In publishing this catalog Old Barn Auction has endeavored to accurately describe all items being sold but all property herein offered for sale is strictly "as is" and it is the bidder's responsibility whether bidding in person, by mail, phone, or internet to determine exact condition of each item. No statement in this catalog, bill of sale, invoice or elsewhere by any representative of or person in the employment of Old Barn Auction shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability with respect to age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance, provenance or historical relevance of any of these items. Any such statements are strictly matters of opinion. The auctioneer will be the final judge as to which bidder is the highest bidder. In the event of any dispute in this matter, the auctioneer shall use his own discretion to decide to reopen the bidding or not. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the Auctioneer's "Hammer". The purchaser shall assume full risk and responsibility for the lot purchased once title has passed. The buyer must pay Ohio Sales Tax (6%) unless exemption is allowed under the laws regulating such tax. Out of state sale tax number will be accepted. You do not pay Ohio Sales Tax if items are shipped out of state. All accounts are to be settled by the end of sale unless other arrangements have been made. All internet bidders will receive an invoice by Tuesday March 6 2007, and payment to be sent within 15 days from the SALE DATE. Payment may be made by cash or personal check if approval has been established with Old Barn Auction or a bank authorization guaranteeing personal checks has been submitted.

Old Barn Auction is not responsible for any typographical errors or omissions in this catalog or in the subsequent price key. Photographs in this catalog are of the actual objects being sold but exact condition of the objects offered is their condition on the day of sale. It is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. There will be absolutely NO returns or adjustments made 30 days after sale date. You may bid by phone, absentee, or live internet bidding. The bids will be given to an experienced bidder in the audience to execute competitively and buy as cheaply as possible. A down payment is not necessary we will bill you if successful. It is not a foolproof system, but is 100% honest. If you plan to phone bid, please make arrangements during the week. Please don't wait until the day of the sale to send or call in your bids, we would need to have them by Friday. Also if you are absentee bidding, either call in your bids or fax (419)422-5321, or e-mail to auction@oldbarn.com. If you need a better description of an Artifact, please call the week of the sale. For live internet bidding go to liveauctioneers.com or ebay.com to register. An additional 5% will be added to the buyer's premium for internet bidding (15%). We will ship and insure items bought absentee according to your wishes. Shipped merchandise will carry a fee for packing, handling, postage and insurance.

This auction will start on Saturday, March 3, 2007 at 10:00 AM EASTERN Time. We will start on Saturday with lot 1 and complete auction on lot 385. Unlike other eBay auctions in the regular format with specific start day and time and a specific stop day and time, the LIVE AUCTION process is a bit different. Be aware that when our auction session begins on the day indicated, the lots are sold in numeric order at a rate of approximately 90 lots per hour. As such, if a session only has 500 lots, it will likely be over in approximately 5 hours (no matter what the end time eBay might list). Remember, this is approximately how many we do, so leave yourself some flexibility in either direction to be by your computer at the right time. If you have any further questions about the times lots will come up LIVE, please contact our office. Remember if there is a 15% buyer's premium for all internet bidding. All items should be laid out by February 21. If you have questions, or need extra pictures, we will be able to do this once the items are laid out. (We hold other auctions) INVOICES: Invoices will be e-mailed to all internet bidders by Tuesday, March 6. (WILL NOT HAVE INVOICES READY ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY). Payment for all items purchased must be received within 15 days from SALE DATE. Items will be shipped the same day we receive payment. Shipping figures are completed AFTER the auction is completed. If you need to contact us by phone, call 419-422-8531.
