uncommon example of Freudian selfdeprecation, or perhaps as a reference to the photo’s ‘out of focus quality’ and the studio’s ‘ugly’ product. Starting Bid $1000

Rare D-Day Naval Ensign flag from the USS Burnett County, a tank landing ship from the Invasion of Normandy

383. Normandy Invasion Flag from the USS Burnett County (LST-512). Historic World War II-dated 48-star U.S. Naval Ensign flag from the USS Burnett County (LST512), an LST-491 class tank landing ship built for the United States Navy and assigned to the European Theater where it participated in the Invasion of Normandy. The cotton flag, 60 x 36, marked as size “No. 11,” contains seven red and six white horizontal alternating stripes and a dark blue canton with 48 white stars. Also included are other World War II souvenirs, including various pieces of shrapnel, shell casings, currency, and a handwritten note from the sailor who collected the flag and shrapnel, detailing where he found the items; the note, which is in several pieces, comes with a modern transcription. In very good to fine condition, with overall darkened toning, scattered marks and stains, and a tattered fly end.

The Normandy landings, code-named Operation Neptune and better known as D-Day, were a pivotal moment in World War II. On June 6, 1944, the Allied forces launched the largest seaborne invasion in history, marking the beginning of the liberation of France and Western Europe. This daring operation paved the way for Allied victory on the Western Front.

Landing Ship Tanks (LSTs) were specialized ships developed during World War II to land troops and vehicles directly onto beaches during amphibious assaults. Unlike traditional ships that required docks or piers, LSTs had a shallow draft and a unique bow design with opening doors and ramps. This allowed them to get close to shore and unload cargo, tanks, and troops directly onto the beach. The LST design made them highly versatile. They could handle both deep ocean travel and shallow beach landings. The flat bottom allowed them to rest on the beach while the twin propellers and rudders were protected to avoid damage during grounding.

LSTs played a crucial role in World War II for the Allied forces, with more than 1,000 American LSTs built to support the Allied war effort. The design originated from a collaboration between the British and the United States. The British used converted ships for early landings in 1942, and then both countries built new, improved LSTs together. These ships were used extensively in both the Pacific War and the European Theater, including the D-Day invasion in Normandy. Starting Bid $300

Remarkable WWII-era presidential card

by

the

‘Big Three’ Allied leaders—FDR, Churchill, and Stalin—at the important Tehran Conference of 1943

384. WWII: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin Signed Presidential Card from the Tehran Conference (1943). Vintage fountain pen signatures of the leaders of the ‘Big Three’ Allied countries during World War II—Franklin Roosevelt (“Franklin D. Roosevelt”), Winston Churchill (“For Nicholas, Winston S. Churchill”), and Joseph Stalin (“J. Stalin”)—on an off-white 4 x 2 card giltembossed with a presidential eagle. Affixed to a 4.75 x 6.5 scrapbook page and in very fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

Provenance: removed from a book belonging to Nicholas Eden, 2nd Earl of Avon, sold at Christies, London, (2 Dec. 2003, lot 86; and 3 Dec. 2010, lot 45). Those lot descriptions observed that the proximity of this card to a similar card with the signature of the Turkish statesman Ismet Inonu suggests that it was signed at the Tehran Conference of 28 November–1 December 1943; the Second Cairo conference, which Inonu, (but not Stalin) also attended, followed a few days later. Further,

a similar card held by the Library of Congress, originating from the papers of W. Averell Harriman, is described as a souvenir of the Tehran Conference.

The historic Tehran Conference was the first of the World War II conferences of the ‘Big Three’ Allied leaders, preceding the Yalta and Potsdam conferences of 1945. The main outcome of the meeting was the Western Allies’ commitment to open a second front against Nazi Germany, laying the groundwork for ‘Operation Overlord’—the invasion of Normandy—in 1944. It also marked the beginning of discussions on the division of Europe and the post-war settlement, foreshadowing the tensions of the emerging Cold War. The conference elevated the status of the Soviet Union as a global power and affirmed the principles of democracy, self-determination, and human rights as central to the Allied vision for the post-war world. In essence, the Tehran Conference solidified the Allied commitment to defeating Nazi Germany and laid the foundation for the geopolitical landscape of the 20th century. Starting Bid $5000

Fully functioning 1943 Enigma I cipher machine used by the German military in WWII

399. WWII German Enigma I Cipher Machine (c. 1943, Fully Operational). UUltra-desirable, fully functional World War II-era three-rotor Enigma I electromechanical cipher machine built for the German military by Heimsoeth and Rinke in Berlin in 1943. Based on the chassis of the commercial Enigma D, the Enigma I machine was the standard Enigma machine used by the German military throughout the war. It features an ebonite Steckerbrett [plugboard] on the front, which was exclusive to the German armed forces and exponentially increased the complexity of the code. This version of the Enigma is sometimes referred to as the Heeres [Army] Enigma, Wehrmacht Enigma, or Luftwaffe Enigma due to its military-specific application.

The Enigma machine is housed in its original oak case, with serial number plate “A15788/jla/43” on the keyboard. The hinged inner front panel is stamped “Klappe Schliessen [Keep Closed]” and boasts a rare Reichsadler military eagle stamp, rarely seen on surviving Enigma cases. The machine and case are in excellent condition and show wear characteristic of use during the war. The unit as a whole has been refurbished and restored to full operation.

The three included rotors—marked as “I,” “II,” and “III”—match each other with serial no. “A5094,” indicating that they were manufactured in Berlin in 1938. Though the serial numbers of the Enigma machines and their rotors matched when issued, mismatches are typical of field-used machines. Rotors were often swapped out at German communication outposts as they were interchangeable and not dedicated to specific machines.

The Enigma machine has a standard German “QWERTZ” keyboard with 26 white-on-black keys, with matching “QWERTZ” lighted display. When a key is pressed, the corresponding encoded letter—as determined by the specific arrangement of the rotor wheels and plugboard—is illuminated. The rightmost rotor steps once each time a key is pressed. At an adjustable point it triggers the middle rotor to step, and so on. Through this mechanism, an easily crackable simple substitution cipher

is avoided—letters are not encoded the same way twice. An encoded message would be written down and transmitted, usually via radio telegraph.

In order to decode a message, the Enigma machine on the receiving end would have to be set up with the plugboard and rotor wheels in the same pattern as the sending Enigma: when the encoded message was typed in, the decoded letters would light up, revealing the secret message one character at a time.

In the early 1930s, genius Polish codebreakers developed techniques for the decryption of Enigma code, and turned over their research to Allied counterparts after Germany’s 1939 invasion of Poland. Alan Turing and the other brilliant code breakers at Bletchley Park continued their important work, speeding up the time it took to decode Enigma messages. The codebreaking efforts at Bletchley Park led to the development of the world’s first computers as technology was pushed to defeat German cipher machines. Historians agree that these decoded messages shortened World War II by about two years, perhaps denying Nazi Germany the time needed to develop nuclear weapons. As a functional, war-dated example of the German military’s Enigma machine, this piece is truly a marvel of technological and WWII history. Starting Bid $25,000

Scarce Sweden-made Hagelin C-38 cipher machine

400. Hagelin C-38 Cipher Machine. Uncommon WorldWar II–era Hagelin C-38 mechanical pin-and-lug cipher machine manufactured in Sweden, measuring 7˝ x 5.25˝ x 3.5˝, missing the identification plate from the front of the locking case, but marked with serial number “1466” inside. Held inside the top of the case are the oiler, paper tape, and tweezers. Complete with two original Zeiss Ikon keys, used to lock and unlock the case and device’s upper panel. Also includes a Signal Corps canvas carrying bag, marked “CS76-B,” containing five spare reels of paper tape, a bottle of purple ink, TM11-380 War Department Technical Manual, US Army Engineer School Signal Operation Instructions (1954), US Army Engineer School Radio Telephone Procedure Instructions (1956), and three examples of Signal Corps Message Book M-210.

The Hagelin C-38 is a portable hand-operated mechanical cipher machine initially developed in the late 1930s by the entrepreneur and inventor, Boris Hagelin. Hagelin fled Sweden for the United States at the outbreak of WWII and worked with the US Military to refine his cipher machine design: this collaboration resulted in the M-209, which is functionally identical to the C-38; in effect the C-38 can be seen as the civil version of the M-209. Some minor differences include the lid locking mechanisms and leather, rather than canvas, carrying strap.

The relationship between Hagelin and the US goes much deeper than the collaborations during WWII: a February 2020 article in the Washington Post detailed the secret relationship Hagelin had with the CIA and German Intelligence services. The development of the M-209 lead to one of the biggest intelligence operations in CIA history, known as ‘Operation Rubicon.’ In this operation the CIA used their secret technique to allow them to read all of the M-209 and other Hagelin cipher machineenciphered messages until 2018.

This rotor-based cipher machine does not require electricity and is lightweight and durable, making it perfectly suited for tactical front line use. While the code generated by the device was not as strong as the Enigma code, and could sometimes be read within 4 to 24 hours by the Germans, it was considered secure enough for tactical messages that were of no value after that length of time. The key is set by using the six adjustable cipher wheels with moveable lugs. Text is entered letter-by-letter using the selector wheel on the left side, and the encoded output letter is printed on the narrow paper strip. Starting Bid $1000

Scarce example of the Swiss successor to the Enigma machine

401. Swiss NEMA Model 45 Cipher Machine. Original Swiss NEMA Model 45 cipher machine, serial no. TD-311, developed by Zellweger AG in Uster, Switzerland, during World War II as a replacement for the German Enigma Model K that was being used by the Swiss Army. The machine is also known as T-D, which stands for Tasten-Drücker Maschine (key-press machine). The machine is housed in its original 13˝ x 14.5˝ x 5.5˝ locking case.

The electro-mechanical wheel-based cipher machine features ten wheels: four electrical rotors with 26 contacts at each end, one electrical reflector with 26 pairwise cross connected contacts, and five drive wheels that control the stepping of the rotors and reflector.

The stepping mechanism is adjustable and irregular, making the machine much less predictable than its predecessor—and therefore far more difficult to crack.

This NEMA machine shows only minor signs of use, although the transit case exhibits substantial wear. It includes two keys to the metal case. The original external power cord and external lamp panel are stored inside the lid. Also includes a modern external battery pack and reprint of the operating instruction booklet.

During WWII, the Swiss Army used a modified version of the German-made commercial Enigma Model K machine. After the Swiss discovered that their Enigma K traffic was being read by both the Allied forces and the Germans, they started the development of their own improved machine, which they called NEMA, derived from “NEue MAschine [NEw MAchine].”

The NEMA cipher machine was developed between 1941 and 1943, and the first prototype was ready in early 1944. After a few modifications and improvements, the machine was finally approved in March 1945. Production started in 1946, with the first machines entering service in 1947. The NEMA was used by the Swiss Army in the years following WWII, and by the Swiss Diplomatic Service. The NEMA was officially declassified in 1992.Starting Bid $1000

Portable M-209 cipher machine, as used by American troops on the front lines in WWII

402. WWII American M-209-B Cipher Machine. Desirable World War II–era American M-209-B mechanical pin-and-lug cipher machine, measuring 7.25˝ x 5.25˝ x 3.5˝, identified on the plate on the top of the case: “Signal Corps, Converter M-209-B, 79306:CACH, 19449-PHILA-44-24.” Held inside the top of the case are the oiler, screwdriver, paper tape, and tweezers. Also includes the original olive drab canvas carrying bag, marked “M-209-B” on the front, with the front pocket containing a spare reel of paper tape, TM11-380 War Department Technical Manual, and Signal Corps Message Book M-210.

The M-209 is a portable hand-operated mechanical cipher machine initially developed in the late 1930s by the entrepreneur and inventor, Boris Hagelin. Hagelin fled Sweden for the United States at the outbreak of WWII and worked with the US Military to refine his cipher machine design. The M-209 was the result of this collaboration and the machine would be used by the US during WWII, as well as many other countries for decades after the end of the war. The relationship between Hagelin and the US goes much deeper than the collaborations during WWII: a February 2020 article in the Washington Post detailed the secret relationship Hagelin had with the CIA and German Intelligence services.

The Soviet Union’s Cold War answer to ‘Enigma’—a scarce Fialka cipher machine

407. Fialka M-125 Cipher Machine. Scarce original Cold War-era Russian M-125 cipher machine, codenamed ‘Fialka,’ in its case with separate original power supply. The machine’s case measures 11″ x 13″ x 9″, and is stenciled on the front with a serial number, “98-70297.” The suitcasestyle power supply box measures 10.5″ x 6″ x 7″, and is stenciled with the serial number “98-70270.”

The Fialka is an electromechanical, wheel-based codegenerating and decoding machine. Its development came after World War II, and was based loosely on the German Enigma machine, with rotors moving to a new position each time a key is pressed, creating a new electrical circuit and an alphabetic substitution for the letter that was pressed. However, the Fialka incorporates a number of different features from the Enigma that made it a much more daunting cipher-generating machine. These features include the use of 10 rotors (each with 30 contacts), wheels rotating in opposite directions, and more frequent wheel stepping. In addition, the rotors could be quickly rewired in the field, and input and output from the machine was accelerated via the use of punched paper tape, a spool of which is included. This example has ten rotors installed in the device’s drum, an additional set of ten spare rotors stored inside the lid (in their original canister), plus one single extra rotor. The installed wheel-set contains eight adjustable rotors (with black plastic center discs) originating from the PROTON-2 operating procedure, plus two earlier fixed rotors with brown

bakelite centers; the spares are all of the earlier, fixed type.

The wheels would be arranged on the rotor based on a daily key, as with the Enigma. The adjustable rotors in this wheel-set stem were introduced with the PROTON-2 operating procedure in 1978, which added greater complexity to the wheels—like the initial, fixed rotor set, each wheel has 30 electrical contacts on either side. These adjustable wheels additionally feature moveable letter index rings and interchangeable/rotating wiring cores, thereby increasing complexity and making encoded messages more difficult to decode.

Being regularly produced starting in 1956, the Fialka quickly became a primary cipher machine for all of the Warsaw Pact countries and Cuba. Each country had the Fialka keyboard modified to their language—this example has Cyrillic and Latin characters—and had specially wired rotors. The Fialka was in use by Russia and its allies well into the 1990s, and very little information was available about this machine until 2005 as it had been kept secret. Few Fialka machines remain as they were systematically destroyed by the Soviet Union and its successors as the machines were taken out of service.

Excessively rare handwritten letter in English—one of three known— by Napoleon Bonaparte, playfully criticizing his tutor’s work

415. Napoleon Rare Handwritten Letter in English to Emmanuel, comte de Las Cases (One of Three Known). Rare unsigned handwritten letter in English by Napoleon Bonaparte, one page, 6.5 x 8, March 6, 1816. Handwritten letter to French atlas-maker and author Emmanuel, comte de Las Cases, who accompanied Napoleon on his exile to Saint Helena, acting as his secretary there and tutoring him in English; Las Cases is famed for an admiring book about Napoleon, Le Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène (‘The Memorial of Saint Helena’). Napoleon pens a rare, playful letter in English, headed, “Sir Count Lascases.”

Anonymously poking fun at Las Cases’ celebrated atlas, Napoleon writes, in full (spelling and grammar retained): “j write you this letter for say to you that you had done a very good book. It is not however that is not somme fautes but you schal may corect them in the next edition: then schal you may sell you work five pound ever exemplary. upon that j pray god that he have you in his holy and worthy guard.” Napoleon writes from “Longwood,” the mansion on the island of Saint Helena where he resided while in exile. Addressed on the integral leaf in Napoleon’s hand: “Counte Lascases, Longwood, very urgent.” The letter is tipped into a bound folio, 10 x 13.75, with quarter-leather spine and marbled boards; also inside the volume are two letters by a descendant of Las Cases, and a photograph of a letter by Napoleon.

“You had done a very good book. It is not however that is not somme fautes but you schal may corect them in the next edition”

the Emperor, I hid to try to read it; it was in English: it said that I had done a very beautiful work; that he was not, however, free from faults; that if I wanted to correct them in a new edition, there is no doubt that the work would be much better; and with that, we prayed to God to have me in his worthy and holy guard. Such a letter, so unexpected and somewhat out of place, it seemed to me, aroused my surprise, a little my anger; the red color came to my face; it was to the point that I had not given myself the time to consider writing it. As I looked through it, I recognized the hand, despite the unusual beauty of the writing, and I couldn’t help but laugh a lot about it. But the Emperor, who saw me from the side, asked me from whom the letter that had been given to me was. I replied that it was a piece of writing that had left me with an initial feeling very different from the one it would leave me with. I said it so naturally, the mystification had been so complete, that he began to laugh until he cried. The letter was from him; the schoolboy had wanted to make fun of his master, and try his hand at his expense. I keep this letter carefully; the cheerfulness, the style and the circumstance make it more precious to me than any diploma that the Emperor could have given me at the time of his power.”

Accompanied by a hardcover edition of Le Mémorial de SainteHélène [Tome Premier] by Le Comte de Las Cases, published in Paris by Magen et Comon. In it, Las Cases makes reference to the present letter in his entry for March 7th (translated): “A moment before dinner, I went, as usual, to the living room; the Emperor played a game of chess there with the Grand Marshal. The valet on duty at the drawing room door came to bring me a letter; it said on it: very urgent. Out of respect for

This revolver was made in 1852 and has all matching numbers, including the cylinder, loading lever, wedge, and arbor. The metal retains 90-92% of a later, added blue finish on the cylinder and frame, while the barrel assembly has an overall plum-brown patina with fading along the high edges, and areas of pinprick pitting along both sides; some further pitting is present on the edge of the recoil shield on the left side, as well as some areas of gray fading on the cylinder. The walnut grip is in very good shape with a few minor handling marks in the excellent, reapplied varnish finish. The grip-straps retain about 60-70% of the original silver plate finish, with a pale yellow-ochre patina to the exposed, underlying brass on the balance. The backstrap is engraved in flowing script, “Col. A.J. Myer S.C.” (Signal Corps). The revolver is tight and the lock-up is good with the action functioning flawlessly. A small and attractive pre-war Colt, which has ties to one of the most important figures in the history of the US Army Signal Corps, and would make a splendid addition to any collection. Accompanied by a printed copy of Myers’s Medical Officer File (1851-1859) from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Starting Bid $300

Around the same time, in 1941, Rockefeller, as coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, asked Walt Disney to make a goodwill tour across South America, hoping the universal popularity of his characters would help diffuse anti-Axis sentiments in the region.

Check filled out by Marilyn Monroe in her breakthrough year

709. Marilyn Monroe Filled Out and Signed Check (1953). Sought-after Bank of America Laurel-Sunset Branch check, 6 x 2.5, filled out and signed by Monroe, “Marilyn Monroe,” payable to Southern Cal. Edison Co. for $4.86, May 7, 1953. In fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

A coveted example of a check filled out entirely in the hand of Marilyn Monroe during her rise to stardom. During this period, Monroe was living at the Doheny Drive apartment in Beverly Hills, where she resided for the majority of 1953 before marrying baseball legend Joe DiMaggio on January 14, 1954. The actress, who was already wildly popular at the time thanks to starring roles in both Niagara and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, lived in Unit #3 of the building, a one-bedroom, one-bathroom dwelling that measured a scant 648 square feet. Despite its size, Monroe must have enjoyed the apartment, because in April 1961, after her divorce from playwright Arthur Miller was finalized, the actress left New York and once again leased the very same unit in the very same building. She stayed there until March of 1962, at which point she moved into the Brentwood-area home she had purchased a few months prior, the same home in which she would sadly pass away on the night of August 4, 1962. Starting Bid $500

‘The

Last Sitting’ of Marilyn Monroe— stunning complete limited edition portfolio of Bert Stern’s historic 1962 photo shoot

710. Marilyn Monroe: Bert Stern Limited Edition Portfolio - ‘The Last Sitting’. Exceptionally rare limited edition ‘The Last Sitting’ portfolio containing a suite of 10 color glossy 20 x 24 photo prints of Marilyn Monroe from her photo shoot with photographer Bert Stern in late June 1962, just six weeks before she died. Each chromogenic print is signed in the lower border in black felt tip by Stern and features the edition number, 141/250, to the lower left corner. The prints are individually matted and housed in their original bright orange carrying case, 25.25 x 27.25, which also includes the portfolio’s

colophon (unnumbered) and ‘The Last Sitting’ image poster, which includes the titles: ‘Feeling Good,’ ‘Playful,’ ‘What’s It All About?,’ ‘Flirtatious,’ ‘Teasing,’ ‘I Beg of You,’ ‘Aroused,’ ‘Rhythm,’ ‘Here’s to You,’ and ‘Not Bad For 36.’ Produced in 1978 by Shorewood Atelier for Woodbine Books, Inc. In overall fine condition, with some scuffs and wear to the carrying case, and the upper handle snapped off but present. A highly sought-after portfolio that, given its small edition size, is rarely offered for public sale. Starting Bid $1000

Fantastic Superman portrait inscribed in Spanish by George Reeves to his “bottle buddy”

711. George Reeves Signed Photograph as Superman to his “Bottle Buddy”. Amazing vintage glossy 7 x 9 photo of George Reeves standing arms akimbo as Superman, signed and inscribed in fountain pen in Spanish, “A me querido amigo Roberto—siempre sus compache de la botella, Jorge Reeves [To my dear friend Roberto—always your bottle buddy, George Reeves].” Magnificently cloth-matted (slightly off-center to show the entire inscription) and framed with a biographical plaque and inset ‘Superman’ emblem to an overall size of 37 x 24. In fine condition. Reeves’ inscription is particularly interesting, given the circumstances of his death—a notoriously heavy drinker, his blood alcohol content was 0.27 on the night of his tragic and mysterious death.

John Williams’s revolutionary score for Jaws—which transformed a simple melody into a terrifying motif that became synonymous with impending danger—earned him the Academy Award for Best Original Dramatic Score. Director Steven Spielberg later said that without Williams’s score the film would have been only half as successful, and according to Williams it jump started his career. Starting Bid $200

Conditions of Sale

ANYONE EITHER REGISTERING TO BID OR PLACING A BID (“BIDDER”) ACCEPTS THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ENTERS INTO A LEGALLY, BINDING, ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT WITH R&R AUCTION COMPANY OF MASSACHUSETTS, LLC (“RR AUCTION”) TOGETHER WITH BIDDER, THE “PARTIES”).

This Agreement contains important provisions that control rights and liabilities, and specifically has provisions governing how disputes are handled as well as LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY that can be imposed upon RR Auction, WAIVER OF JURY and ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property on its website, and/or described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby.

Section 1

The Parties1.1 RR Auction and Auction

This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction. com Internet site. The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

1.2 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. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent or legal guardian’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 and

agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting

By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Section 2

Bidding Privileges

2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account 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. Privileges will be granted at the sole 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 a cash deposit 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.

2.2 Bidder providing any false or misleading information provided in connection with the registration shall be a material breach of the Conditions of Sale and in addition to any other remedies at law shall excuse RR Auction from performance under these Conditions of Sale, including the right to any refund.

2.2 Bidding privileges may be revoked without notice, for any reason, at the sole discretion of RR Auction .

Section 3

Buyer’s Premium

3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. . 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 earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate.

Section 4

Bidding

4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

4.2 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.

4.3 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.

4.4 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 and Bidder has fully satisfied any outstanding financial obligations to RR Auction (including as it concerns aby other lots). RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

4.5 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 upon the earlier of shipment to Bidder or in Bidder’s possession.

4.6 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 lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further 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 fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

4.7 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.

4.8 RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders.

Section 5

Bidding Options

5.1 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.

5.2 When identical 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.

5.3 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.

5.4 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.

Section 6 Payment

6.1 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 responsibility (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 sixty (60) 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.

6.2 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.

6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $1,000 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.

6.4 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.

6.5 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.

6.7 If RR Auction refers any unpaid invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay and shall be liable for RR Auction’s attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction in addition to the invoice amount and interest the greater of 1.5% per month or at the maximum legally allowable rate from date of invoice to collection. 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.

6.8 RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder (as well as to the extent it is a consignor any other monies owed or due to 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 Bid-

der’s property in their possession.

6.9 All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. RR Auction clients with an invoice totaling $1,000 or under will have the option to pay by VISA, Mastercard, Discover or Paypal. All Paypal payments must be sent to FinanceDepartment@rrauction.com. Authorize.net, a third-party service provider contracted by RR Auction for processing on-line payments, charges a nonrefundable service fee of 3%, which will be added to your final invoice should you pay by credit/debit card.

Section 8

Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges

Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. 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.

Section 9

Title

Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction 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.

Section 10 Rights Reserved

RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction,

cancel any bid, 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, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

Section 11

Conducting the Auction

11.1 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.

11.2 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 Auctions 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.

11.3 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. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve.

11.4 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.

11.5 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) 732-4280. 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).

11.6 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.

11.7 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.

11.8 Maximum Bids In 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.

11.9 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.

11.10 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.

11.11 Bidding in 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.

11.12 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.

During live internet or live auction, 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 or bids (successively or otherwise) 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. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

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.

11.13 Miscellaneous:

Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale 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.

11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.

Section 12

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 material breach or 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 Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to 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.

Section 13 Warranties

13.1 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, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

13.2 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.

13.3 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.

13.4 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 “AC”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The AC inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void.

Section 14 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.

Section 15

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 Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction 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.

Section 16

Bidder’s Remedies

16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, officers, managers, employees or agents), or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale, , and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. Time is of the essence with respect to these procedures.

16.3 Title to Items

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, satisfactory to 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 may 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 (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction by 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.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process

(1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then

the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

(2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Process, any claim, suit or action, by Bidder concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity, or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner:

(1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned 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 with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). 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 within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and

(2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID.

16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 17

RR Auction’s Additional Services

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 dam-

age 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.

Section 22

Glossary of Condition terms

Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction.

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows:

VERY FINE describes an item believed to be 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 we believe to 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 we believe 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 which we believe to have 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 believed to be exceedingly rare or important.

Bidder may call and request further details and information about RR Auction’s opinions concerning any item via phone or email which shall provided in RR Auction’s discretion.

Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired:

Bidder warrants that Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall not purposely deface, destroy, dismember, cut-up into parts the item or Lot purchased at auction from RR Auction and in the event such shall occur whether purposefully or accidently, Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall refrain from advertising, promoting, or marketing the item as having been purchased from RR Auction and shall in no event display, expressly claim, or imply that the item was certified or auctioned in such state by RR Auction. As liquidated damages for such breach, Bidder agrees to be liable to RR Auction for the greater of the amount of three (3) times the hammer price of the item along with all other fees and costs as otherwise provided in this Terms of Sale.
