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.

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.
