AGREEMENT BETWEEN
PROFILES IN HISTORY & BIDDER
ment under any circumstances. Profiles reserves the right to refuse
to accept bids from anyone.
The following terms and conditions constitute the sole terms and
conditions under which Profiles in History (“Profiles”) will offer
for sale and sell the property described in the Catalog. These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Bidder and
Profiles with respect to the auction. By bidding at auction, whether
in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, on-line, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any
other means, the Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and
understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of
items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby.
4. Auctioneer’s Discretion: Profiles shall determine opening bids
and bidding increments. The auctioneer has the right in its absolute
discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between bidders
or if the auctioneer has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance
the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful
bidder in the event of a dispute between bidders, to continue the
bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a
dispute after the sale, Profiles’ record of final sale shall be conclusive.
The auctioneer also may reject any bid and withdraw the lot from
sale if the auctioneer decides either that any opening bid is below
the reserve (see paragraph 5 below) of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer
at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.
Bidder and Profiles agree that any agreements between the Bidder
and Profiles including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale
are entered into in Los Angeles County, California, which is where
the agreements are to be performed and the auction to take place,
no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or
where Bidder was informed of the auction and regardless of whether
catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location. Both Profiles and the Bidder agree that any
disputes under these Conditions of Sale, the subject matter hereof,
the entering into, or any aspect of the auction, shall be exclusively
governed by California law, and that any and all claims or actions
shall be brought and maintained only in Los Angeles County, California in a State or Federal Court to the exclusion of any other
venue, locale or jurisdiction. All parties submit to such jurisdiction.
Both Bidder and Profiles agree that these provisions are intended to
be binding on all parties and that they shall solely control choice-oflaw, venue and jurisdiction in the event of any dispute specifically
including third party claims and cross-actions brought by either
Profiles or Bidder, and that absent such agreement, Profiles would
not permit Bidder to bid hereunder. Any violation of the terms of
this Paragraph shall entitle the affected party to reasonable attorney
fees and litigation costs in addition to all other available remedies,
all of which remain reserved. The parties agree that Profiles shall be
entitled to present these Conditions of Sale to a court in any jurisdiction other than set forth in this paragraph as conclusive evidence
of the parties’ agreement, and the parties further agree that the court
shall immediately dismiss any action filed in such jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the prevailing party in any
claim, dispute or litigation between the parties shall be entitled to an
award of reasonable attorney fees and costs of litigation.
Unless otherwise set forth in the Catalog, all property will be offered by Profiles solely as agent for the seller or consignor of the
property (“Consignor”) and not on its own behalf.
Profiles is in compliance, to the fullest extent possible, with California procedures regarding the bonding of auctioneers.
1. Final Bid Price, Purchase Price and Payment: The term, “Final
Bid Price” means the amount of the highest bid acknowledged and
acceptable to Profiles. The term, “Purchase Price” means the sum
of (1) the Final Bid Price; (2) a premium payable by the successful Bidder (also referred to throughout these Conditions of Sale as
“Buyer”) equal to twenty-three percent (23%) of the Final Bid Price
[discounted to twenty percent (20%) of the Final Bid Price if paid
in full in cash or by valid check]; or twenty-three percent (23%) if
bid on and won through internet bidding; (3) applicable taxes (including California and local sales tax and/or compensating use tax
based upon the purchase price unless exempted by law and/or where
Buyer presents an original, valid resale certificate with a copy for
Profiles’ records from the California State Board of Equalization);
(4) shipping, handling and insurance coverage if requested by Buyer
and agreed upon by Profiles. Profiles may accept current and valid
VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express credit or debit
cards for payment but under the express condition that any property
purchased by credit or debit card shall not be refundable, returnable,
or exchangeable, and that no credit to Buyer’s credit or debit card
account will be issued under any circumstances. The last sentence
constitutes Profiles’ “official policy” regarding returns, refunds, and
exchanges where credit or debit cards are used. For payment other
than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment
has been actually received by Profiles, i.e., check has fully cleared or
credit or debit card funds fully obtained.
Profiles has been authorized by the seller or consignor to retain, as
partial remuneration, the premium set forth as number (2) in this
paragraph. Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by Profiles,
payment in full is due within seven calendar days of the auction or
within five calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later.
PROFILES SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, AND THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY PRE-AUTHORIZES PROFILES, TO CHARGE
FROM AND COLLECT ALL AMOUNTS OWED FROM ALL
CREDIT AND/OR DEBIT ACCOUNTS IDENTIFIED TO
PROFILES BY THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER PRIOR TO BIDDING IN THE EVENT THAT THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER
DOES NOT MAKE TIMELY PAYMENT UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS OF SALE. IN SUCH EVENT, THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER AUTHORIZES PROFILES TO COLLECT ALL
AMOUNTS OWED FROM ANY OF SAID ACCOUNTS, AND
THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER SHALL NOT CONTEST ANY
SUCH CREDIT OR DEBIT ACCOUNT CHARGE ON THE
GROUND THAT PROFILES WAS NOT SO AUTHORIZED.
2. Title: On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered
lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer
but fully subject to Buyer’s compliance with all of the terms of the
Conditions of Sale and the Registration Form.
3. Rights Reserved: Profiles reserves the right to withdraw any lot
before or at the time of the auction, and/or to postpone the auction
of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. Profiles shall not
be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal or postpone-
2
5. Reserves: Lots may be subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Although
the auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve
by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, Profiles reserves the right to
protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer and continuing to bid on behalf of the seller up to the reserve amount either
through consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other
bidders. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. If the
consignor is indebted to or has a monetary guarantee from Profiles
in certain circumstances, Profiles may have an interest in an offered
lot and the proceeds therefrom apart from Profiles’ commissions,
and Profiles may bid thereon to protect such interest. In such instance, Profiles is entitled to its standard commission rate when a lot
is “bought-in” to protect its interest.
6. Risk and Responsibility, Agency: The buyer shall, once deemed
the highest bidder on the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, bear all
risk and responsibility for the lot, and neither Profiles, its agents nor
employees, shall thereafter be liable for any loss or damage to the
property. The buyer will also be required to sign a confirmation
of purchase at such time if requested by the auctioneer. All bidders
are deemed to be acting as principals unless Profiles acknowledges
in writing prior to the auction that the bidder is acting as agent for
another party. In the absence of such written acknowledgment, the
bidder guarantees payment of the Purchase Price of a successful bid.
7. Possession and Removal, Charges: No portion of any lot may be
removed from the premises or possession transferred to Buyer unless Buyer has fully complied with these Conditions of Sale and the
terms of the Registration Form, and unless and until Profiles has received the Purchase Price funds in full. Notwithstanding the above,
all property must be removed from the premises by Buyer at his
or her sole expense not later than seven (7) calendar days from the
invoice date. If all or any property has not been so removed within
that time, in addition to any other remedies available to Profiles all
of which are reserved, a handling charge of one percent (1%) of the
Purchase Price per month will be assessed and payable to Profiles by
Buyer, with a minimum of five percent (5%) assessed and payable to
Profiles by Buyer for any property not removed within sixty (60)
days. Profiles shall additionally have the option, in its sole discretion, of transferring any of such property to a public warehouse at
the full risk and expense of Buyer. Profiles, in addition, reserves the
right to impose a late charge of fifteen percent (15%) per year on the
Purchase Price if Buyer does not make full payment in accordance
herewith. Profiles and Buyer acknowledge and agree that these
charges are reasonably imposed to partially compensate Profiles for
losses and expenses associated with any such delays.
8. Off-Site Bidding: Bidding by telephone, facsimile-transmission
(fax-in), on-line, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted
subject to advance arrangements, availability, and Profiles’ approval
which shall be exercised at Profiles’ sole discretion. Neither Profiles
nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to
execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution
thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner,
Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the
terms contained on the Registration Form.
9. Profiles’ Remedies: Failure of the Bidder/Buyer to comply with
any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration
Form, is an event of default. In such event, Profiles may, in addition
to any other available remedies specifically including the right to
hold the defaulting Bidder/Buyer liable for the Purchase Price or
to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder/Buyer’s credit or
debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale,
retaining any payment made by the Buyer as damages (the Bidder/
Buyer understands and acknowledges that Profiles will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under
sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate Profiles for such damages;
(b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately;
(c) charge the Bidder/Buyer interest on the Purchase Price at the
rate of one and one-half per cent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that Profiles,
in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve
and protect Profiles’ rights and remedies. Should Profiles resell
the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the
payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and
expenses associated therewith, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court
costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due
hereunder which were not collected or collectable.
In the event that such buyer is the successful bidder on more than
one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, Profiles shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots
that Profiles, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If Profiles
does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment
shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest.
Any buyer failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be
1-310-859-7701
deemed to have granted Profiles a security interest in, and Profiles
may retain as collateral such security for such buyer’s obligations to
Profiles, any property in Profiles’ possession owned by such buyer.
Profiles shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the state
of California.
10. Warranties: Profiles does not provide any warranties to Bidders
or Buyers, whether express or implied, beyond those expressly provided for in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold
“as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither Profiles nor the consignor makes any representation or
warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for
intended use, condition of the property (including any condition
report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality,
rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or
period of the property.
Additionally, neither Profiles nor the consigner makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to whether the Buyer
acquires rights in copyright or other intellectual property (including
exhibition or reproduction rights) or whether the property is subject
to any limitations such as ‘droit morale’ (moral rights) or other rights
affecting works of art. Bidder/Buyer acknowledges and agrees that
if the property embodies any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property, by the purchase of such property, Buyer/Bidder is
not acquiring any interest in any copyright, trademark or other intellectual property that may be embodied or reflected in such property, but is acquiring only such physical embodiment and/or reflection. Profiles does not make any representation or warranty as to
title. All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology
including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder), authorship, period,
culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance,
importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the catalog, bill of
sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made
by Profiles to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as
to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein;
they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or
warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall
not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what
price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the
auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports
are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended
nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations
or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices. Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each
lot prior to bidding, and Profiles urges Bidders to avail themselves
accordingly. Lots and property are not returnable to Profiles for any
reason except under Buyer’s limited Remedies set forth in Section
13 below and under the express terms and conditions of Section 13.
11. Limitation of Damages: In the event that Profiles is prevented for
any reason from delivering any property to Buyer or Buyer is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of Profiles, the liability, if
any, of Profiles, shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amount
actually paid for the property by Buyer. In no event shall Profiles be
liable for incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or consequential
damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits,
value of investment or opportunity cost.
12. Unauthorized Statements: Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of Profiles authorized by Profiles to
modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Terms and Conditions, any term or condition set forth on the Registration Form, any
warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions
regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due
date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or
any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by
Profiles unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives
of Profiles to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots,
even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such
statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed by all
parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding
on Profiles, and under no circumstances shall be relied on by Bidder
as a statement, representation or warranty of Profiles.
13. Buyer’s Remedies: This section sets forth the sole and exclusive
remedies of Buyer in conformity with Sections 10 (“Warranties”)
and 11 (“Limitation of Damages”) herein, and is expressly in lieu of
any other rights or remedies which might be available to Buyer by
law. The Buyer hereby accepts the benefit of the consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by
the consignor for the Buyer’s benefit. In the event that Buyer proves
in writing to Profiles’ satisfaction that there was a breach of the
consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Buyer,
Profiles shall make demand upon the consignor to pay to Buyer the
Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts
paid or due to Profiles). Should the consignor not pay the Purchase
Price to Buyer within thirty days after such demand, Profiles shall
disclose the identity of the consignor to Buyer and assign to Buyer
all of Profiles’ rights against the consignor with respect to such lot
or property. Upon such disclosure and assignment, all responsibility
and liability, if any, of Profiles with respect to said lot or property
shall automatically terminate. Profiles shall be entitled to retain the
premiums and other amounts paid to Profiles - this remedy is as to
the consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for
the original Buyer only and they may not be assigned or relied upon
by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances. Lots containing ten or more items are not returnable under any circumstances.
The exercise of rights under this Section 13 must be made, if at all,
within thirty (30) days of the date of sale.
14. Profiles’ Additional Services: For Buyers who do not remove
purchased property from Profiles’ premises, Profiles, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Buyers, may
arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at
the sole request, expense, and risk of Buyer. Profiles assumes no
and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in
such packing or shipping by Profiles or other packers and carriers,
whether or not recommended by Profiles. Profiles assumes no and
disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass
or other breakable items. Where Profiles arranges and bills for such
services via invoice or credit card, Profiles will include an administration charge.
15. Headings: Headings are for convenience only and shall not be
used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer.
16. Entire Agreement: These Conditions of Sale constitute the
entire agreement between the parties together with the terms and
conditions contained in the Registration Form. They may not be
amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed by Profiles or acting as agent or representative of Profiles may
amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such
amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed
by all parties. If any part of these Conditions of Sale are for any
reason deemed invalid or enforceable, the remaining portions shall
remain fully enforceable without regard to the invalid or unenforceable provisions.
AUCTION GENERAL GUIDELINES
Conditions of Sale: Before you bid, you must read the Conditions
of Sale, immediately preceding these pages. They represent a contract between Profiles and you, and they contain important terms
and conditions such as jurisdiction, payment terms, warranties and
remedies. The Conditions of Sale are controlling over these general guidelines in the event of any conflicts between their respective terms.
Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each entry
in the catalog includes a price range, which reflects opinion as to
the price expected at auction. These are based upon various factors
including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property,
condition, rarity, quality, history, and provenance. Estimates are
prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or sales tax (see under
separate heading). See Paragraph 10 of the Conditions of Sale for
important restrictions as to reliance on estimated prices.
Reserves The reserve is the minimum price the seller is willing to
accept and below which a lot will not be sold. This amount is confidential and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate.
Owned or Guaranteed Property: Profiles in History generally offers
property consigned by others for sale at public auction; occasionally,
lots are offered that are the property of Profiles in History.
Buyer’s Premium and Sales Tax: The actual purchase price will be
the sum of the final bid price plus the buyer’s premium of 23% of
the hammer price (discounted to 20% when full payment is made in
cash or by valid check); or twenty-three percent (23%) if bid on and
won through internet bidding. California sales tax shall automatically be added to the purchase price unless exempted.
Before the Auction: You may attend pre-sale viewing for all of our
auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on
view for several days prior to the sale. You are encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. You may also request condition reports (see
below). Profiles in History’s staff are available at viewings and by
appointment.
Hours of Business: Profiles in History is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on weekdays. The viewing schedule for the auction is published in
the front of the auction catalog.
Condition Reports: If you wish to obtain additional information on
a particular lot, or cannot appear at the viewing, Profiles in History
may provide, upon request, a condition report. We remind prospective buyers that descriptions of property are not warranted and that
each lot is sold “as is” in accordance with the terms of the limited
warranty. Condition reports, as other descriptions of property, are
not warranted; they are only provided as a service to interested clients. Neither Profiles in History nor the consignor make any express
or implied representation or warranty concerning the condition of
any lot offered for sale; any information furnished does not modify
or negate the limited warranty contained in the Conditions of Sale.
See Paragraph 10 of the Conditions of Sale for important restrictions
as to reliance on condition reports.
Registration: If you are planning to bid at auction, you will need
to register with us. Please arrive 30 or 45 minutes before the sale to
complete bidder registration and to receive a numbered paddle to
identify you if you are the successful bidder. If you are a new client,
or if you have not made a recent purchase at Profiles in History, you
may be asked to supply bank and/or other credit references when
you register. To avoid any delay in the release of your purchases, we
suggest that you pre-arrange check or credit approval. If so, please
contact Profiles in History at (310) 859-7701 or by fax at (310) 8593842. You must acknowledge having read your agreement with all
of the Conditions of Sale prior to your registration and prior to your
bidding on any lot.
The Auction: All auctions are open to registered bidders only. You
must register to bid or otherwise participate.
Bidding: Property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it
appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those
present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with Profiles in History in
advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute bids on
behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering
bids in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under
no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the
consignor at or above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the
reserve.
Bidding Increments: See registration page.
Absentee Bids: If you cannot attend an auction, it is possible to bid
by other means. The most common is the absentee bid, sometimes
called an “order bid.” Absentee bids are written instructions from
you directing Profiles in History to bid for you on one or more lots
up to a maximum amount you specify for each lot. Profiles in History staff will execute your absentee bid as reasonably as possible,
taking into account the reserve price and other bids. There is no
charge for this service. If identical bids are submitted by two or more
parties, the first bid received by Profiles in History will take preference. The auctioneer may execute bids for absentee bidders directly
from the podium, clearly identifying these as order bids. Absentee
Bid Forms are available in the back of every auction catalog and also
may be obtained at any Profiles in History location. See Conditions
of Sale and Registration Form for absentee bid details.
Telephone Bids: It is also possible to bid by telephone if you cannot
attend an auction. Arrangements should be confirmed at least one
day in advance of the sale with Profiles in History at (310) 859-7701.
Profiles in History staff will execute telephone bids from designated
areas in the salesroom. See Conditions of Sale and Registration
Form for telephone bid details.
Internet Bids: Profiles in History is pleased to offer live Internet
bidding at www. profilesinhistory.com. To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit this
site and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual
auction. Please be aware that there is a minimum 3-second delay
in the audio and visual feeds, which may confuse some bidders. If
you have questions about this feature, please call Profiles in History
well in advance of the auction. Winning bidders will be notified by
Profiles. Profiles is not and cannot be responsible or liable for any
problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use
of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to
transmission, execution or processing of bids.
PLEASE NOTE: On some occasions beyond the control of Profiles,
the online bidding software or the Internet itself may not physically keep up with the pace of the auction. In order to help avoid
disappointment, Profiles recommends placing a realistic absentee
bid now. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an
internet live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the
close of the internet live bidding (typically but not always because
a floor bid or a telephone bid was missed), and your bid may be rejected even if you were shown to be the winning bidder. By bidding
online, you acknowledge and agree that Profiles in History may
award the lot to another bidder at its sole and final discretion under
the circumstances described above or under any other reasonable
circumstances. Since internet bids are not shown to Profiles until
Profiles opens the lot on the floor, Profiles treats those bids the same
as floor or telephone bids. In most cases, however, the floor and/
or telephone responds before the internet bid is presented, due to
live internet bid software or internet lag time, so for consistency it
is Profiles in History’s policy that floor bids and telephone bids are
always considered first over online bids with floor bids being considered before telephone bids. Also please note that all Profiles lots
purchased online carry a 23% Buyer’s Premium. Profiles in History
strongly urges the bidder to resolve any questions about these policies or their implementation PRIOR TO BIDDING.
Successful Bids: The fall of the auctioneer’s hammer indicates the
final bid. Profiles in History will record the paddle number of the
buyer. If your salesroom or absentee bid is successful, you will be
notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.
Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In
other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the consignor.
AFTER THE AUCTION
Payment: You are expected to pay for your purchases in full within
seven calendar days of the sale or five calendar days from the invoice date, whichever is later, and to remove the property you have
bought by that date.
Shipping: After payment has been made in full, Profiles in History
may, as a service to buyers, arrange to have property packed, insured
and shipped at your request and expense. For shipping information,
please contact Profiles in History at (310) 859-7701. In circumstances in which Profiles in History arranges and bills for such services
via invoice or credit card, we will also include an administration
charge. Packages shipped internationally will have full value declared on shipping form.
Sales Results: Interested clients may obtain sale results for specific
lots at least three business days after the auction by calling Profiles
in History at (310) 859-7701.
THE SELLER
Auction Estimate: If you are considering selling your property,
you can bring items to our Calabasas Hills salesroom by appointment only. If a visit is not practical, you may instead send a clear
photograph together with dimensions and any other pertinent information you may have. Profiles in History cannot be responsible
or liable in any case for damage or loss to photographs or other
information sent.
Consignment Agreement: If you decide to sell your property at auction, the procedures are simple and you should find Profiles in History staff helpful to you throughout the process. After discussions
with our staff you will receive a contract (Consignment Agreement)
to sign, setting forth terms and fees for services we can provide, such
as insurance, shipping and catalog illustrations. For all categories,
Profiles in History’s standard consignor commission rates are fifteen
percent (15%) of the final bid price. Profiles in History generally
www . profilesinhistory . com
charges a minimum commission of $100 for each lot sold. Profiles
in History will discuss with you a suggested reserve price and our
recommendations for pre-sale estimates for each piece of property
you consign for sale. The terms and conditions contained in the actual Consignment Agreement will govern our respective rights and
obligations; those terms and conditions are controlling over these
general guidelines.
Delivery of Property to Profiles in History: After you have consigned property to us for sale, you can either bring your property
to Profiles in History yourself, arrange with your own shipper to
deliver it to us or Profiles in History can arrange for it to be shipped
through their shipping department. We are always happy to assist
you. For more information please contact us at (310) 859-7701.
Property usually arrives at Profiles in History at least three months
before the sale in order to allow time to research, catalog and photograph the items. Prior to the auction your property is generally
stored at Profiles in History’s facilities.
Pre-Auction Notification: Several weeks before the scheduled sale,
along with thousands of Profiles in History’s worldwide subscribers,

1. (2) Original Winsor McCay production drawings from Gertie the Dinosaur. (Winsor McCay, 1914) (2) Rare and historical production drawings from Winsor McCay’s groundbreaking film Gertie the Dinosaur. McCay, an accomplished illustrator and Vaudeville performer, made 2
animated films previously. The first, Little Nemo (using characters from his popular newspaper strip), debuted in 1911 and used 4,000 animation drawings. McCay hand-colored the 35mm frames to achieve a striking effect and used the film in his vaudeville act. An experiment in movement with no
real storyline, it was well received and McCay began work on his second film, The Story of a Mosquito, which took one year to complete. The Story
of a Mosquito tells a comic tale of a mosquito’s encounter with a drunk. While also a big hit, theatre patrons suspected McCay was performing some
sort of trick with wires. Motion pictures were quite new and movie audiences were naive and still getting accustomed to the medium. The idea of
a drawing coming to life was unheard of. McCay decided to animate a Dinosaur to prove that his drawings moved. Thus, in 1913 McCay began to
animate Gertie the Dinosaur. He enlisted the help of a young neighbor, John A. Fitzsimmons who traced backgrounds onto rice paper while McCay did
all the principle drawings. 10,000 drawings were inked on rice paper and mounted on cardboard for registration. In this way, McCay was able to flip
drawings through a primitive machine to check his work. With nothing but his own experience to rely on, McCay produced an astonishing piece of
animation that holds up even to today’s standards. McCay painstakingly animated details such as particles of dirt falling, and water dripping. He gave
Gertie personality and emotions. We see her eating, drinking, playing, and even crying. In February of 1914, Gertie the Dinosaur debuted in Chicago
as part of McCay’s vaudeville act. McCay would appear onstage next to a movie screen and brandishing a whip. He would speak to the audience and
explain how animated films were made, photographed, and projected. He would then introduce Gertie as, “the only Dinosaur in captivity”. At the
crack of his whip, the film would begin. The act was an instant sensation and Gertie became one of the first cartoon “stars”. No film exists of McCay’s
act, but in September of 1914, a film with a live-action prologue and epilogue was produced in which McCay makes a bet with friends that he can
bring a Dinosaur to life. McCay’s stage dialogue with Gertie was replaced with inter-titles. The film retained much of its charm. A film with a “star”
and a storyline, Gertie the Dinosaur became a landmark in the history of animation. Of the 10,000 drawings used to make the film, only around 400
are known to have survived. McCay went on to create several more animated films, and was one of the first to use cels rather than paper. Gertie still
stands as his masterpiece and the most influential animated film of all time. Accomplished in ink on rice paper tipped to board, Gertie measures 3.5
x 6.5 in. on one drawing and 4 x 5.5 in. on the other Overall dimensions 6.5 x 8.5 in. Sequence numbers in lower right corners. $3,000 - $5,000

22. Extremely rare Walter Lantz master “Dinky Doodle” publicity photo with original art. (Bray Studios, 1924) Amazing and
extremely rare publicity photo featuring Walter Lantz with original artwork of “Dinky Doodle”. Lantz began his career at age 16 as a cameraman at
the fledgling Hearst Animation Studio. By age 18, he was a full fledged animator. In 1919, at the age of 19, Lantz moved to the John R,. Bray Studios.
Bray, a pioneer in animation, soon promoted Lantz to the position of studio manager and made Lantz responsible for creating his own characters.
Lantz’s first creation was “Dinky Doodle” and his canine pal, “Weakheart”. Expanding on the format of Fleischer’s popular Out Of The Inkwell series,
Lantz appeared in the “Dinky Doodle” shorts and combined live-action with animation. Presented here is a master photo of Lantz from one of the
“Dinky Doodle” shorts. Images of “Dinky Doodle”, “Weakheart”, and natives, as well as the tree and rope he has been tied with, have been created
on paper, trimmed out and applied to the photo to create the scene. This master photo was then photographed again and used for publicity purposes.
The final negative of the scene is also included. Inked in the lower right-hand corner is “DD#10”, indicating it is the 10th “Dinky Doodle” cartoon
produced. Lantz left Bray in 1927, moved to California and after a brief stint with the Max Sennett studio, founded the Universal Studios Animation
studio, took over “Oswald The Lucky Rabbit” from Disney, and went on to create an enourmous catalog of animated characters including “Woody
Woodpecker”, “Andy Panda” and “Chilly Willy”. This is an extremely important piece in the history and development of animation. Overall condition

an original production cel, and usually if signed, it was with a Disney studio signature. However this particular dye transfer was given to Joe Rosenberg,
a close friend of Walt Disney’s and a member of the Board of Directors at the Studio. Rosenberg, a Bank of America loan officer was instrumental in
getting Walt Disney a much needed loan for the completion of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and later for the Disneyland Park. This transfer was
given to Rosenberg, the same year as Lady and the Tramp was released to theatres, and as indicated by the inscription was most likely a christmas gift
from his close friends at the studio. Still housed in the original frame, The 9 x 12 in. transfer has slipped slightly in the mat. The mat is hand-lettered
