CONDITION REPORTS AND DESCRIPTIONS: Written and oral descriptions are our opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to authenticity, age, condition, materials or any other feature of items being sold. Gordon S. Converse & Co. attempts to catalog every lot correctly and will attempt to point out any defects but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. We recommend prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest. By placing a bid, either in person, by phone, absentee or via the Internet, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire to or that you have chosen not to examine them. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, we recommend you have an expert examine the lot for you or do not bid on the item in question. SHIPPING AND DELIVERIES: ORDINARILY WE DO NOT PACK AND SHIP OURSELVES, although with some of the smaller items (indicated in the catalog) we offer shipping without insurance. You will be billed for shipping costs when you are billed for your item(s). In some situations we can arrange to deliver items. ALL OTHER SHIPPING TRANSACTIONS ARE BETWEEN YOUR CHOSEN SHIPPER AND YOU, THE BUYER. For your convenience we offer a recommended UPS Store shipper who will pick up items from this location and pack and ship items. Regardless of how your items are shipped, you need to notify us in writing of your plans when making your payment. If you wish to use our recommended shipper, we will contact them with your pertinent information and they will contact you directly after payments are received; if you designate your own shipper we will not contact them. Failure to either designate a shipper or have us notify our recommended shipper within three weeks after payment is received will have your items removed to storage incurring a storage charge and/or our eventually reselling the items.

If you request our store to pack & ship, you will receive a packing and shipping estimate after payment is made for the purchase and the store notified.
