Auction Description

Diving Into History Auction by Nation's Attic Inc.
Nation's Attic's last Diving Into History auction for 2021 will be held on Saturday, December 4th, 2021. This event will be a memorable one, full of unique and, in some cases, one-of-a-kind items. The auction consists of multiple collections from individuals and businesses. Hardhat equipment and related diving gear used by the Divers Academy International technical school will be featured in this sale. A pristine US Navy Mark V diving helmet purchased from DESCO in 1977 that never was used is one of the many treasures from this institution. A large number of diving helmet parts, fittings, and other equipment used in training countless commercials divers from 1977 into the 21st Century will be offered. Antique diving helmets from A.J. Morse, DESCO, Craftsweld, Siebe Gorman, Heinke, rare knives, books, and photos from multiple collections around the globe will also be available. Maritime artifacts, rare documents, and even a collection of authentic Megalodon teeth will round out the sale. As always, all international bidders are welcome. Shipping to any point in the world is available, and professional packing on all items is done in-house. Nation's Attic is the largest dealer and auctioneer of authentic antique and vintage diving helmets and related equipment globally. Find out just how rewarding and pleasurable participating in our Diving Into History auctions are! Read more

Terms & Conditions

TERMS & CONDITIONS 

1. Prior to sale, all bidders must register with Nation’s Attic Inc. or online via Bidsquare to participate in bidding.  

 

2. The Auctioneer and the Consignor assume no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity or the authorship of any property identified in the online catalogue (that is, the identity of the creator or the period, culture, source or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified herein). All property is sold "As Is" and neither the Auctioneer nor the Consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness or any implied warranty or merchantability or any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose as it relates to description, genuineness, attribution, provenance, safety, reliability or condition of the property. If any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose can be construed from the catalogue, auction, or bill of sale, such warranties are disclaimed by the Auctioneer and the Consignor. No statement in the online catalogue or made at the sale or in the Bill of Sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an admission of liability. Moreover, the Auctioneer will not be held responsible for any variations in appearance of online photographs. 

 

3. Notwithstanding the preceding condition, if within 14 days of the sale of any lot the purchaser of any antique gives notice in writing to the Auctioneer that the lot so sold is a counterfeit and, if within 7 days after such notice the purchaser returns to the Auctioneer in the same condition as when sold, and gives written proof from a recognized impartial expert which establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the returned lot is in fact a counterfeit and that this was not indicated by a fair reading of the catalogue or the Auctioneer's comments at the time of sale, the Auctioneer as agent for the Consignor will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price. 

 

4. A premium equal to 15% of the successful bid price will be added thereto and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. 

 

5. The Sales Tax rate for Wichita, Kansas is 7.5% and is computed on this total purchase price and applies to bidders residing within the state. The purchaser will be required to pay Sales Tax unless exempted through possession of a valid State of Kansas Sales Tax number on file. 

Please Note: The State of Kansas has no arrangement of reciprocity with any other jurisdiction and the Auctioneer cannot honor a Sales Tax number from any other jurisdiction. 

 

6. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any property at any time before actual sale. 

 

7. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bid acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder, or to re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. If the Auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, he may reject the bid; and if, having acknowledged an opening bid he decides that any advance is not sufficient, he may reject the advance. The Auctioneer reserves the right to acknowledge an auction floor bid before acknowledging an internet and/or phone bid regardless of the maximum bid amount provided by the bidder before and/or during the auction. 

 

8. On the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer, title to the offered lot passes to the highest bidder who thereupon will pay the full purchase price therefore or such part as the Auctioneer may require. All property shall be removed by the purchaser at his expense on the day of sale and, if not so removed, may be sent by the Auctioneer to a public warehouse for the account, risk and expense of the purchaser. Any damage to or loss of any item purchased which is left with the Auctioneer after the day of purchase is the purchaser's sole responsibility. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to the Auctioneer and the Consignor by law, including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the bid price, the Auctioneer at its option, may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser, or (b) re-sell the property on 3 days notice to the purchaser and for the account and risk of the purchaser, either publicly or privately, and in such event the purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency plus all costs, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, and the Auctioneer's commission at its regular rates and all other charges due hereunder, and incidental charges. No claims shall be allowed after removal of goods and no article shall be re-sold for purchaser at the sale where purchased. 

 

9. The Auctioneer reserves the right to cancel the sale or any portion thereof without prior or further notice, and to announce at any time additional conditions of sale. 

 

10. Bidding will constitute full acceptance of the terms and conditions herein.  Also recognize, all items are being sold as used and/or antiques.  The items are meant to be used for display purposes only.  Not liable for functionality.  Take it upon your own risk to use, which is not advised.

For internet bidders, if payment is not received within 5 business days following the auction, a payment reminder invoice will be sent. If payment is not received within 10 business days of the auction, we (Nations Attic, Inc.) reserve the right to void the sale of the item(s) to that bidder, and make the item(s) available for sale to the under bidder. In addition, any non-paying bidder will be prohibited from registering for any future auction that is held by Nations Attic, Inc.
