PLEASE SIGN UP FOR THE AUCTION BEFORE THE AUCTION BEGINS. BIDDERS TRYING TO SIGN UP DURING THE AUCTION WILL MOST LIKELY FACE CHALLENGES IN BIDDING AND WE DO NOT PROMISE IMMEDIATE APPROVALS. PLEASE NOTE: OUR AUCTION RUNS SIMULTANEOUSLY ON MULTIPLE INTERNET PLATFORMS AS WELL AS WITH TRADITIONAL LIVE ON-SITE AUCTION BIDDERS AND ABSENTEE BIDS. At the fall of auctioneer's hammer, the highest bidder shall be deemed to have purchased the offered lot and assumes full risk and responsibility for the article. Neither consignor nor auction company is thereafter responsible for loss or any damage to the article by fire, theft, or breakage. Every attempt has been made to catalog all items accurately to include descriptions. Helm Auction, Inc. does not guarantee correctness of descriptions, approximate ages, materials, tribal designations, amount of repair or restoration. Highest bidder is deemed to be the buyer. If a dispute arises between two or more bidders, auctioneer shall have sole and final decision to determine the successful bidder or to immediately re-offer and resell the article in dispute. BUYERS PREMIUM 20%. All sales are final and returns ARE NOT PERMITTED. MANY OF THE ITEMS OFFERED ARE ON CONSIGNMENT AND SOLD AS IS.

Please look at all pictures and read descriptions, items have some amount of acceptable wear, scratches, nicks, missing stitches, etc. Pictures in frames have not been examined outside the frame.
Shipping charges are per lot. Shipping costs are indicated in the description area of the catalog. These shipping charges are estimates and are only for the United States. Bidders from Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico may incur further charges, please inquire ahead of time. Foreign bidders are advised to inquire about shipping certain items before bidding to avoid surprises. Shipping will be computed (ie. Combined shipping and/or insurance fees) on an individual basis after the auction ends. PLEASE DO NOT PAY BEFORE WE COMPUTE YOUR SHIPPING CHARGES.

Helm Auction, Inc will discuss shipping and Customs documents with foreign buyers for outside the U.S. for specific shipping instructions to include Customs Declaration forms. Charges are for handling, packing materials, insurance and shipping fees. Items will be shipped primarily via FedEx and the United States Postal Service. If you want them shipped another way, you must pay the additional charges. FedEx will not deliver to Post Office Boxes, thus if your only method of receiving a shipment is via Post Office box, we will be limited in shipping via USPS only, which may or may not be more expensive than FedEx.
If you require a direct signature for your package, we will charge an extra $2.50 to your shipping total. Paintings with glass cannot be insured. All items that are insurable will be insured. In the event of damage during shipping, claims must be filed within 3 days of receiving your items. If those items are damaged, please keep all packing materials and boxes and contact Helm Auction for further instructions. Without pictures of the damage and the packing materials, claims cannot be processed. Helm Auction, Inc will file the claims. Helm Auction will explain what other information will be needed for filing claims. Claims will not be settled until shipping company has completed investigation. The investigation may involve actual presentation to the Shipping Service. Oversize items that need wooden crates will be charged for additional shipping charges. We will combine shipping if more than one item is purchased.
