New England’s Trusted Auction & Appraisal Professionals
SOLD: $24,000 This beautiful Russian Kovsh came to us on a Free Appraisal Day! A treasured heirloom, it had been in the family for nearly 100 years. The owner was “very impressed with the whole auction experience particularly the thought and care put into marketing and presenting items.” The sale exceeded the estimated value of $10k - $20k, and the Kovsh is now at its new home in Germany!

CONDITIONS of SALE
Please Note: Our Conditions of Sale have recently changed TERMS OF SALE: By registering to bid on any lot or any participation in an auction at Thomaston Place Auction Galleries (TPAG), you (the bidder or agent bidding on behalf of others, ref. par.13) agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale. CONDITION OF ITEMS & WARRANTY INFORMATION: Thomaston Place Auction Galleries (TPAG) makes every attempt to uphold the highest standards in the auction industry. Our goal is to consistently deliver the highest level of products and services to our customers. Our catalog descriptions represent what we have deemed appropriate to identify each object and we stand behind our descriptions as they relate to authenticity, however all items for sale are offered “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present, absentee, phone or online) to determine the exact condition of each item. Our warranty does come with parameters and it is the bidder’s responsibility to understand those parameters fully. Please take time to familiarize yourself with what is covered and make your bidding decisions accordingly. 1) All items are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility to inspect, research, and determine the authenticity of all items upon which bids are placed. Determination of age, materials, condition, quality, authenticity, classification, purported history and perceived value, regardless of what is written or said by TPAG, is the sole responsibility of the bidder/buyer. 2) TPAG nor it’s consignor(s) makes any expressed or implied guarantees, warranties or representations in regard to the property merchantability or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, medium or material, period, culture, source, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. 3) The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not in any way imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free of wear, imperfections or the effects of aging. 4) Condition Reports for items may be requested up to 48 hours prior to the date of the auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner however, we cannot guarantee that a request submitted within 48 hours will be answered prior to the auction date. Neither TPAG nor it’s consignor makes any guarantee or warranty with regards to these reports. It is the buyer’s responsibility to examine each item and make their own assessment prior to the auction. 5) All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, TPAG is not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of antiques and items. 6) Goods made from or containing materials from protected species - TPAG does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omissions in marketing or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such materials include, but are not limited to ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions and licensing on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale or the delay of payment of purchased items in accordance with these bidder Terms and Conditions of Sale. If you are not able to make what you consider to be a comfortable decision about an item or if you believe an item may be incorrectly described in our catalog, we suggest that you refrain from bidding on said item.

CONDITIONS of SALE RETURNS: 7) Items may be considered for return under very specific conditions and within 30 days after the auction. It is important that you pay for and acquire your item in a timely fashion. In the event we have made a significant attribution or disclosure of condition error such that there is a major effect on the value of an item, please contact us immediately (within 30 days after the auction.) We will review under the following circumstances: A. The item has been paid for and the buyer has possession of the item. B. The buyer must have the item reviewed by an independent party who is approved by TPAG, and is a recognized expert within the field of the item in question. C. The expert provides a written report with specific and detailed reasons as to why the item is not as it was represented to be. The written report must be submitted to TPAG. D. Our descriptions include what we deem to accurately portray an item’s general condition. However, opinions about condition can vary and as such, the auctioneer shall make the final determination in the possible event of a refund. E. The timeline for this process is 30 days from the date of the auction. In the event a committee or review board must convene to review the item, TPAG must be notified in order to extend the time beyond the 30 day limit. Otherwise, after 30 days, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. F. Once TPAG has accepted the ruling of the expert(s), the buyer is to return the item to TPAG at buyer’s expense. In order to be eligible for a refund, the item must be returned in the same condition it was in when it left TPAG’s possession. G. In the event a refund is issued, it will be for the cost of the item, buyer’s premium and any sales tax paid. The refund will be made in the same form as the payment of the original transaction. 8) No Chargeback Policy - Purchasers agree that disputes of any nature will not be resolved by a credit card chargeback and further agree to refrain from filing any chargeback claim against Thomaston Place Auction Galleries and/or its credit card merchant. By purchasing with us, the purchaser waives the right to initiate a chargeback and furthermore agrees to pay a minimum of $500 plus administrative fees, attorney fees, and/or any other charges associated with responding to said chargeback. 9) Jewelry, Timepieces, Stamps & Coins: All sales are final. There are no returns or refunds for any reason. Jewelry and items with mechanical parts such as clocks, timepieces, mechanical banks, music boxes, etc. are sold “as-is” on the day of sale and may require servicing. The lack of a condition report does not imply that the item or lot is free from imperfections, defects or wear and tear of aging. This includes but is not limited to deficient stones, needed repair or defects. GENERAL INFORMATION: 10) Bidder recognition: The auctioneer shall only accept bids from properly registered bidders who place bids live on the auction floor, by absentee bid, telephone bid, or online bid. The auctioneer shall acknowledge the top bidder as the winner. In the event of a disputed bid, the auctioneer will have sole and exclusive authority to resolve the dispute and determine the winning bidder. 11) The auctioneer has sole discretion and reserves the right to: A. Reject or refuse to accept any bid or bidder that may be deemed inappropriate for any reason. B. Pass/withdraw any items in the auction which do not open at a price commensurate with the items’ value. C. Open bidding and bid up to, but not exceed the reserve on behalf of the seller. 12) Anyone 18 years of age or older and of good creditworthiness (as determined by TPAG), may bid at this auction, including the auction staff. 13) Bidding on behalf of others: Unless you are registered as a buyer’s agent prior to the start of the auction and we have written authorization from your buyer naming you as his/her appointed bidder, you are responsible for all the purchases under the terms and conditions of this bidding agreement. 14) Buyer’s Premium on all items purchased in this auction: The buyer’s premium is 17% for live, absentee, and phone bidders. The buyer’s premium is 20% for all internet bidders. 15) Reserves: Some items in this auction may be offered subject to a reserve, which is a confidential, minimum price, below which the item cannot be sold. No reserve may exceed the pre-auction low estimate as stated in the item description. 16) Any dispute or litigation resulting from the sale of items in this auction will take place in the judicial system in the State of Maine. 4

We do not set shipping and packaging rates as they are established by the individual shippers. Buyers are free to choose whichever shippers they would like. All shipping arrangements and liabilities are made solely between buyer and shipper. 29) Buyers pay shippers directly. If either someone else other than the buyer, or a shipper other than one of the firms listed above, will be picking up your items, the buyer must inform us in advance so we may release the items. Items for shipment will not be released without an initialed release form or a verbal release. 30) Shipments will be insured for the full purchase price unless other coverage is requested by the buyer. Any damage or delivery issues (regardless of any assistance offered by TPAG) are between the buyer and their chosen shipper. 31) TPAG will not alter any catalog descriptions or declare less than the full purchase price on any international customs paperwork. All international customs documents and costs are the responsibility of the buyer. 32) All items must be picked up from our auction facility within 30 days of the sale unless prior arrangements have been made. For items unclaimed after 30 days: A. Items left at TPAG for more than 30 days will be subject to a storage fee of $50 per item, per month to be paid prior to collection of items. B. Items left at TPAG over 45 days after the date of sale may, at the sole discretion of TPAG, be re-sold on buyer’s behalf. The above costs of storage, plus any other costs directly related to the items and an auctioneer’s commission of 30% will be subtracted from the proceeds. C. Items unsold or unclaimed by 180 days from the date of this agreement will become the sole property of TPAG and may be sold or otherwise disposed of without reporting or liability of any sort to the buyer. 33) The inability to choose an acceptable shipping option is NOT a reason for non-payment of an item’s full purchase price. 34) Attention online bidders: Any items won during auction will not be available for pick-up until the first business day after the auction. Please call ahead! 35) Anyone planning to pick up property from TPAG, should call 24 hours in advance to make arrangements.

Day 4
4443 1833 ALS LETTER FROM FUTURE PRESIDENT JAMES BUCHANAN AS EMISSARY TO RUSSIA FOR ANDREW JACKSON, FROM ST PETERSBURG - St. Petersburg 3 March 1833 Dear Sir, An unexpected opportunity enables me to acknowledge the receipt of your kind & agreeable letter of the 23 November last but few days after its arrival. It had a most unfortunate passage as it did not reach me until the 28 ultimo although I ought to have received it by the first of January. This delay was occasioned by the unfortunate mistake of our Charge d affaires in Paris. 4443 I feel grateful to you for your kind wishes for my political promotion; though I am not disposed to have much faith in your predictions, which were evidently dictated by the feelings of friendship. Thank God! My happiness does not consist in the pursuits of ambition. The public favors which I have enjoyed have been unsolicited by myself, and I accepted the station I now occupy only after the re-iterated solicitations of General Jackson. If opportunities of serving my country in office should present themselves, I shall not decline them; if not I shall never seek them. I shall not Attempt to explain to you the causes, but I feel sensible I enjoy less popularity in my home native state than as many others throughout the Union. I shall never hold any office which depends upon a warm, decided & general movement in my favor of the party in Pennsylvania to which I belong. Still I beg you to believe that this is not the language of disappointment or chagrin. Far from it. I thank heaven I was born a Pennsylvanian, it is the only land on earth where I should choose to live, where I hope to die, but enough of this. No American can travel through Europe without becoming still more attached to his native land & those Institutions under which it has flourished. It is only with us that a man can feel from his birth that he is equal to his fellow man. It is perhaps true that no people in Europe are prepared for Republican Institutions. This is what their statesmen contend. But what a complement to us does this admission imply! In Russia, the great mass of the people are semi-barbarians & slaves wholly unfit for self-government. It is fortunate for them that they have such an Emperor as their present Sovereign; but the curse of despotism is that his son may be as great a tyrant as his father has been. Nicholas mingles freely with his people, is plain, yet dignified in his manners, possesses much energy & ability & is almost adored by his subjects. He receives full credit for all the good that is done; whilst all the evil is charged to the account of his ministers. His private character, as well as that of the Empress is without a single blemish & their example has already done much to reform the manners of a Court which but a few years ago was as dissolute as it was splendid. Such is the character of a sovereign at home, who is believed by many in our country to be a tyrant. That his proceedings towards Poland cannot be justified is certain, and that every liberal man throughout the world desired & ought to have desired the independence of that ancient & gallant nation is equally true: but yet it cannot be denied that the French & English Newspapers have given a false color to his conduct in regard to that country after the attempted revolution. You can have no conception of how bitterly the Russians hate the Poles & before the latter rose to establish their rights, the former were very jealous of the favors which they say had been bestowed by the Emperor on Poland at their expense. The last news from Constantinople renders it almost certain that peace will speedily be concluded between the Sultan and the Pasha of Egypt under the mediation of Russia. I have received much kindness among this strange and peculiar people. Indeed, I might almost say they have distinguished me in this respect. Still I feel that I shall not be truly happy until I again see my native country. The principal object of my mission has now been accomplished & I entertain the strongest hopes that I may be permitted to return home after spending two years in St. Petersburg from the time of my arrival & possibly sooner. I scarcely hear any news from Harrisburg & have no correspondent there. I should be glad if you would write to me occasionally. Please to remember me to the Governor & all my friends. I cannot pretend to enumerate them. Remember me kindly to your mother & believe me to be very sincerely your friend, James Buchanan. Henry Buehler, Esq. (Harrisburg, PA) PS. I write in great haste as I have much to write & but very little time to do it in. Water damaged, stained and separated on two pages, glued by portion to album page, fully legible. $2,000 - $3,000
