We're glad to offer an advance preview, usually for six weeks prior to sale date on most of the items inthis sale to benefit those traveling through Chicago or for those who may find it inconvenient to preview at our normal times. Call for an appointmentif you wish to arrange special viewing or evening viewing and we will try to accommodate you; contact John Toomey or Anne Dickinson at (708) 383-5234 in Oak Park. We extend this courtesy to all our clients but request an advance phone call to make arrangements.ESTIMATES: Our price estimates are purely that, an estimate, reflecting the range in which the price may fall. This should give buyers an ideaof what they should bid in order to have a good chance of being successful. In some cases the price range may be wider than others, due to theuniqueness of the individual piece. A few items have reserves. We implement them to offer items that may not have been available without them. Youwill find that few of the pieces offered have reserves. In most instances, the reserves will be less than the low estimate.ABSENTEE BIDS/PHONE BIDS: If you can't attend our sale, it is quite easy to get involved. You can bid over the phone during the sale orleave bids which will be executed by one of our representatives in the audience. When leaving a bid the only disadvantage you have is that you can'tadvance your bid as you might if you were there in person. Your bids are executed as though you are there in person. We get you into the bidding atthe first opportunity to insure your chance of being successful at the lowest price. Because of this, the lot may sell for your highest left bid, but not toyou because you were "in" at the previous bid.We respectfully ask that you refrain from calling during the auction to set up phone or leave absentee bids, as we use these lines to makecalls to pre-arranged phone bidders. Advance arrangements are crucial to insure your bids will be handled without problems.Note: Please try to send in absentee bids and/or arrangements for phone bidding to us as early as possible. We have a limited number ofphone lines available, and they do fill up very quickly, so make arrangements early to insure yourself a line. We cannot guarantee you will get a line ifyou make arrangements later than 5:00 p.m. (EST) on the Friday prior to the sale. Also, please remember we prefer to avoid phone bidding on itemsestimated under $500. Be sure absentee bids are given in the correct increments (see chart below). Keep in mind, when tie absentee bids comein, we will honor the first one received. However, absentee bids have an equal chance of being successful as do telephone or in-person bids and in noway take precedence. Again, please mail, fax or phone in absentee bids prior to 5:00 p.m. (EST) on the Friday prior to the sale, as we cannot guaranteeexecution after this time. If you mail your bids in, to avoid confusion, please do not also fax them (and vice versa). If you wish to confirm that your bidswere received, please phone us. If you phone in to make additions to left bids, be sure you mention that you've already left bids. Call Janet Rogers inCincinnati with any questions concerning absentee bids or phone bidding. NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT CALL FOR RESULTS OF SALE THE MONDAYAFTER THE AUCTION. WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST YOU AFTER ALL INFORMATION HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR ACCURACY.AUCTION INCREMENTS: We use the following increment multiples at our auctions.
