Lot 221: Carnival Strippers

Welcome to TAMARKIN RARE CAMERA AUCTION

Please read the "General Instructions" and the "Terms and Conditions of Sale":


I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:


1. BUYER'S PREMIUM

The Buyer's Premium is 17.5%.


2. CONDITION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT

All items are offered "as is." There is no return privilege, and all sales are final.

We have sought to express carefully in our catalogue a useful, general guide to the condition of each Lot. We have also attempted to describe any damage or restoration, but our descriptions cannot be accepted as absolutely definitive and complete. The absence of such a reference does not imply that a Lot is free from defects nor does any reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Such information is given for guidance only and the condition of any Lot, and the nature and extent of any damage or restoration, should be confirmed by examination prior to the sale.

In terms of function, common sense should prevail. While we have tried to call attention to conspicuous mechanical or optical problems, one should assume that many of the Lots have seen little recent use and, therefore, have not recently been cleaned, lubricated, or adjusted. This means that some Lots, especially older camera gear, might have shutter speeds and/or light meters, that might need adjusting, and that lenses and other optical items might require lubrication and/or cleaning.
