A SCARCE COMPLETE SET OF ASPEN MAGAZINE WITH ALL ITEMS AS ISSUED.

Beginning as a luxury lifestyle magazine focused on Aspen’s art and culture scene, Aspen Magazine quickly branched out to incorporate a wide range of artistic styles and movements. Contributors included Peter Blake, William S. Burroughs, John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Philip Glass, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, John Lennon, Sol LeWitt, Claes Oldenberg, Yoko Ono, Robert Rauschenberg, and Carolee Schneeman. Issues include a wide variety of objects laid-in, including “flexidiscs,” flipbooks, mazes, postcards, posters, recordings, reels of super-8 film, and other ephemera. Issue number 5/6 includes first publication in English of Roland Barthes “Death of the Author.” (For a list of materials and inserts, see UbuWeb, ubu.com/aspen/).

LIMITED EDITION, number 281 of 275 copies SIGNED BY LÉGER and the editor Louis Grosclaude on Papier Vélin Teinté of a total edition of 395. “Léger went even further with Les Illuminations than the final version indicates, designing a lively cover that was not used and at least two other illustrations. The omission of Léger’s cover, a hallmark of his books since the very beginning, put Les Illuminations into a conventional mold. The reason was that the editor was aiming at an audience of bibliophiles, and the classic typography, also at variance with Léger’s normal bent, reflected this aim as well. But these conditions do not diminish the effect of Léger’s fifteen illustrations” (Saphire). Saphire 24-38.

LIMITED EDITION, number 131 of 350 copies on Montgolfier d’Annonay of a total edition of 420 copies. Jean Hugo, a member of the French Surrealist movement of the 1920s, “was a part of the revolution in theater, poetry, music and dance after World War I” (John Andrew Frey). Cocteau’s Roméo et Juliette, which debuted at the Soirees de Paris du Comte Etienne de Beaumont at the Theater de la Cigale in Paris on June 2, 1924, was not strictly a ballet, was the first of of his “textes-prétextes,” a form of play which he hoped would save the French theater.  “Hugo designed a set [for Cocteau’s play] whose hangings and floor would be of black cloth with colored linear decorations, and for the actors black tights and black velvet dresses, doublets and short hose, painted with ‘embroidery’ that would be picked out by lighting… [Cocteau recalled that the] ‘Red lights framing the stage kept the audience from seeing anything else” (Steegmuller p.328).

[BIBLE, in English]. Matthew’s Version. [The Byble]. [London]: Nicolas Hyl for John Wyghte, 1551.

Folio (295 x 191 mm). 3 section titles printed within historiated woodcut borders. (Lacking 13 leaves: pi1, a6, *1-5, lacking v4 [blank], 2 2A1; a few leaves fraying or with tears affecting text, some browning, a few leaves trimmed close affecting headlines, catchwords, and shoulder notes). Later diced calf gilt (rebacked preserving original spine, joints starting, some wear). Provenance: a few 16th-century markings on final leaf; Thomas Crewdson of Kendal (letterpress bookplate); James Wilson (signature dated 1729); bookplate.

The so-called “Matthew Bible,” known for its translation of Psalms 91:5 (“Afraid of bugs by night,” using “bugs” instead of “terror”), and Jeremiah 8:22 (“Is there no treacle in Gilead,” using “treacle” instead of “balm”). “The original Matthew’s Bible of 1537 was made up partly from Tyndale’s and partly from Cloverdale’s translation.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, with 5 errata on 6 lines in Vol. I, and 9 errata on 7 lines in Vol. II. The book’s slow progress towards publication was due not only to its size but the author’s ill health. “About half of the eight years that elapsed between its commencement and completion were spent on it. The book did not escape adverse criticism: it was said, for instance, that the public had been patiently waiting for Mr. Darwin’s justificatives, and that after eight years of expectation all they got was a mass of detail about pigeons, rabbits and silkworms. But the true critics welcomed it as an expansion with unrivalled wealth of illustration of a section of the Origin” (The Autobiography of Charles Darwin and Selected Letters, F.

134 DICKENS, Charles (1812-1870). Oliver Twist; or, the Parish Boy’s Progress. By “Boz.” London: Richard Bentley, 1838.

3 volumes, 8vo (185 x 113 mm). 24 etched plates (including frontispieces to each volume) after George Cruikshank. (Lacking half-titles and all advertisements, some soiling and creasing, a few short tears to text and plates with occasional repairs, one plate with small portion of blank corner torn away.) 20th century brown leather gilt, stamped in black, top edges gilt, others uncut; together in slipcase.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE OF THE FIRST ENGLISH NOVEL TO FEATURE A YOUNG CHILD AS A PROTAGONIST, with “Boz” on the title-page and the “Fireside” plate and nearly all early issue points listed in Smith. When Bentley decided to publish Oliver Twist in book format before completing its completion in Bentley’s Miscellany magazine, Cruikshank had to rush to complete the illustrated plates. Dickens did not review the plates until the eve of publication, and he objected to the “Fireside” plate (present here) which depicted Oliver at Rose Maylie’s knee with Harry and Mrs. Maylie gathered around the living room fire. Cruikshank revised the illustration, using the same title (“Rose Maylie and Oliver”), to show Rose and Oliver standing before Oliver’s mother’s church memorial. The altered plate was used in later issues of Oliver Twist in book form, as well as in the conclusion of the periodical run. Eckel, p.51-[57]; Gimbel A27; Smith I:4.

This Boston edition is therefore considered the first authorized edition of Dodgson’s work printed in America.

FEYNMAN, Richard P. (1918-1988). Typed letter signed (“R. P. Feynman”), to Mr. Jay Rothstein. Pasadena, California, 5 December 1966.

1 page, 4to, on California Institute of Technology stationery, creased and with staple-holes upper left corner, slight toning.

Feynman responds to Jay Rothstein’s invitation to attend the Feynman Lecture Series at his alma mater, Far Rockaway High School, in Far Rockaway New York. He sends his regrets that he cannot attend, and remarks on the subject of the lecture, which “seems fine -- there need be no reason to limit it to physical science.” He continues: “all the sciences are related and are as interesting as one another because they are descriptions of nature. The main problem to keep in view when struggling to get speakers is not so much the subject matter, but the scientific quality of the speaker. A good man interested in his work, and not a quack trying to sound important is what you need.”

Feynman spoke at his alma mater, Far Rockaway High School, in January of 1965, at which point the school passed a resolution calling for a series of lectures in the social and natural sciences to honor Feynman and his work.  [With:] A small archive of material relating to the 1966-1967 lecture series, including a poster advertising a lecture on Dinosaurs, a typed letter signed to Rothstein from the chairs of the Feynman Lecture Series Committee, a 3-page carbon copy of the Committee’s introduction to one of the 1967 lectures, various newspaper clippings from the school’s newspaper about the lectures, 4 black and white photographs of lecturers from the 1966-1967 series, and 3 tickets the lectures in that series.

Second edition of Fielding’s masterpiece, which was rushed to publication in 1749. The first edition of the same year contains a number of errors due to both compositor and author error. The work was immediately revised after the publication of the first edition, and the errors are addressed in subsequent editions which also omit the errata leaf (present in this copy). According to early bibliographer Frederick S. Dickson, the second edition was likely begun while the sixth volume of the first edition went to press in February 1749.

Facsimile printing of Nasir al-Din Tusi’s 13th-century commentary on Euclid’s elements.

The first lithographic press in Morocco was created in 1865 in Meknes and was transferred to Fes, presumably in the same year. The use of lithography allowed maghribi script to be used in North Africa and to retain its character against the saskh script which was more widely used in that region.

‘IN THE MEANTIME QUIBIAN BEHELD WITH SECRET INDIGNATION THESE STRANGERS INTENDING THEMSELVES IN HIS DOMINIONS”

A fine Irving fragment describing Columbus’s planned departure from Santa Maria de Belén and Quibían’s response. The Columbian expedition reached Quibían’s domains in 1503, and Columbus decided to found a settlement near the mouth of the river. A flood had made travel up the river for exploration possible, but by the time Columbus was ready to leave, the water “had subsided to such a degree that there was not above half a fathom of water on the bar....[Columbus] was obliged therefore to wait until the rains should again swell the river.” In the meantime, Quibían grew suspicious of the Columbus brothers, whos friendship Columbus had tried to secure with “various presents but in vain. The cacique...sent messengers around and ordered all his fighting men to assemble at his residence under a pretext of making war upon a neighboring province.”  Ultimately, Quibían defeated the Spanish. RARE: Only two other fragment’s from Irving’s Life of Columbus have appeared at auction in the last 45 years.

Martin’s illustrations for Milton’s Paradise Lost, produced ca 18241827, were first published by Septimus Prowett in 1827.  These slightly reworked plates were publised in Charles Tilt’s edition of Milton’s work in 1833.  Of the Prowett edition, a writer for The Literary Gazette remarked: “We know no artist, whose genius so perfectly fitted him being the illustrator of the mighty Milton; and in what we have seen of his conceptions he has more than realised the highest of our hopes. There is a wildness, a grandeur, and a mystery about his designs which are indescribably fine... the painter is also a poet...we look upon these engravings to belong to the foremost order of true genius: beyond this there is no praise.” [The Literary Gazette, April 2nd 1825].

NEVIN, Ethelbert (1862-1901). Autograph musical manuscript, titled “Every Night.” Signed below title (“Ethelbert Nevin”), and inscribed by Nevin’s wife, Anne Paul Nevin.

2 pages, 4to, on a single sheet of 12-stave printed music paper, slightly toned, matted and framed Comprising 18 measures representing treble, alto, and bass clefs. With the tempo marking “Allegretto” and with a few additional annotations in pencil.

Nevin’s Op. 20 A Book of Songs was published in 1893, and “Every Night” (sometimes alternatively “Ev’ry Night”), was the third of 10 songs in the collection.  Nevin sets to music Robert Louis Stevenson’s poem “System,” which was first published in A Child’s Garden of Verses in 1885.  The lyrics, in full: “Every night my prayers I say | And learn my lessons every day; | And every day that I am good, | I have an orange after food. | The boy that is not clean and neat, | With lots of toys and things to eat, | He is a naughty boy , I’m sure -- | Or else his dear papa is poor.” The lyrics differ slightly from Stevenson’s poem, most notably in the second line which reads “And eat my dinner every day” in the second line.

Inscribed verso by Ethelbert Nevin’s wife, Anne Paul Nevin, to Colonel and Mrs. Schoonmaker. Col. Schoonmaker, presumably James Martinus Schoonmaker, was commissioned Colonel of the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry in 1862, and in 1864, he was again promoted to command the First Brigade, First Cavalry Division of the Army of the Shenandoah, a position he retained through the end of the war.  Schoonmaker and Nevin both hailed from the Pittsburgh area.

EARLY POE PERIODICAL APPEARANCES, INCLUDING A REVIEW OF AL AARAAF, TAMERLANE, AND MINOR POEMS

Poe’s self-published Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827) attracted no attention; he reprinted the poem in his second book Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems in 1829. In that edition, he dedicated the poem to John Neal, the editor and publisher of The Yankee and Boston Literary Gazette.  In the December 1829 issue, Neal printed a positive review under the heading “Unpublished poetry,” and included long extracts of “Tamerlane,” “Al Aaraaff,” and “To Ann” from Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems. The book was published shortly after in December 1829.

The September issue “contains the first reference to Poe in print and was the first encouragement he received as a poet” (Heartman and Canny). In that issue, Neal reprinted parts of Poe’s “Fairyland,” attributed to “E. A. P. of Baltimore,” remarking:  “If E.A.P. of Baltimore...would but do himself justice, might make a beautiful and perhaps a magnificent poem. There is a good deal here to justify such a hope” (p.168).

WASHINGTON, George (1732-1799). Autograph letter signed (“G.Washington”) to Battaile Muse. Mount Vernon, 28 July 1785.

3 pages, 4to, on a bifolium, some minor mostly marginal chipping touching a few letters, a few discreet repairs, some show-through, docketed verso; in a custom slipcase Provenance: John Gribbel (sold his sale, Parke-Bernet, 30 October-1 November 1940, lot 775.

Washington writes his land agent, Battaile Muse (1750-1803), regarding land he owned in Frederick County. By Washington’s own admission, rents were in arrears and his knowledge about the status of his tenants was poor.

Washington had purchased the land in Frederick County from the sale of Colonel George Mercer’s estate in 1774. Mercer served under Washington during the French and Indian War, and became Washington’s aide-de-camp in 1775. Battaile Muse was the son of Colonel George Muse, who served with Washington in the Virginia Regiment in protecting Virginia claims against French and Native forces, culminating in the Ft. Necessity Campaign. The younger Muse was a planters’ agent in Berkeley County Virginia (present-day Jefferson County West Virginia), and Washington enlisted him as agent for his land in Berkeley, Frederick, Fauquier and Loudoun Counties in 1784.

Volume VII only (of 8, lacking vols. I-VI and VIII), 8vo (202 x 124 mm). Half-title. (Some minor spotting or browning.) Contemporary sprinkled calf gilt (rebacked preserving original spine, a few other repairs); custom slipcase. Provenance: Sold Charles Hamilton Galleries New York, 6 May 1971, Lot 5. “A new edition.”

JOHN ADAMS’ COPY SIGNED ON THE TITLE-PAGE, with an additional marginal annotation (“Nolle?”) presumably in Adams’ hand on p.177.

Adams’ published writings and correspondence include numerous references to Hume’s works, indicating that he read Hume carefully. In his Thoughts on Government (1776), Adams wrote: “Americans in this age are too enlightened out of their liberties, even by such mighty names as Locke, Milton, Turgot, or Hume; they know that popular elections of one essential branch of the legislature, frequently repeated, are the only possible means of forming a free constitution...Upon this principle, they cannot approve the plan of Mr. Hume, in his ‹Idea of a Perfect Commonwealth’.”

In a letter of 15 July 1813 to Thomas Jefferson, Adams wrote: “ The English Commonwealth, the Fate of Charles 1st. and the military despotism of Cromwell had Sickened Mankind with disquisitions on Government to Such a degree, that there was Scarcely a Man in Europe who had looked into the Subject. David Hume had made himself So fashionable with the Aid of the Court and Clergy, Atheist as they call’d him, and by his elegant Lies against the Republicans and gaudy daubings of the Courtiers, that he had nearly laughed into contempt Rapin Sydney and even Lock.” In the present copy, the marginal annotation presumably in Adams’ hand refers to a paragraph about Cromwell.

Taylor writes to Secretary of War J. H. Eaton (1790-1856)  as Lieutenant Colonel in the U. S. Army at Fort Snelling “near the falls of St. Anthony” on the Upper Mississippi Taylor recommending J[ohn] C[raighead] Culbertson as Sutler.

Culbertson, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1791, fought in the War of 1812.  Taylor provides a detailed history of Culbertson’s service, describing his involvement on the Niagara frontier “in most of the hard fought battles in that quarter,” and describing how he was wounded at the Battle of Bridgewater. After he was wounded, Culbertson “continued to serve with reputation in the peace establishment.”  Taylor mentions Culbertson’s service in Baton Rouge, Council Bluffs and the Yellowstone.  On the news that Culbertson’s post was to be broken up and “the troops removed to Prairie du Chien” Taylor concludes: “I hope Capt. Culbertson will be given the Sutling of the post occupied by the greatest number of companies of the 1st Infy., by complying with which request, [Eaton] will confer not only a particular obligation on me by the officers generally at that post.”

Taylor, who served as President from March 1849 until his death in July 1850, was a Major general whose reputation as “Old Rough and Ready” was a result of his Seminole War and Mexican-American War victories which won him election to the White House.

On 2 March 1861, the Morrill Tariff was adopted increasing the import tariff in the United States.  The tariff appealed to industrialists as a way to foster rapid industrial growth, and increased rates encouraged domestic industry addressed the growing federal deficit. It brought forth a period of continuous protectionism in the United States that would last until the adoption of the Revenue Act of 1913.

When Fillmore served as a member of the U. S. House of Representatives, he was active in framing the protective Tariff of 1842 as chairman of Committee on Ways and Means. A protectionist tariff schedule, the Tariff of 1842 was repealed in 1846 and replaced by the Walker Tariff.

A contemporary bilingual copy of the ratification of interpretations to Article 12 of the original Treaty of the 26th of July 1851 between the United States and the Republic of Peru. 7 May 1858.

23 pages on 12 leaves, 343 x 255mm. Text in English and Spanish. Ruled in red throughout. Written in a secretarial hand in dark brown ink. (Upper lefthand corner of sheets torn away with some minor loss to some text, with previously bound edge a little rough from stitching, etc. [apparently removed from a bound volume], some soiling); slipcased.

In 1841 the United States made claims against Peru as they seized American ships in neutral waters, especially whalers. By 1850 relations with Peru improved and were considered a friendly port resulting in the Treaty of 1851. This document summarizes the results of a convention held to clarify the interpretation of Article 12 of the original Treaty of 1851 between the United States and the Republic of Peru concerning duty free commerce for the whaling ships of the United States in the ports of entry of Peru. It includes four articles of clarification with regard to barter or sale restrictions and exemptions for whaling ships at various levels.

The concluding article states: “The stipulations in this Convention shall have the same force and effect as of inserted, word for word, in the Treaty concluded in Lima on the 26th of July 1851, and of which they shall be deemed and considered as explanatory. For which purpose, the present Convention shall be approved and ratified by the President of the United States of America, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof… done at Lima the fourth day of July [1857].”

With scribal signatures and seals of  J. Randolph Clay and Manuel Ortiz de Zevallos. The final two pages (in English) confirming the ratification by the Senate on 30 April 1858, and concluding with President’s order of the seal to be and affixed [not affixed on this copy] followed by his signature.

An interesting document offering a detailed perspective on international affairs as it relates to whaling and restrictive commerce in the mid-1800s.

Vol. V only. 8vo (239 x 138mm). (Some discoloration to endpapers, slight spotting to title-page). Contemporary sheep (rebacked, repairs to corners); slipcase.

JAMES BUCHANAN’S COPY, SIGNED on the title-page (“James Buchanan”).

Born in 1791 near Mercersburg, Pennsylvania and educated at Dickinson College, Buchanan studied law and passed the bar in Lancaster, which would be his home for the rest of his life. Establishing a very successful legal practice, he soon became involved in politics.  After serving briefly in the military during the War of 1812, he served two years in the Pennsylvania legislature after his election in 1814.

Elected five times to the United States House of Representatives, Buchanan was a gifted debater and well versed in the law. After an interlude as minister to Russia, he served for a decade in the United States Senate. He became President Polk’s secretary of state and President Pierce’s minister to Great Britain.  Buchanan made three unsuccessful bids for the presidency, but in 1856, his absence from the country during the turmoil over the Kansas-Nebraska Act and his reputation as a compromiser made him a more acceptable Democratic candidate than either Franklin Pierce or Stephen A. Douglas.

8vo (169 x 114mm). (Occasional soiling or minor discoloration from adhesives, etc.). Contemporary morocco gilt, with owner’s name lettered on upper cover (“R. C. Scanland”). Provenance: Robert C. Scanland (see below).

INCLUDING THE SIGNATURES OF THREE PRESIDENTS, comprising: ABRAHAM LINCOLN (“A. Lincoln”), ULYSSES S. GRANT (“U. S. Grant / Maj: Gen. / U.S.A. / Cairo, 1863”), and JAMES A. GARFIELD (“J. A. Garfield / Hiram, Ohio”). Also includes signatures by John G. Nicolay (on same page as Lincoln signature), Brigadier Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte Buford, Schuyler Colfax, Major Gen. Napoleon J. T. Dana, James M. Tuttle, John M. Palmer, Chauncey Lawson Higbee, and numerous others, many from the Illinois area (Pittsfield,  Cairo, Alton, Hiram, etc.).

Robert Caldwell Scanland (1825-1895) was an old acquaintance of Lincoln’s during his years as a lawyer in Springfield, and according to an article clipped from The Peoria Journal, Feb. 18, 1896 (included with this lot) the signature (along with Hay’s) was obtained during a visit with his son to the White House in 1862. Another highlight is the signature of Ulysses S. Grant who adds “Maj. Gen. U.S.A. / Cairo, 1863”. Beneath, in another hand, likely Scanland’s, the provenance of where and when the signature was obtained: “on board Steamer ‘City of Alton’ enroute for Vicksburg”. The first page of the book contains a mounted carte-de-visite albumen portrait of Scanland, inscribed and signed on mount below, dated May 1863. Also includes some other Scanland family signatures, and pieces of ephemera including a clipped poem from a newspaper in tribute to Lincoln and a ribbon from the re-union of the 21st Illinois Volunteers.

Interestingly, in preparation of Lincoln’s arrival in Pittsfield while campaigning for Senate against Stephen Douglas in October 1, 1858, Robert Caldwell Scanland and Charles Roger Lame were practice firing a campaign cannon, which was a tradition of the day, which led to an unfortunate mishap which resulted with Lame’s face being burned and his arm badly mangled by the ramrod.

8vo. 4 unbound folded sheets, with title-page tipped to first leaf. (First and last pages soiled with some pale stains, some marginal fraying.)

ANDREW JOHNSON’S COPY, with his numerous pencil signatures and other notations throughout.

After the expiration of his presidential term, Johnson ran unsuccessfully for the Senate in 1869 and for the House in 1872 before being reelected to the Senate in 1874. While out of office, Johnson remained active in steering reconstruction past both former confederates and radical Republicans, so there is little wonder that he owned and read a speech on the Civil Rights Bill by the Vice President of Confederate States of America. Johnson has signed the title-page in full seven times and the recto of the first page of text three times. In addition, the final page is signed “Johnson” seven times and the title-page “Andrew” twice. The title-page also has a few unconnected autograph words and phrases (“Cotton is Passion”; “wool wool”) and the final page a bit of ciphering. An interesting association item, linking two of the most important Southern politicians-one a Unionist, the other a secessionist-of the Civil War era. A VERY FINE ASSOCIATION COPY.

HAYES, Rutherford B. (1822-1893). Message to the House of Representatives, Vetoing the Bill entitled “An Act to Restrict the Immigration of Chinese to the United States.” March 1, 1879. [Washington, 1879].

8vo. (Ink on inscription slightly bled.) Modern cloth-backed boards, with original printed wrappers bound in; slipcase.

INSCRIBED BY RUTHERFORD B. HAYES at head of front wrapper in purple ink: “With Compliments / RB Hayes.”

In 1879, advocates of immigration restriction succeeded in introducing and passing legislation in Congress to limit the number of Chinese arriving to fifteen per ship or vessel. Republican President Rutherford B. Hayes vetoed the bill because it violated U.S. treaty agreements with China. Nevertheless, it was still an important victory for advocates of exclusion. Democrats, led by supporters in the West, advocated for all-out exclusion of Chinese immigrants. Although Republicans were largely sympathetic to western concerns, they were committed to a platform of free immigration. In order to placate the western states without offending China, President Hayes sought a revision of the Burlingame-Seward Treaty in which China agreed to limit immigration to the United States. In 1880, the Hayes Administration appointed U.S. diplomat James G. Angell to negotiate a new treaty with China. The resulting Angell Treaty permitted the United States to restrict, but not completely prohibit, Chinese immigration. In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which, per the terms of the Angell Treaty, suspended the immigration of Chinese laborers (skilled or unskilled) for a period of 10 years. The Act also required every Chinese person traveling in or out of the country to carry a certificate identifying his or her status as a laborer, scholar, diplomat, or merchant. The 1882 Act was the first in American history to place broad restrictions on immigration.

Garfield’s library consisted of about 2,500 volumes, and this book contains his bookplate (cropped slightly) from his home, “Lawnfield” in Mentor, Ohio. The inscription likely dates from Garfield’s career as a schoolteacher from 1856-57. The final digit in the inscription is illegible (thumbed), but based on the subject of the work and the popular style in which it was written, it may have been used for his instructional purposes.

One page, 504 x 483mm, on lined ledger sheet, ruled in red, docketed on verso. (Reinforced along horizontal centerfold causing slight loss to some letters, a little toning at folds and edges); slipcase.

The document comprises an abstract of stores issued by by Arthur’s department to various New York regiments and forces in the field, including pails, brooms, handcuffs, shackles and straw issued over the period from July to December in 1862. The recipients include Corcoran’s Irish Brigade, the 1st New York Volunteer Sharpshooters, the 1st New York Volunteer Mounted Rifles, and numerous others. The docket on verso reads: “Abstract ‘K’ of Issues of Quartermasters Stores by Brigr. Genl. Chester A. Arthur. Quartermaster Genl., State of New York. From July 10th 1862 to December 31st 1862.”

As  a young New York City lawyer Chester A. Arthur had become involved in Republican Party politics and joined the New York militia before the Civil War. After war was declared, Arthur was commissioned as a Brigadier General and Assistant Quartermaster General of the New York militia, and was responsible for feeding, sheltering, and provisioning thousands of Union troops passing through New York City on their war to battlefronts. It required a mastery of logistics, finances, and record-keeping which Arthur excelled in. He was promoted to Inspector General of the New York militia just a month later, in February 1862, and to Quartermaster General of the New York militia in July 1862. In addition to ensuring the quality of barracks, food, and equipment, Arthur was also involved in recruitment. His term ended in January 1863, after the election of Democrat Party candidates. Arthur would serve as Vice President of the United States from March through September 1881, and as President between September 1881 and March 1885.

Early sales of the monthly parts were lower than those of previous works, so Dickens changed the plot to send the title character to the United States. Dickens had visited America in 1842 in part as a failed attempt to get the American publishers to honor international copyright laws. He satirized the country as a place filled with self-promoting hucksters, eager to sell land sight unseen. In later editions, and in his second visit 24 years later to a much-changed US, he made clear it was satire and not a balanced image of the nation in a speech and then included that speech in all future editions. This volume was issued as part of T. B. Peterson’s Uniform Edition of Charles Dickens’ Works (see Gimbel D25).

The White House released edited transcripts of secret conversations recorded in the Oval Office following the indictment of the “Watergate Seven” in March 1974.

Nixon resigned on T.V. effective noon 8/9/74. Vice Pres. Ford will be sworn in at this time.” Then on 9 August 1974: “Pres. Nixon, Mrs. Nixon, Mr. & Mrs. Cox left White House by ‘helo’.”

1 page, 4to, on White House stationery, matted and framed (unexamined out of frame).

“A FULL, FREE AND ABSOLUTE PARDON UNTO RICHARD NIXON”

Nixon and his family, according to Ford, were caught “in an American tragedy in which we have all played a part. It could go on and on and on, or someone must write an end to it. I have concluded that only I could do that, and if I can I must.” Allegations hanging “like a sword over or former President’s head” were threatening his health. In a criminal trial, “ugly passions would again be aroused. And our people would again be polarized in their opinions. And the credibility of our free institutions would again be challenged at home and abroad.” Ford was criticized for the pardon, and critics wondered if a corrupt bargain had been struck, although no evidence substantiates that charge; in sworn Congressional testimony, Ford said he took the unpopular act for the reasons he gave the public in this message.

Included are entries for George Custer and his brother Thomas W. Custer, with the remark: “Killed 25 June ‘76.” An annotation next to George Custer’s name in red ink in an unidentified hand identifies him as Lieutenant Colonel of the Cavalry (“Lt. Col. of Cav.”).

Throughout are entries for every United States officer of the period who served in the MexicanAmerican war, the Civil War, and the Indian Wars. Union officers from the Civil War include Ulysses S.

Lee, George Pickett, James Longstreet, Jefferson Davis, and Pierre Gustave Beauregard. Future Presidents Zachary Taylor and John Tyler are listed for their service in the Mexican-American War.

KHRUSHCHEV, Nikita Sergeyevich (1894-1971).

Typed document signed, in Russian Cyrillic, apparently dealing with discuss companies and commodities in Voroshilovgrad, now Luhansk in modern day eastern Ukraine. [ca 1947].

3 pages, 301 x 206mm. (Some minor marginal chips, filing punch-holes in left margin.) Slipcase. Provenance: Ron Hoskins Collection.

SIGNED BY KHRUSHCHEV as Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Countersigned by Lazar Kaganovich, as Secretary of the Central Committee of the KPU (Communist Party of Ukraine).

Khrushchev, then in his role as Chairman of the Board of Ministers of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, signed as “N. Khrushchev” in green ink at lower left. Kaganovich, serving as Secretary of the Central Committee of the KPU (Communist Party of Ukraine) has signed in purple ink as “L. Kaganovich” at lower right. The typed sheets show scattered pencil and pen notations, apparently clerical.

The untranslated document appears to discuss companies and commodities in Voroshilovgrad, now Luhansk in modern day eastern Ukraine. The city of Voroshilovgrad was known as such between 1935-1958 and 1970-1990. The first of these time periods coincides with the date “8.10.47” (October 8, 1947) docketed on the bottom of the third page. The year “1947” also appears within the body of the text on the second page.

In early 1947, Khrushchev lobbied Stalin in person for food aid for Ukraine and eventually received it, at a cost; Stalin was so irritated by Khrushchev’s “mischief-making” that the premier temporarily removed Khrushchev from the secretaryship and replaced him with Lazar Kaganovich, the cosigner of this document. Yet Khrushchev was sufficiently restored in Stalin’s graces to be restored to his office by December 1947. This political rehabilitation was no small feat when one considers the toxic political environment. Khrushchev himself had participated in Stalin’s purges (arrests, exile, and executions) while managing Ukraine.

Lazar Kaganovich was Khrushchev’s old mentor from the earliest days of the Russian Revolution. The two had met as early as 1917, and Khrushchev had served as Kaganovich’s second-in-command in Ukraine in the 1920s. An interesting document signed by two of the most important Soviet leaders, the future premier of the Soviet Union and Kaganovich (1893-1991), one of Josef Stalin’s closest advisers.

8vo. Text in English. Original pictorial wrappers (small marginal tear and chip on rear wrapper, minor soiling and rubbing); slipcase.

SIGNED BY KHRUSHCHEV on title-page. The 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was held from 17 to 31 October 1961. In fourteen days of sessions, the more than 4000 delegates, in addition to delegates from 83 foreign Communist parties, listened to Khrushchev and others review policy issues. At the Congress, the Sino-Soviet split hardened, especially due to Soviet de-Stalinization efforts. It was the last Congress to be attended by the Chinese Communist Party. The Congress elected the 22nd Central Committee. The core of the Party program was a promise of the millennium: Russia would catch up and overtake the United States standard of living over the next decade or two. The complete transition from socialism to fully fledged communism would be accomplished.  Property from the Patrick Atkinson Collection, Minneapolis, Minnesota $500 - 700

“THE STRONG MAN IS THE MAN WHO CAN STAND UP FOR HIS RIGHTS AND NOT HIT BACK…”

FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, with the publisher’s code H-H on copyright page.

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY KING WITH HIS NONVIOLENCE CREDO on front free endpaper: “The strong man is the man who can stand up for his rights and not hit back. With Best Wishes / Martin L. King Jr.”.  The quotation comes from his address given to the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) Mass Meeting at Holt Street Baptist Church on November 14, 1956, following the MIA’s failure to receive a temporary restraining order to prevent the city of Montgomery from interfering with the car pool system which enabled blacks to participate in the Montgomery bus boycott. Anticipating the imminent desegregation of city buses, King asks everyone to remain nonviolent during the first challenging days. Echoing Gandhi, he tells them that “I’m not asking you to be a coward. ...You can be courageous and yet nonviolent.”  A SUPERB INSCRIPTION: ENCAPSULATING KING’S PHILOSOPHY AND ADVOCACY FOR NONVIOLENCE.

THE MARQUIS DE MORÈS’S COPY, SIGNED (“Mores”) on front wrapper in pencil, and with his annotations in pencil throughout.

Antoine-Amédée-Marie-Vincent Manca Amat de Vallombrosa, Marquis de Morès et de Montemaggiore, commonly known as the Marquis de Morès, was a French duelist, frontier ranchman in the Badlands of Dakota Territory during the final years of the American Old West era, a railroad pioneer in Vietnam, and a politician in his native France. He resigned from the French cavalry in 1882 and married Medora von Hoffman, sometimes called the Marquise. Soon thereafter, he would move to the North Dakota badlands to begin ranching, purchasing 44,500 acres for that purpose. He also opened a stagecoach business. He tried to revolutionize the ranching industry by shipping refrigerated meat to Chicago by railroad, thus bypassing the Chicago stockyards. He built a meat-packing plant for this purpose in Medora, the town he founded in 1883 and named for his wife. He became famous in the West as a rancher and gunslinger, getting arrested for murder a few times, but was always acquitted. Known as an adventurer, he was quick to anger and was engaged in numerous duels throughout his life; he notoriously sent Theodore Roosevelt what the latter interpreted as a challenge to a duel. Following his business failure, he left Dakota Territory and returned to France. He was commissioned by the French army to build a proposed railroad in Vietnam, from the Chinese frontier to the Gulf of Tonkin, and arrived in Asia to lead railroad construction in the fall of 1888. Later, the Marquis went on an expedition to Africa. He had gotten involved in political disputes and made some bitter enemies. While he was in Africa, he was murdered. With a Felix Potin celebrity trade card depicting the Marquis de Morès laid in. ACCORDING TO  ONLINE RECORDS, WE FIND NO MATERIAL SIGNED BY THE MARQUIS DE MORÈS.

506 RUBY, Jack (1911-1967).  Autograph manuscript signed (in the third person) written from his jail cell while incarcerated for the murder of Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, [n.d., ca 1966].

14 pp, 12mo, 154 x 101mm. Written in pencil on rectos only of hand-numbered sheets. (A few minor marginal chips, some tiny pinholes on upper lefthand corners.) Slipcase.  Provenance: Earl Ruby, Jack Ruby’s brother (accompanying affidavit copy, see below); Anthony V. Pugliese III (purchased from Earl Ruby, 21 December 1992, according to affidavit).

An autobiographical account by the Dallas night-club owner, written while incarcerated awaiting a new trial for the nationally televised murder of Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. The text begins: “Here are the facts about Jack Ruby!!…” and goes on to tell about his early jobs and his first visit to Dallas, the building of his sister’s nightclub near the Ambassador Hotel, hiring a band leader, moving back to Chicago, and returning to Dallas to take over his sister’s club. According to the a copy of the notarized statement by Jack’s brother Earl Ruby on 22 December 1992, this is an “autographed, unpublished manuscript written by my brother Jack Ruby from Jail at my request after Jack was convicted of murder and sentenced to death…” According to to his brother’s affidavit “the manuscript was to be used by Jack’s lawyers if a new trial was granted to establish his character as not being capable of pre-meditated murder and that his act on November 24, 1964 was spontaneous and born of anguish and grief. A new trial was granted, but Jack died before the new trial could commence”.

On March 14, 1964, Ruby was convicted of murder with malice and was sentenced to death. Ruby’s conviction was overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on the grounds that “an oral confession of premeditation made while in police custody” should have been ruled inadmissible, because it violated a Texas criminal statute. The court also ruled that the venue should have been changed to a Texas county other than the one in which the high-profile crime had been committed. Ruby died technically unconvicted, because his original conviction was overturned and his retrial was pending at the time of his death.

SANTA ANNA, Antonio López de (1794-1876). Manuscript document signed (“Ant. López Santa Anna”), as President of Mexico, countersigned by José María Tornel, Senior Minister of the War and Navy, 10 March 1842.

12 pages, on three bifolia, on Ministerio de Guerra y Marina stationery, stab-sewn in outer margin.

An official notice outlining rules in 28 parts to the military office of invalids, created in 12 January. Rules and regulations are established regarding operations and hospital accounting, particularly with regard to persons in hospitals who are disappearing.

Antonio López de Santa Anna exerted his strong influence on Mexican politics and government in the first half of the 19th-century, a time often referred to as the “Age of Santa Anna.” He served non-consecutive presidential terms over a 22-year period, interspersed with the continued pursuit of his military career. In the fall of 1841, Santa Anna returned to the presidency for a sixth time, a position he would hold until the turbulent election of 1842. José María Tornel (1795-1853) was prominent among the “santanista,” a group of politicians who helped Santa Anna return to power frequently, despite defeats in the 1836 Texas Revolution and later in the Mexican-American War.

[STALIN, Joseph (1878-1953), his copy].  Session of the Academy of Science USSR - Dedicated to the Anniversary of the Brilliant Work of J. V. Stalin “Marxism and Linguistics Issues” [in Russian]. Moscow, 1951.

8vo. Photographic frontispiece portrait of Stalin. Original gilt-lettered cloth (lettering a little dulled); slipcase.

STALIN’S COPY, SIGNED ON THE TITLE-PAGE AND WITH A COUPLE OF MARGINAL ANNOTATIONS in his hand in blue pencil. With his library stamp “J. V. Stalin” on title-page and lower margin of first page of the main text. Stalin was an avid reader, and at the time of his death, it is estimated his personal library ran to approximately 25,000 books, pamphlets and periodicals. Roughly 11,000 were classics of Russian and world literature by authors like Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Hugo and Shakespeare. The remainder were nonfiction titles in Marxism, history, economics and other fields. Lenin was by far the most represented author, at nearly 250 publications. Stalin had his own ex-libris stamp and classification system. The centerpiece of his Moscow residence was its library, although he preferred to store his collection off-site and have an assistant bring him reading material upon request.

According to Roberts, scholars have preserved about 400 volumes that contain Stalin’s pometki— markings, notes and marginalia. BOOKS FROM STALIN’S LIBRARY ARE RARE AT AUCTION, ESPECIALLY SO SIGNED BY HIM. See Geoffrey Roberts, Stalin’s Library: A Dictator and His Books, New Haven, 2022.

A military land grant issuing 400 acres northwest of the Ohio River between the little Miami and Sciota Rivers to Robert Jouitt (1756-1796), who served as Lieutenant, “in consideration of military service...to the United States, in the Virginia line on Continental Establishment, and in pursuance of an Act of the Congress of the United States.” Jouitt fought at the Battles of Monmouth and Brandywine, and was a Valley Forge under Washington, and was ultimately promoted to Captain. The Virginia Military District comprised a nearly four-million-acre tract of land in the southwestern part of Ohio. State officials used land grants to reward veterans for their military service in lieu of payment. In order to promote recruitment, Washington offered tracts of land in exchange for three or more years of service to the Continental Army during the war.

Engraving with hand-coloring, 364 x 241 mm, with captions in French and Dutch in two columns lower margin, hinged to mount, matted and framed, some minor browning ,a few captions in pencil and one old crayon mark lower margin.

RARE REVOLUTIONARY WAR-ERA SATIRICAL ENGRAVING

Referencing the thread to British commerce posed by the avarice of England’s neighbors and controversial conduct of Richard and William Howe as commanders of the British land and sea forces in America.  A cow, representing the commerce of Great Britain, stands at the shore while an American saws off her horns. A Dutchman milks the cow while a Frenchman and Spaniard wait for their share of the milk. The British lion sleeps in the foreground while a small dog befouls him.  In the background, Lord Howe’s ship has run ashore at Philadelphia, and the Howe brothers are depicted in a drunken stupor at a table, representing the hollow victory of the capture of Philadelphia. An Englishman, wringing his hands in despair, watches the scene unaware of how to help.

We trace copies of this engraving in the Colonial Williamsburg collection, and at the John Carter Brown library; the present copy has captions which conform to the Williamsburg copy, while the captions of the John Carter Brown copy differ slightly.

BATES, Katharine Lee. Autograph manuscript signed (Katharine Lee Bates”), a fair copy of the full four verses of “America the Beautiful.” N.p., n.d.

1 page, 4to, 32 lines in 4 stanzas, on her personal stationery, matted and framed (unexamined out of frame) Provenance: Corinne Waldo (Bates’s friend, with signed note from Waldo’s granddaughter).

“O BEAUTIFUL FOR SPACIOUS SKIES, FOR AMBER WAVES OF GRAIN”

A fine copy of all four stanzas of the 1911 version of “America the Beautiful.” Bates was inspired to pen her patriotic hymn by a visit to Pike’s Peak. Bates was living in Colorado where she was teaching English at Colorado College. She would explain, “One day some of the other teachers and I decided to go on a trip to 14,000-foot Pikes Peak. We hired a prairie wagon. Near the top we had to leave the wagon and go the rest of the way on mules. I was very tired. But when I saw the view, I felt great joy. All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse.” She returned to her room at the Antlers hotel, and wrote a few stanzas in her notebook.

The poem, which she originally entitled “Pikes Peak,” was first published with the title “America” in The Congregationalist to commemorate the fourth of July in 1893, and was amended in 1904 and again in 1911. In addition to her visit to Pike›s Peak, Bates was inspired by what she saw when she traveled from Massachusetts to Colorado: the World›s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and the wheat fields of the heartland in Kansas. Her poem was set to at least 75 different melodies, but it was Samuel A. Ward›s hymn tune which was generally considered the best setting as early as 1910. The song, often considered to be America›s «second national anthem,» is as easily recognizable as «the Star-Spangled Banner,» and several unsuccessful attempts have been made to give «America the Beautiful» legal status as a national hymn or anthem. The original manuscript is held by the Falmouth Historical Society.

Chicago-area gangsters in the Prohibition era had close ties to Wisconsin – in addition to being an important avenue for bringing bootlegged liquor to Chicago and the Midwest, it was a refuge where they could escape for rest. “They love[d] to vacation in the Wisconsin Northwoods… The hoods of the Depression era enjoyed escaping to and from Wisconsin when the situation demanded… Enjoying gangster holidays of sorts in the Northwoods during the summers from 1925 to 1931 was ‘Scarface’ Al Capone whose refuge, ‘The Hideout,’ is in Couderay, Wis., 50 miles southwest of Manitowish Waters” (Chicago Tribune, “Northwoods’ Gangsters of Old: From Fishing Holes to Bullet Holes,” 2 March 1987).

William and Lowrene Sell, owners of Sell Improvement Company, a realty and insurance company, also owned and operated Sell’s Resort in Manitowish Waters from the 1920s to 1950s, where, in the early 1920s, Al Capone and his associates were regular guests. According to family lore, Capone was adored by those who knew him, and Lowrene would allow him to take over her kitchen to make his famous gravy. The Sells and Capone developed an intimate friendship over the years, as evidenced by correspondence retained by the family. Taking the Sells into his confidence, Capone maintained a correspondence with them over the years, asking for advice on finding bootleggers and real estate in the Northwoods, and even writing his friend two days after the 1925 assassination attempt to let them know he’s alright. The family kept the correspondence and related items for several generations, but offer it for sale now for the first time.

“I WANT YOU TO FIND THAT BOOTLEGGER...TELL HIM I WANT HIM TO COME RIGHT AWAY TO CHICAGO”

In 1923, Chicago voters elected reformer William Dever as mayor after 8 years under corrupt William Hale “Big Bill” Thompson, who was closely aligned with Johnny Torrio.  Torrio decided he needed a second base of operations, and chose Cicero, a town just outside of Chicago city limits.  Incumbent mayor of Cicero, Joseph Z. Klenha, facing a strong challenger in Democrat Rudolph Hurt during his reelection campaign, turned to Torrio; in return for securing his reelection, Torrio’s gang would be granted immunity from the law in Cicero.

The Chicago Outfit secured a favorable result for Mayor Klenha in the April 1 municipal elections, relying on brute force, and Capone and his men, including his brothers Frank and Ralph, roamed the streets.  Chicago police officers, responding to an appeal to try to restore law and order, arrived at 22nd Street and Cicero Avenue, in the shadow of the Hawthorne Works facility of the Western Electric Company, and Al’s brother Frank Capone opened fire. The squad returned fire, killing Frank Capone, but Al Capone was uncaptured.

On April 2, the Chicago Tribune ran the headline “GUNMAN SLAIN IN VOTE RIOTS” reporting that the Cicero election had been “marked by shootings, stabbings, kidnappings, and other outlawry unsurpassed in any previous Cook County political contest.” Capone established his Cicero headquarters at the Hawthorne Inn (now demolished), located 4833 W. 22nd Street, just west of the intersection of 22nd Street and Cicero Avenue.  In the aftermath, Cicero would remain the headquarters of the Outfit until after Capone was sent to prison in 1931 for tax evasion.

Cicero solidified as the new headquarters of The Chicago Outfit, Capone wrote to his friend Bill Sells: “Just a few lines to let you know that I am feeling fine... ‘Wall Bill’ I want you to find that Bootlegger that sold me the Wine and Wiskey [sic] went [sic] I was there and tell him to that I want him to come right away to Chicago because I have a big order for him, tell him to come over to 2242 Cicero Ave, Cicero, that is just a few miles outside of Chicago and when he gets there to ask for Fred Pope in case I am not there.” He includes a postscript instructing Bill to write him using Fred Pope’s name at 2242 Cicero Avenue, which was located just a half a block from the Hawthorne Inn; it was likely the location of the Hy-Ho Club, a popular haunt for John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson. Capone signs the letter using his most common alias when doing business for the Outfit, “Al Brown”; he admitted at his 1931 trial that some people called him Al Brown, but that “wasn’t his name.”

CAPONE LETTERS ARE EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE: According to online records, only 4 Al Capone letters have sold at auction in at least the last 50 years, none of which was written during Prohibition or his years with the Chicago Outfit.

DAYS AFTER AN ATTEMPT ON HIS LIFE, CAPONE WRITES: “NO DOUBT YOU WILL BE SUPPRISED [sic] TO HEAR FROM ME. WELL PAL, THINGS HAVE BEEN SO DARN EXCITING”

On January 12, 1925, North Side Gang members Hymie Weiss, Bugs Moran, and Vincent Drucci, attempted to kill Al Capone at a South Side, Chicago restaurant. They fired at Capone’s car, missing Capone, but injuring his chauffeur.

The ambush left him shaken but unhurt.  Twelve days later, on January 24, Weiss, Moran, Drucci, and Frank Gusenberg ambushed Chicago Outfit leader Johnny Torrio, shooting him and his chauffeur, Robert Barton, several times, but as Moran was about to kill Torrio, his gun misfired. After Torrio recovered, he resigned, naming Al Capone the leader of The Chicago Outfit. He moved to Italy with his wife and mother, and on giving Capone control of the criminal empire, which grossed some $70 million per year, he told him: “It’s all yours, Al. Me? I’m quitting. It’s Europe for me.”

Following the attempt on his life, Capone writes a quick note to Bill Sells (who he calls “Friend Sells”) to let him know he’s alright: “No doubt you will be supprised [sic] to hear from me. Well Pal things have been so darn exciting that I haven’t even had time to change clothes. Well Sells old boy how are you doing and how is the Mrs and your dear little Slugger are you going to make a champion out of him if you are I’ll be his manager. And tell him I have got a big rocking horse so write me and let me know how the best way to ship it. Well Pal have no more to say only give my best of wishes to your dear wife and all of your brothers try and make a trip later.

CAPONE WRITES HIS FRIEND SEEKING REAL ESTATE IN WISCONSIN: “LET ME KNOW OF SOMETHING...WITH PLENTY OF WATER, SOMETHING OUT OF THE WAY”

In May 1929, while driving to Chicago from Atlantic City, Capone stopped in Philadelphia where he was arrested in front of a movie theater for carrying a concealed, unlicensed .38 caliber revolver. Wanting to make an example of him, the Philadelphia courts sentenced him to the maximum sentence, one year, of which he served 9 months.

While serving his sentence, Capone writes to his friend in Wisconsin to see if he can help him buy some land: “ No doubt you are surprised to hear from me, because the old saying, Out of sight, Out of mind…Say Bill I am writing to you in regards to that big house that was being built on that Island of the property belonging to the Trostel people from Milwaukee...they also own a lot of land aroung [sic] that island. Please let me know if it is for Sale. If not, let me know of something else within two hundred or a thousand acres, with plenty of water, something out of the way.”

Sells responds to Capone’s letter: “We certainly were glad as well surprised to hear from you we have often talked about and thought of the good times we hadwhen [sic] you were up here in the woods. time [sic] sure passes by very quickly, just think Al it is five years since I saw you...As regards the Trostel property it is not for sale and could not be bought for any price. But I am enclosing a plat of a tract of land [not present] containing 2010 acres, taking in three lakes entirely...This spot is really at the trails end and the wildest country left in the North, and still it is only eleven miles from Mercer, there is a tote road running to an old set of lumber camps between Oak and Forest lakes, an ideal location good drinking water, good shore lines... I can get this entire tract for you at a price as low as $30.00 per acre which is a real buy.”

In the 1920s and ‘30s, Capone and other members of the mob sought property in Wisconsin, where it was easier to receive bootlegged alcohol from Canada by seaplane, which could then be easily transported by car into Illinois and elsewhere. Al Capone’s brother Ralph purchased a home in Wisconsin in the 1930s, and later managed a hotel (The Rex Hotel) and tavern (Billy’s Bar) in Mercer, Wisconsin.  Al Capone’s supposed residence in Couderay, Wisconsin, “The Hideout,” was located on some 400 acres with frontage on a 40-acre lake; it was reportedly surrounded by 18-inch stone walls, and included guard towers along the lake where he would receive whisky deliveries from Canada.

564 [CAPONE, Alphonse (“Al”) (1899-1947)]. Colt New Army & Navy Revolver Model of 1896.

.41 LC. 6” barrel length. SN: 75042. Double-action swing-out cylinder revolver with topstrap notch and front blade sights. Item displays a blued metal finish with polished hammer and trigger. Black hard rubber grips displaying “{Rampant Colt}” logos mounted to square butt frame without lanyard loop.

The same logo within a circle is stamped to the rear left frame. Barrel marks include “DA 41” caliber marking to left barrel and the two-line patent and address mark to top reading, “COLT’S PT. F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A./PATENTED AUG. 5. 1884 NOV 6. 88. MAR. 5. 95,”. Assembly number “862” stamped to the cylinder area with rear of cylinder marked “15” beneath the star extractor. Serial number indicates item manufactured in 1896.

A .41 COLT REPORTEDLY USED BY AL CAPONE

“You can get more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word” (Al Capone).

Al Capone’s friendship with Bill and Lowrene Sell developed during his vacations to Sell’s Resort in Manitowish Waters in the 1920s.  According to family history and stories from Bill and Lowrene, Capone brought a .41 Colt with him during one visit, and gave it to Bill to hold on to in case he should need it. As evidenced by the letters in the family’s collection, the Sells developed a close relationship with Capone: Bill Sells tried to help Capone find real estate in the Northwoods, and apparently introduced Capone to a bootlegger. For several years, Capone spent a great deal of leisure time at the Sells resort.

Accompanying the gun are several modern reprints of photographs also from negatives in the family’s collection showing Capone, his associates, and a female companion, fooling around at the Sell’s resort with what appears to be a .41 Colt.  The gun remained in a safe with other Capone material at the Sell’s Resort in Manitowish Waters for several decades, and has been in the family since.

Provenance: Al Capone, by repute, given to Bill and Lowrene Sell; to present owner.

565 [CAPONE, Alphonse (“Al”)] -- [NESS, Eliot (19031957)]. Partial draft typescript detailing Eliot Ness’s recollections of his time with “The Untouchables” as dictated to his secretary Miss Janet E. Boyd (1935-), [1956].

11 typed pages with holograph emendations in a secretarial hand, light toning and a few small tears, staple holes in upper left corner Provenance:  Janet E. Boyd, by descent to present owner.

PERHAPS THE EARLIEST VERSION OF ELIOT NESS’S RECOLLECTIONS WHICH LATER FORMED THE BASIS OF OSCAR FRALEY’S THE UNTOUCHABLES

The Eliot Ness Papers held in Cleveland’s Western Reserve Historical Society contain a 21pp typescript detailing Ness’s career in Chicago which is similar to the partial typescript offered here though not an exact copy. The WRHS copy appears to be a revised, later version.

In late 1955, Miss Janet E. Boyd of Parma, Ohio, responded to an ad in the Cleveland Plain Dealer seeking an applicant for a position with The Fidelity Check Corporation and Guaranty Paper Corporation. After initial employment with the CEO of the company, she soon assumed the role of secretary to Eliot Ness who was brought on to serve as president of the subsidiary corporations. According to Boyd’s oral history (oral history included in the lot), she accompanied Ness on his earliest business trips to and from Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C. Predominantly traveling via train, Ness “came up with the idea of dictating to me on the train...the story of when he was with the government....”

Taking shorthand while riding in the dining car, Boyd would then return to their office and type Ness’s recollections for his later review. After several months, Ness relocated to Coudersport, Pennsylvania, where he would embark on a collaboration with reporter Oscar Fraley, providing Fraley with a typescript of his recollections upon which the writer would base his 1957 best-selling book The Untouchables. He died of a heart attack in May 1957, just before publication of the book that would immortalize his image as the incorruptible crimefighter who helped topple Al Capone and his crime syndicate.

8vo (214 x 123 mm). (Some browning and spotting). Contemporary half morocco gilt (some light rubbing and wear). Provenance: Dr. Edward Livingston (engraved bookplate, see below).

FIRST EDITION of Clark’s work, which published for the first time the text of documents demonstrating that the leader of America’s army was a secret Spanish agent. One of Wilkinson’s New Orleans associates, “Clark... broke with Wilkinson, with whom he had been intimate, and in this book gives much evidence of the General’s treachery” (Streeter Sale III:1694). Wilkinson was Burr’s co-conspirator in the so-called “Burr Conspiracy,” Burr’s attempt to detach the Western states and the Louisiana territory from the Union.

Edward Livingston acted simultaneously as U. S. Attorney for New York and the mayor of New York City from 1801-1803. He moved to New Orleans in 1804, and was falsely accused of abetting Aaron Burr in the Burr Conspiracy.  He no sooner cleared himself of the charges before he was brought into controversy alongside President Jefferson over land rights in New Orleans.  Livingston later organized the people of Louisiana in their resistance to the British invasion of 1814, and served as Andrew Jackson’s aide-de-camp in the Battle of New Orleans.  A FINE ASSOCIATION COPY.  Howes C-431; Sabin 13265.

FIRST EDITION OF A WORK WHICH “HAD A GREATER INFLUENCE IN ATTRACTING ITS READERS TO AMERICA THAN ANY OTHER BOOK OF THE PERIOD” (Vail). The maps provide the first detailed descriptions of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. “The author was a native of Normandy, of noble birth, and came to the British Colonies at the age of sixteen. Having established himself on a farm near the frontier, he became one of the first victims of the War of Independence, the Indian allies of Great Britain setting fire and destroying his property. He wrote his letters during the different epochs of the war, in English. Returning to France, he translated them into French” (Sabin 17496).

INSCRIBED BY CLARENCE DARROW TO HIS CLIENT, NATHAN LEOPOLD, JR.: “To Nathan Leopold Jr. from a friend. ‘God help you.’

Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb, wealthy University of Chicago students, were charged with the kidnapping and murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks. They believed that their superior intellect would allow them to commit the “perfect crime” without consequences; the murder was characterized at the time as the “crime of the century.”

They retained the counsel of renowned criminal defense attorney Clarence Darrow, whose 12-hour summation at their sentencing hearing was notable for its criticism of capital punishment as retributive, rather than transformative, justice.  Darrow’s conclusion of the hearing is considered to be the finest speech of his career. Ultimately, Leopold and Loeb were sentenced to life in prison plus 99 years. The New Testament is market with printed underlinings of passages of redemption. A SUPERB ASSOCIATION COPY.

FRANKLIN, Benjamin (1706-1790). Autograph note signed (“B Franklin”), to Col. Nathaniel Sparhawk. Philadelphia, 15 June 1748.

1 page, 8vo, creased with minor separations and tiny losses along folds, matted and framed Provenance: Tobias Ham Miller; by descent to Helen Pearson; acquired from her estate by Joseph W. P. Frost.

In full: “I receiv’d yours per Mr. Baynton with the Money as therein specified; and have since deliver’d it to Mr. Warren (who is now here) with Mr. Pepperill’s Letter; of which please advise Mr. Pepperill. I am Sir, Your most humble Servant.” Franklin writes Nathaniel Sparhawk (17151776), merchant at Portsmouth and Boston and son-in-law of Sir William Pepperell, regarding funds to be sent to Louisbourg on behalf of the Province of Pennsylvania, of which Franklin is the Treasurer. “Baynton” is likely Philadelphia merchant John Baynton (1726-1773), and “Mr. Pepperill” is likely Andrew Pepperrell, business partner of his father Sir William.  According to the Papers of Benjamin Franklin, “Warren” has not been identified, but a typescript note by a previous owner of the document identifies him as Admiral Sir Peter Warren, first governor of Louisbourg under English command.

According to the previous owner’s account, Tobias Ham Miller had this note attached to the first printing press in New Hampshire, which had been bought by Fowle from James Franklin, Benjamin Franklin’s brother. That press was apparently the press on which Franklin received his printing apprenticeship, and the letter was obtained by Miller from the Sparhawk or Pepperrell mansion while he was minister of the Congregational Church at Kittery Point ca 1838.

8vo (217 x 138 mm). (Some browning, a few short tears, lacking L4, blank.) Disbound; remnants of old backstrip, original sewing holes present.

FIRST EDITION, the issue with the pagination in signature H correctly imposed.  By the elections of 1792, two distinct political parties were starting to emerge: the pro-administration Federalist Party, who retained control of the Senate, and the anti-administration Democratic-Republican Party, who took control of the House.  The previous year, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison had attempted to remove Hamilton from office for alleged misuse of foreign loans, and emboldened by their victory, Republican lawmakers continued their investigation into Alexander Hamilton’s alleged corrupt conduct as Secretary of the Treasury.  “On February 24, the House assembled a select committee with sweeping powers to investigate the Treasury Department. ...The bulk of the committee was Republican. The members drew up an exhausting schedule to drain any energy Hamilton had left [following his recent bout with yellow fever]. Until their work was complete, they planned to meet every Tuesday and Thursday evening and Saturday morning. For three months, the committee stuck to this punitive schedule, and Hamilton testified at about half the sessions. ...He had to disclose all of his private accounts with the Bank of the United States and the Bank of New York, as Republicans tried to prove that Hamilton had exploited his office to extort credits from the two banks” (Chernow, Alexander Hamilton). Ultimately, Hamilton was exonerated of all of the allegations.  Evans 27909; Ford Bibliotheca Hamiltoniana p.45 (“This examination was made at the request of Hamilton, in order to silence the charges of misappropriation and mismanagement of the public funds”); Sabin 69800.

Webster charges that Hamilton has succumbed to “the secret enmity which has long rankled in his breast,” citing as examples situations which are “mostly of a private and trifling nature.” Webster charges Hamilton that his “policy and your conduct have been the principal causes of the division among Federal men.” Evans 39045; Sabin 102361; Skeel-Carpenter 727.

It is to accommodate that class that we have decided to issue two special volumes...covering the fifty kinds of American woods with the U. S. Census returns report to have been most largely manufactured into lumber during the period of one year -- 1912” (Preface to Commercial Woods Part I, p.i.). Volume I includes examples of hard wood, such as ash, beech, birch, cherry, chestnut, elm, maple, oak and walnut; volume II includes examples of soft woods, such as cedar, cypress, fir, pine, redwood and spruce.

[MANHATTAN PROJECT]. An extensive archive including original laboratory notebooks, typed laboratory reports and drafts, and typed communications relating to the research activities in Princeton’s Frick Laboratories of the Princeton Analytical Group under the direction of Professor Nathaniel H. Furman for the Manhattan Project, ca 1942-1946.

The Manhattan Project, organized under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves, grew to employ more than 130,000 at a cost of nearly two billion dollars, and had project sites at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Los Alamos, New Mexico, Chicago, and Hanaford, Washington, with research taking place at a network of institutions across the United States and Canada. Organized under the “Madison Square Area” of the “Manhattan District, Corps of Engineers,” researchers at the Frick Laboratories in Princeton’s Department of Chemistry, under the direction of Professor Nathaniel H. Furman (1892-1965), worked to identify uranium in ores and to purify and measure trace contaminants in uranium concentrates, apparently to work toward discovering uranium deposits in the United States.

Included in the archive are:

Carbon copy typescript. A letter from the War Department, signed (in facsimile) by Under secretary of War Robert P. Patterson (“Robert P. Patterson”), 7 August 1945, “To the Men and Women of Manhattan District Project.” 1 page, 8vo, marginal chipping “TODAY THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THE SECRET WHICH YOU HAVE HELPED US KEEP FOR MANY MONTHS.” Written one day after the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Patterson comments: “I am pleased to be able to add that the warlords of Japan now know its effects better even than we ourselves...No one of you has worked on the entire project or known the whole story. Each of you has done his own job and keep his own secret, and so today I speak for a grateful nation when I say congratulations and thank you all.”

Western Union Telegram, to Dr. Furman, 10 August 1945. “SURRENDER OF JAPAN APPEARS IMMINENT.” Instructions from the Madison Square Area, Manhattan Project, instructing “Cessation of hostilities does not repeal nor affect our program and our work should continue as scheduled. Continue present security measures.” Surrender would be announced by Emperor Hirohito 5 days later on 15 August 1945.

Furman’s manuscript ledger recording sample data from various locations including MIT, U. S. Engineers, Westinghouse and DuPont. Entries note the type and amount of the sample, as well as dates received and reported. With 4 additional ledgers kept by Furman, ca December 1942 through February 1946, recording samples, with two ledgers labeled “Special Defense Note Book.”

WITH: 4 of Nathaniel H. Furman’s notebooks.  Each including handwritten data from several of the project’s other sites, including Ames, Iowa, Du Pont, Hooker Electro Metal Company, Linde Air Products Company, Harshaw Chemical, Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, and U. S. Engineers. -- Three composition notebooks of student calculations and data from Bruce McDuffie and Roy J. Mundy -- Two dissertations, comprising: N. N. Furman, W. B. Mason, and J. S. Pekola. “The Use of Cupferron in the Estimation of Uranium.” June 1946. 65 pages, carbon copy typescript. A portion of the paper contributed by William Burkett Mason constituted his Doctoral dissertation. In board portfolio.; Another copy.; Clark E. Bricker. An Electrolytic-Polarographic Method. 1944. 47 pages, carbon copy typescript. Loose in folder. -- A notebook belonging to W. B. Mason including handwritten data relating to cupferron and uranium. -- 10 “spring” binders containing carbon typescript copies of papers and presentations prepared by the Princeton Analytical Group.

Many of the reports and typescripts are marked “confidential,” “classified,” or “secret,” but were declassified on May 18, 1954. The Seely G. Mudd Library at Princeton University holds a collection of papers and other materials relating to Frick Laboratory’s role in the Manhattan Project; the present archive was acquired by a previous owner in the 1970s during preparations for work to be done in the Frick Laboratories. The archive comprises some two linear feet, and more complete listings and information are available on request.

To facilitate sales, the Shakers packaged seeds in small packets or sold them by weight and measure for wholesale use. The packets, however, which were an Enfield Shaker innovation, defined the garden-seed business and are still used today” (connecticuthistory.org).  Envelope labeling includes planting instructions, and occasionally includes information for cooking preparation methods (for example, describing the early cluster cucumber as “one of the very best varieties for family use, both for pickles and the table”).

SMITH, Samuel Francis (1808-1895). Autograph manuscript signed (“S. Fr. Smith”), a fair copy of the full five verses of “America” (“My country ‘tis of thee...”). N.p., 31 January 1893.

2 pages on a bifolium, 8vo, 28 lines in 4 stanzas, center fold reinforced verso, a few tiny stains, tipped to mat; cloth folding case.

THE FULL FIVE VERSES OF “AMERICA”

The poem begins with the familiar “My country , ‘tis of thee, / Sweet land of Liberty, / Of thee I sing...” and concludes: “Our fathers’ God, to Thee, / Author of liberty, / To thee we sing; Long may our Land be bright / With freedom’s holy light. / Protect us Thy might, / Great God, our King.” Beneath, Smith notes “Written Feb. 1832.” Smith describes the composition and publication of the poem in a clipping laid in, recalling: “[I] instantly felt the impulse to write a patriotic hymn of my own...Seizing a scrap of waste paper, I put upon it, within half an hour, the verses substantially as they stand to-day. I did not propose to write a national hymn. I did not know that I had done so.” After sending “America” accidentally among other poems to a colleague in February 1832, he recalls “To my surprise, I found later that he had incorporated it into a programme for the celebration of July 4, 1832, in Park Street Church, Boston.” In 1932, “America” became the national hymn of the United States.

FIRST EDITION of Stedman’s work, “generally considered the best contemporary account… written from the British side” of the American Revolutionary War (Sabin).

He was captured and set to be hanged as a rebel two times but escaped each time. The present account covers all major military engagements of the war as well as many individual battles accompanied by accurate maps and plans, which are “the finest collection of plans assembled by an eyewitness” (Revolutionary Hundred 89).

FIRST EDITION of Vancouver’s voyage, “one of the most important ever made in the interests of geographical knowledge” (Hill).

After serving on Cook’s second and third voyages, Vancouver was made commander of a grand-scale expedition to establish Britain’s territorial rights in the Pacific North West following the Nootka Convention at Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island in 1790. His orders were also to examine thoroughly the coast south of 60° in order to find a possible passage to the Atlantic. Over the course of three seasons, he surveyed the coast of California (visiting San Francisco and San Diego), met with the Spanish at Nootka, discovered the Strait of Georgia, circumnavigated Vancouver island, and proved that no passage existed between the Pacific and Hudson’s Bay. He died in 1798, and his narrative was completed by his brother and by Peter Puget. Hill notes that Vancouver undertook his surveys “with a thoroughness rarely equalled in the history of maritime exploration...completing the most arduous survey that it had fallen any navigator to undertake.” Forbes 298; Hill 1753; Howes V-23c; Lada-Mocarski 55; Sabin 98443; Streeter sale 3487.

SPIRINX, Nicolas (fl. 1606-1643). [Celestial Globe Gore] -[Terrestrial Globe Gore]. [Lyons:] dated 1610 (but later?).

Two engraved sheets, each 12 gores, making up a celestial and terrestrial globe, on laid paper with central watermark depicting a bunch of grapes, sheets 287 x 423 mm, diameter of each globe approximately 113 mm. Celestial: first gore with a dedicatory cartouche, third gore with mapmaker’s name and date. Terrestrial: first gore with a dedicatory cartouche, tenth gore with mapmaker’s name and date. (A few tiny marginal holes on Celestial gore sheet.)

Shirley records two sets of globe gores, including both celestial and terrestrial: one pair at the Newberry Library, the other at Yale University.  Based on Shirley’s examination, he considered them both to be 18th-century pulls. The present examples are printed on half sheets of laid paper with chain lines running horizontally, and with a central watermark depicting a bunch of grapes. According to the Newberry Library, their gores are printed on “19th-century machine-made paper.” Spirinx’s cartography was based on Francois de Mongenet’s celestial and terrestrial globe gores. Examples of any strike of Spirinx’s gores are rare at auction: according to online records, we trace only 4 examples of Spirinx’s celestial gores, and no examples of Spirinx’s terrestrial gores at auction in the last 50 years.

PALMATARY, J[ames] T. Chicago. Cihcago [sic]: Braunhold & Sonne [now Charles Sonne], [1857].

Engraved bird’s-eye view of Chicago with contemporary hand-coloring on 4 sheets, image 1213 x 2107 mm. (Laid down on a backing board, some overall browning, some cracking and tiny holes with occasional losses and minor work in facsimile, some spotting.) Framed.

FIRST EDITION OF THIS RARE AND IMPORTANT MAP.

Palmatary drew his bird’s-eye view of Chicago just one year after the Illinois Central Railroad was completed; when it opened in 1856, the Illinois Central was the longest railroad in the world, running 705 miles from Cairo, Illinois to Chicago, and it features prominently in Palmatary’s view in the lower left, with tracks on trestles protected by breakwaters and dikes over a strip of land several hundred feet out in Lake Michigan. The Illinois Central originally intended to enter Chicago from the south, and requested permission to lay track along the lakefront to reach the city’s inner harbor. They were not granted permission, however, because the section of lakefront (also visible lower left) had been designated for public use in 1836 by the Illinois and Michigan Canal Commission (marked “Public Ground-A Common to remain Forever Open, Clear, Free of Any Buildings, or Other Obstruction Whatever” on a real estate map from 1836). After months of fighting, the City Council granted the Illinois Central the land in Lake Michigan, which led to the northern terminus for the railroad in the old Fort Dearborn reservation.

Visible in the lower right is an area called “The Sands,” near present-day Streeterville, notorious in its time for having a high concentration of brothels, gambling dens, saloons and inexpensive motels; the Sands became a point of refuge for Chicagoans in 1871 during the Great Chicago Fire. The lower margin includes a legend of notable places in the city, including Richmond House, the U.S. Marine Hospital, Grain and Freight Houses, the McCormick Reaper Factory, the “Illi. & Diversy” Brewery, and the Chicago Water Works. The view includes street names, homes, churches, and points of industrial interest, and was lithographed by Christian Inger, or Herline & Hensel in Philadelphia. Along the north and east portions of Wolf Point, three buildings have been drawn in by hand; these hand-drawn buildings are present in all copies we have examined.

VERY SCARCE: We trace only one other copy of this exceedingly rare map at auction in the last 100 years, sold in these rooms 13 September 2017; it is one of five known copies, and is one of only two copies in private hands, with copies being held by the Newberry Library, the Chicago History Museum, and the Library of Congress.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS

Conditions of Sale

All bidders with Hindman LLC must read and agree to Conditions of Sale posted in this catalogue prior to bidding at an auction.

Viewing Auction Items

It is highly recommended that all prospective bidders either view the sale via our online catalogue or contact Hindman LLC for further images or to schedule an appointment to view objects in person.

Estimates

Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.

Condition Reports

We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition

reports.

Bidding at Auction

The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding Increments

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction.

The standard bidding increments are:

$0 - $500

$25

$500 - $1,000 $50 $1,000 - $2,000 $100 $2,000 - $5,000 $250 $5,000 - $10,000 $500 $10,000 - $20,000 $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 $2,500 $50,000 - $100,000 $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 $10,000

Above > $200,000 At Auctioneer’s Discretion

In-House Bidding

Our auctions are free and open to the public with no obligation for attendees to bid. Registration requires your full contact information, photo identification, credit card information, your signature and agreement to the Conditions of Sale.. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer.

Live Bid Online

Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com.

Absentee Bidding

If you are unable to attend an auction, you may place an absentee bid, either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. An absentee bid is the highest price you are willing to pay exclusive of buyer’s premium and applicable sales tax. Hindman LLC will exercise absentee bids at no additional charge. Absentee bids are always confidential, and bids are executed at the lowest price possible by the auctioneer according to reserves and competing bids.

Telephone Bidding

You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Upon registering for a telephone bid, you will be called on the day of the auction by a Hindman representative approximately five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will communicate to you the bidding activity and will relay your bids to the auctioneer at your discretion. Please note we can only accept telephone bids for lots with a low estimate of $500 or above unless otherwise noted online. Telephone bids may be requested up to 2 hours prior to the auction start time.

These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION

1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES

Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.

3. VIEWING LOTS

We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes.

4. ESTIMATES

Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

5. WITHDRAWAL

We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID

1. GENERAL

We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that:

(a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and

(c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation.

2. NEW BIDDERS

New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity.

(a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s

Conditions of Sale

name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid.

3. RETURNING BIDDERS

If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction.

4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON

If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal.

5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM

If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction.

6. OUR BIDDING SERVICES

We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services.

(a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids.

(b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites.

(c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD

When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days.

C. DURING THE AUCTION

1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION

(a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION

The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).

3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER

The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.

4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES

Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Hindman prior to the sale.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION

1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM

In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $400,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $400,001 up to and including $4,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $4,000,001. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium.

2. TAXES

The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required.

3. MAKING PAYMENT

(a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date.

(b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name.

(c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer.

(ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed.

(iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us.

(iv) Credit card: Credit card payments may not exceed $10,000 and a

convenience fee of 3% will be added to each credit card payment.

(v) ACH Bank Transfer

(d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department.

4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU

You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you.

5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU

Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse.

6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY

If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion:

(a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due.

(b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation.

(c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount.

(d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law.

(e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller.

(f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids.

(g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us.

(h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate.

7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE

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

(b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate.

(c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot.

(d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6).

8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES

(a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot.

(b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be

responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES

1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES

For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY

Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows:

(a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty.

(b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type.

(c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified. “Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty.

(d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice.

(e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion.

(f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot.

(g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else.

(h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale.

(i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses.

(j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS

If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances:

(a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms:

(i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale.

(ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale.

(iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

4. JEWELRY

(a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time.

(b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report.

(c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report.

(d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS

(a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys.

(b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use.

(d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.

6. YOUR WARRANTIES

You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money

laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

(a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties.

(b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale.

(c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH.

(d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services.

(e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot.

(f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.

G. OTHER TERMS

1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL

In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.

2. RECORDINGS

We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction.

We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein.

4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT

If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected.

5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities.

6. PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.

7. WAIVER

No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

8. LAW AND DISPUTES

This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. You and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute. The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958.
