However, we ask that you not request additional information on the day of the auction, as we are fully committed to taking telephone bids during that time. The catalog is organized by subject or geographical region. The Table of Contents is provided to help you find items. You may also search the catalog with our powerful search engine to find specific items matching your criteria. Also included is a description of any significant flaws, damage or repairs.
Every effort is made to accurately describe the condition of each item.
We have used the following guidelines to develop the condition code system. While condition is important, it must also be kept in mind that all items are original, generally several hundred years old, and should not be expected to be as new. Minor flaws, such as tiny spots or printer's creases generally have only a minimal effect on the value of an item. These codes should be used as a general guide. Significant flaws are noted in addition to the code.
