The items in the collection are hand-forged. As such, bidders should expect variations in the appearance of pairs, sizes, conditions, etc., for all lots. These variations will not be noted in the descriptions. All item counts and sizes are approximate. Cataloguing of items MAY have taken place before a condition evaluation was completed. As such, it is the responsibility of all prospective bidders to ask for/obtain a condition report (call 610-269-0695 or email info@pookandpook.com) or to personally inspect the property at our gallery before bidding to determine its condition, size, and whether or not it has been restored.

Questions may not be answered at all once the auction has begun.
