AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.

There is a line in the glass that encircles the weight's top surface, a 'straw mark' by some definitions. The line is original to the piece and confirms there has not been any polishing. There are no chips, cracks, repairs, scratches or areas of wear, save the normal evidence of age in the form of abrasion on the polished base.
