ITEM DESCRIPTIONS & CONDITIONS: Employees do their best to aid and assist the customer, however any statements made by Schmitt Horan & Co. employees, agents or contractors are not considered a definitive record of what is being sold. The final record of what is being sold in a lot under any and all circumstances is the catalog provided by Schmitt Horan & Co., both printed and online. If there is a discrepancy between employee statements and the catalog, the catalog is the final and ultimate legal record of what is offered in the lot. We do our best to identify restoration, alteration or other condition issues in the condition report. We shall not be held liable for failure to do so. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER TO CONFIRM

CONDITION PRIOR TO BIDDING: If the lot description includes the words “as found” or “as is” the item is sold without any guarantees. All lots containing multiple items are considered in “AS IS” condition and cannot be returned. General maintenance items such as broken suspension springs, broken or missing weight cords, & missing keys are not mentioned. Most clocks and watches will require cleaning and service after purchase. All costs associated with this are the responsibility of the client. Dimensions are approximate.

PHOTOGRAPHS: Please note, some items when photographed, particularly watches, may have shadows, reflections or other marks that are a result of the photographic process and are not permanent. Both buyer and seller grant unrestricted use of auction lot photographs and prices realized to both Schmitt Horan & Co., LiveAuctioneers.com and to Invaluable.com.
