(The
first few lots have been tidied up to nearer their original style just
to give you a better impression.)
The figure at the end of each description
is our estimate, in pounds sterling. Bids are accepted above or below this
figure, although bids below about 75% or 80% estimate only have a tiny
chance of success. Estimates are in Pounds Sterling do not include the
10% buyer's premium.
After the main listings you will
find various information and instructions. This is followed by a sample
bid form, and a copy of the the notes that appear
on the reverse of our bid forms.
This is a public auction, in which
written/telephone/fax/e-mail bids are also accepted. If you are bidding
with us for the first time, please bid by two of these methods with the
same bids (e.g. by post and by fax, or by telephone and by
e-mail), or bid in good enough time for us to get back in touch with you
with any queries.
NEW BIDDERS;

different methods. The options available are email, telephone, fax,
or post.

to make space for credit card instructions. If you want your purchases
charged in this way, please complete the appropriate section.
Do not complete these details unless you want to pay by credit
card, and to have the lots posted.
