Please see shipping information below, use of third party shippers in nessesary for this sale The personal information you give us will be for internal use only and not be shared with persons outside the business functions of the auction. The auctioneer’s statements during the auction take precedence over all written and verbal information given. The auctioneer, Jerry Byfield, holds absolute authority and will ethically resolve any dispute relating to the auction. Catalog descriptions and estimates are to be used as only as guides. The catalog descriptions are as thorough as space allows. It is impossible to describe every detail of the clock's condition to everyone’s satisfaction. We have included high quality photographs of the antique clocks offered to help describe the clocks. We strongly recommend personal inspections due to differing opinions especially when there are questions regarding condition, repairs, and originality. Unless otherwise stated each clock has its original movement and is basically complete but may lack pendulum, key or other small part. If the description lists an associated movement, the clock has a movement, yet not the original clock mechanism supplied from the maker when new. We do our best to point out major defects but are not liable for hidden damages or overlooked defects. Dimensions are approximate. Antiques inherently have minor flaws and patina from years of use, so unless we describe the clock in mint, perfect or pristine condition, expect an antique with some degree of patina and and dust. The final decision to bid, and the amount to bid is at your own discretion and liability. All lots are as-is-where-is and your bid on the clock constitutes acceptance of the item in it's present condition ...and we will receive payment immediately after the sale.
