Our consignor made a concerted effort to collect material from Indian Agent Thomas Downs including purchasing significant material out of auction from the house he built in Conners, Indiana. This collection of Downs material was intended to be offered as one unit in our sale and was unintentionally split up. Because of this, these lots will be withdrawn. (Lots 743, the hat in Lot 1035, Lot 845 and Lot 825) These lots will be regrouped properly in the next sale.
