A buyer's Premium of 10% will be added to the hammer price of each lot.  Payment is by cash or good check.  A 2% fee will be added for payment by Credit or Debit card.  All items are sold "AS-IS" and all sales are final.    It is the bidder’s responsibility to examine lots to determine their interest.  Neither the Auctioneer, consignor nor HSG is responsible for the accuracy of any description.  Absentee bids will be executed by a representative of HSG as a convenience.  HSG will not be responsible for any errors to execute bids.

 

 

  

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Save the date and bring a friend! The Historical Society Auction will be held Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012 rain or shine under a big tent at the Welles Shipman Ward House. We are looking for consignment items, which will bring at least $100 at auction.  Look around your house, attic, and barn for items that you would like to consign. Sterling silver flatware and tea sets are great, as is jewelry, odd chairs, quilts, candlesticks, candle stands, garden furniture, prints, paintings etc.

 

A major benefit of our Auction is helping our members who are weeding out antiques and collectibles.  Consignors realize 70% of the final sale and the Historical Society realizes 30% (a tax deductible contribution to the Society).  It’s a much better deal than you would get from an auction house.  That’s why we want your items first, before we open it to the public.  So look around, and call Gil Tyler if you have mainly furniture (633-2273) or Anne O’Connor if you have other things (633-8269).  If you aren’t sure whether the item is suitable, PLEASE feel free to give us a call.  We are happy to discuss them with you.  We are also looking for interesting smaller things for the silent auction.

 

There will be a Preview Party the night before for consigners and the Auction Committee. We need lots of help on the day of the auction, so please contact Donna Henrikson (860-633-6158)  if you would like to be a runner, register bidders, or do any of the myriad things, which need to be done on that day.  We’re all looking forward to a great and fun day Sept. 29, 2012!!
