The Cowan’s
Difference
C. Wesley Cowan
Founder, Chairman and Principal Auctioneer
Welcome to Cowan’s Auctions
Our mission is to bring exceptional objects to sophisticated buyers, with
passion, respect and integrity.
Specialists at Cowan’s Auctions have a variety of backgrounds with decades
of experience in everything from academia to museums and institutions to
retail. They regularly give lectures across the country and several are frequent
appraisers on PBS’Antiques Roadshow, Kentucky Collectibles, and Colorado
Collectibles.
In addition to the auctions themselves, our services include Property
Evaluations and Appraisals, Estate and Trust Advising, Private Treaty Sales,
Professional Packing and Transport Service, and Full Service In-House Shipping.
With offices in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Denver, Cowan’s holds over 40
auctions each year, with annual sales exceeding $16M. We continue to set
record prices for American Indian Art, Modern Ceramics, American History and
Fine Art.
A leader in the Fine Art and Antiques auction business, Cowan’s has disrupted
the marketplace since we first opened in 1995. We were among the earliest
houses to build a website and one of the first to sell online. In 2014, Cowan’s,
along with five of our competitors, launched Bidsquare.com, an online bidding
platform where auction houses are vetted to ensure honesty and quality.
But, like many companies, Cowan’s started small. A collector since early
childhood, founder Wes Cowan began collecting photographs of 19th century
America while working on his PhD at the University of Michigan in Ann
Arbor. In 1984, he joined the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History as Curator
of Archaeology. Along the way, he kept building his knowledge of early
photography and the history it captured. In 1995 he left the museum, became
a licensed auctioneer, and launched Cowan’s Auctions, Inc.
Cowan’s Auctions quickly built a reputation for quality, bringing a new level of
scholarship and honesty to the arena. The business grew rapidly as Cowan’s
added expertise in American Indian Art, Furniture, Paintings and Decorative
Art, Jewelry, Antique Firearms, and Modern Ceramics.
Today, Cowan’s attracts buyers from around the globe. We take pride in our
reputation for integrity, customer service and great results.

withdraw any lot at any time before its final sale and to reject any bid for any reason. The highest bidder for each lot acknowledged by the auctioneer
shall be the“buyer”. If any dispute arises as to any bidding, or between two or more bidders, at the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the successful bidder
will be determined or the disputed lot shall be put up again at the last undisputed bid and resold.
4) BUYER’S PREMIUM. (a) Buyer’s Premium for“Firearms”auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a
premium equal to 17.5% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 15% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000.
(b) Buyer’s Premium for“Fine and Decorative Art”,“Modern Ceramics”,“American Indian and Western Art”,“American History”,“Fine Jewelry and Timepieces”
and any other specialized auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 20% the Sale
Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 15% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000.
(c) Buyer’s Premium for online, timed and other third-party bidding platforms may vary.
5) ESTIMATES AND RESERVES. Presale estimates are intended to be guides and may or may not reflect the ultimate hammer price of a lot. Cowan’s
retains the right to change estimates on any lot up to time of sale. A reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the seller of the lot and
Cowan’s. In the case of reserved lots, the seller has authorized Cowan’s to bid on seller’s behalf until the reserve price is reached. In no case will the
reserve be higher than the low presale estimate. Cowan’s standard house reserve on all property at auction is one-half of the low estimate.
6) WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS. Cowan’s makes a limited warranty only to the original buyer of record concerning the authenticity of each lot for
a period of 14 days after bidder’s receipt of the purchased lot. If a buyer is not satisfied that the lot purchased is genuine, the buyer may, at his or her
own expense, obtain the opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed lot. If these experts determine that the
item is not genuine, the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the rescission of the sale and refund of the amount paid for the item. It is specifically
understood and agreed that the rescission of the sale and refund is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a
matter of law or in equity, and such remedy is conditioned upon the buyer returning the property in the same condition as at the time of sale. Cowan’s
shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. All sales are final, with no returns or refunds except as provided in this limited warranty.
Except as provided in the immediately proceeding paragraph, EVERY LOT IS SOLD“AS IS”, without any representations or warranties by Cowan’s or the
seller as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, condition or value of the property, or the correctness or completeness of the catalog or
other description of the property, and no statement, whether written or oral, shall be deemed such a representation, warranty or assumption of liability.
Cowan’s makes no representation or warranty that the buyer of manuscript material, photographs, prints or works of art will acquire any copyright
or reproduction rights. Cowan’s does not guarantee the working order of any clock, watch, electronic or mechanical device. Dimensions given in the
catalog descriptions may be approximate.

8) INSPECTION. Except for Online-Only Auctions, all lots are available for inspection prior to the auction. Condition reports for most items can be
found online at Cowan’s website, www.cowans.com, and prospective bidders are encouraged to contact Cowan’s directly for additional information
regarding the condition of any lot. Cowan’s does not warrant the condition of any item. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the
lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Buyers interested in the condition of an item are
encouraged to contact Cowan’s and, to the best of our ability, we will document for the prospective bidder the condition status on any lot. Condition is
always a subjective evaluation and final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of any item sold by Cowan’s.
ABSENTEE, TELEPHONE AND INTERNET BIDDING
Absentee and telephone bidding is offered as a free service to our customers and prospective bidders. Cowan’s shall not be responsible for any errors or
failures in executing bids, either absentee, telephone or via the internet.
9) ABSENTEE BIDDING. Absentee bids are accepted via mail, fax, email and on Cowan’s website. Such bids will be posted with the time and date of
arrival, with ties being awarded to the earliest bidder. Absentee bids that are faxed or emailed to Cowan’s need to be in the office at least 2 hours before
the sale begins.
An absentee bidder unknown to Cowan’s may be required to submit a bank letter of credit prior to the auction, or, using a credit card, deposit with
Cowan’s a fee equaling 30% of the absentee bid.
All absentee bids are executed competitively by a member of the auction staff. The auction staff will try to purchase the lot for the lowest price possible
and will bid up to the amount designated by the absentee bidder only if necessary. Cowan’s does not accept“buy bids,”or absentee bids which have no
limit. In the event of a tie bid between a floor and an absentee bidder, the floor bid will be honored.

10) TELEPHONE BIDDING. Bidding live via the telephone is available on a first come, first served basis for those lots with a low estimate of $500 or
greater. In order for Cowan’s to efficiently serve the needs of those who wish to bid by phone, please note the following:
(a) To participate in the auction by telephone, potential bidders must complete and sign the absentee bid form and check“I WISH TO BID BY PHONE”for
the designated lots. Potential bidders may also reserve a phone line on Cowan’s website. If faxing or emailing requests for phone bidding, they need to
be in Cowan’s office 2 hours before the sale begins. Once the auction begins, requests left on Cowan’s website may not be retrieved by the staff.
(b) Telephone bidders are advised to indicate an“insurance bid”, which amount will become an absentee bid, pursuant to the absentee bidding process
set forth above, if Cowan’s can not reach the bidder by telephone for a particular indicated lot.
(c) Telephone bidders must disable any caller ID or other call blocking mechanism.
(d) Cowan’s sells about 100 lots per hour, so telephone bidders should plan accordingly. Cowan’s will attempt to reach each telephone bidder, but
Cowan’s is in no way responsible for missed calls.
11) INTERNET BIDDING. Internet bidding is available through our website; additionally, Cowan’s may post certain auctions on Bidsquare (bidsquare.com)
or Proxibid (proxibid.com). There may be terms which apply solely to internet bids that should be reviewed online at the time of sale. Cowan’s is not
responsible for any failure to execute a bid and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with an internet auction.

$5,001 and up $500 or at the discretion of the auctioneer
Cowan’s reserves the right to modify increments at any time during the auction.
AFTER THE AUCTION
13) BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY. Upon the fall of the hammer, title to the offered lot shall pass to the buyer and the buyer immediately (a) assumes full
risk and responsibility for the lot, including liability for loss or damage and (b) is liable for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Cowan’s.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to ask specific questions on condition related concerns prior to the auction. Cowan’s will not rescind sales with buyers that
have disputes regarding firearm’s bore condition.
14) PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT. The discounted“Purchase Price”for each lot shall equal the hammer price, buyer’s premium, sales tax and, if
applicable, all packing, handling, insurance and shipping costs. Payment may be made with cash, personal or traveler’s check or credit card. Cowan’s
reserves the right to hold a purchased lot until a check has cleared.
A convenience fee of $15.00 will be assessed to all transactions made in the alternate payment channels: Phone payments are made available as a
convenience outside Cowan’s Auctions customary payment channels, therefore these payments are qualified as payments made in the alternative
payment channel. All forms of payment made using this method will be assessed the convenience fee. Please call Cowan’s Auctions if you have any
questions regarding this policy.
PLEASE NOTE: A surcharge of 3% will be assessed to all credit card transactions. This surcharge is not greater than our cost of acceptance.
Buyers who are present at the auction must pay the full Purchase Price at the time of the sale. Buyers who bid by telephone, by internet, or who are
absentee bidders will be invoiced within 5 days after the close of the auction and must pay the full Purchase Price for each purchased lot within 14 days
after the date of the auction. No property will be released by Cowan’s unless the Purchase Price has been paid in full.
Institutional billing may be available, and should be arranged prior to the auction.
Cowan’s may impose late charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest interest rate allowed) on any amount owed to Cowan’s that remains unpaid after 30
days. Buyer shall be liable for any collection costs or attorney’s fees incurred by Cowan’s to collect payment, to the extent permitted by law.
15) SALES TAX. Buyers are required to pay any applicable state and local sales tax.
16) SHIPPING. At the request of the buyer, Cowan’s will authorize the shipment of purchased items usually within two weeks after payment has been
received. Shipment is generally made via UPS or Fed-Ex Ground. Unless buyer gives special instructions, the shipping method shall be at the sole
discretion Cowan’s Auctions. Cowan’s is in no way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent handlers, packers or shippers of purchased items
or for any loss, damage or delay from the packing or shipping of any property.
ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. Cowan’s will not ship any package containing a firearm to any location other than within the United States. Buyers
outside the United States must make their own shipping arrangements taking full risk for the transportation of any firearm.
Property made of or containing certain plant or animal materials, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, baleen, tortoiseshell, etc., may require a
license or certificate before exportation from the United States and importation to another country. If you are purchasing items that contain these
materials, you need to check the government wildlife import requirements in the countries from which and to which the item is being shipped prior to
bidding. Since the export and import licenses are independently issued by the countries of origin and destination, obtaining one does not guarantee
that you can obtain the other. Purchasers are responsible for making timely payments on items won at auction, even if a license is delayed or denied.
17) SHIPPING CHARGES. Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty charges are the responsibility of the
successful bidder. Be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial.
18) REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF PROPERTY. If purchased property has not been removed, or Cowan’s has not received shipping instructions within 21
days after the auction date, a $10 per item per day storage fee may be charged to the buyer.
19) CANCELLATION OF SALE. If purchased property remains in the custody of Cowan’s for a period of 60 days following the auction, Cowan’s may, at its
option, cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payments made by the buyer, or resell the property at auction or by any other commercially
reasonable means, for the account and at the risk of the buyer, and in such event, buyer shall be liable for the payment of all deficiencies plus all of
Cowan’s costs, including but not limited to storage and costs of both sales. This right of cancellation is in addition to any and all other remedies available
to Cowan’s.
