Conditions of Sale
The lots listed in this catalog (whether printed or posted online) will be offered
at a public auction by Matthew Bullock Auctioneers as agents for consignor(s)
subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction, you agree
to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.
Prior to the Sale
All items (hereinafter referred to as item(s), lot(s), article(s), antique(s),
property, etc.) for sale are sold AS IS and Matthew Bullock Auctioneers its
agents, employees, and/or consignors do not make any guarantees,
warranties, or representations, expressed or implied, with respect to the items
or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of
authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance,
exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of the property or otherwise,
except where applicable under the Terms of Guarantee (applies ONLY to
published catalog auctions, NOT Online Only Auctions). No statement
anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee,
warranty, or representation.
PLEASE NOTE ALL SHELF LOTS, GROUP LOTS AND BOX LOTS WE GIVE NO
GUARANTEE AS TO CONDITION; SOME ITEMS MAY HAVE CHIPS OR
CRACKS NOT NOTED IN THE DESCRIPTION. YOU ARE BUYING THESE LOTS
AS IS!!!!
All prospective bidders should inspect the property they wish to purchase
prior to bidding. If a bidder is unable to view an item in person, they are
responsible for obtaining a condition report and/or additional photographs
prior to bidding to determine an article?s condition, size, and degree of
restoration. We endeavor to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and
condition reports; however, bidders must acknowledge that antique items
often show normal signs of use and wear, which might not be specified in a
condition report. If you are a very particular client with expectations of
perfection for the items you purchase, it is advisable that you inspect items in

person or that you do not submit absentee bids as your definition of condition
may be more exacting than an appraiser could have time to verify. The
absence of a condition report does not imply that the lot is in good condition.
Matthew Bullock Auctioneers reserves the right to reject any request for a
condition report/additional photograph in which, in our opinion, the value of the
object is not commensurate with the time necessary to complete the request.
Please also note that the warranties given by Matthew Bullock Auctioneers
(applies to published/printed catalog auctions only), do not extend to the
condition reports. Weights and measurements are approximate. Matthew
Bullock Auctioneers does not guarantee clocks, watches, mechanical banks,
scientific instruments, electric lamps, and other mechanical or electric items to
be complete or in working condition. Display materials shown in photographs
are not included with the lot unless stated in the description. Box lots (i.e.,
books) are only guaranteed to have those items listed in the description and
no condition reports or additional photographs will be provided.

a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require

Bidding as Principal - When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal
liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium, all applicable
taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed
upon in writing with Matthew Bullock Auctioneers before the commencement
of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third
party acceptable to Matthew Bullock Auctioneers, and that Matthew Bullock
Auctioneers will only look to the principal for payment.
Absentee Bids - Matthew Bullock Auctioneers will use reasonable efforts to
carry out written bids given to us prior to the sale for the convenience of
clients who are not present at the auction in person. Bids must be placed in
U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts,
and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the
person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written
bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of
the sale and Matthew Bullock Auctioneers does not accept liability for failing to
execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with such
written bid(s).

prospective buyer to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone
and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in
connection with telephone bidding. All telephone bids must be at least $250,
start at half of the low reserve or 10% above the current online bid.

possibility of any error in entering or acceptance of an online bid, it is
recommended that you bid directly with Matthew Bullock Auctioneers either by
way of in-person, absentee or telephone bidding.
Reserves- Although, most of the lots (99.5%) in the sale are offered without
reserve, some lots in the sale may be subject to a reserve which is the
confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve
will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with
consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Matthew
Bullock Auctioneers The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below
the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may
continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either
by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already
competing bids, the auctioneer, at his or her discretion, will generally open the
bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that
level, the auctioneer may proceed backward at his or her discretion until a bid
is recognized, and then continue up from that amount.??
Auctioneer's Discretion - The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute
and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner
as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or
dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful
bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the
item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is
conclusive.
Successful Bid - The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be
the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will be determined
by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute
between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the
successful bidder or to re-offer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the

sale, the Matthew Bullock Auctioneers sale record shall be conclusive. Title
passes upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer to the highest acknowledged
bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder
assumes full risk and responsibility.
