For additional information regarding terms, conditions of sale, or any matter relevant to the auction, please contact: schmidtmuseum@yahoo.com The Schmidt Museum and the Schmidt Collection are not affiliated with The Coca-Cola Company in any way. Condition Guide 9-10 or Near Mint 8-8.9 or Excellent 7-7.9 or Very Good 6-6.9 or Good 5-5.9 or Fair 2-4.9 or Poor All critical descriptions in this catalog have been provided by Gary Metz. For those of you who may not be familiar with my grading methods, you should know that I try to evaluate any item in terms of degradation from time of manufacture. If an item has been restored it will merit a higher grade than if it had not been restored, however would usually not come up to the grade of an identical item without restoration, but with equivalent physical appearance. If an item has a few issues that I point out and it appears to me to equal a condition of 80% to 85% of what it was when manufactured, then I will grade the item 8-8.5/Ex. My goal is to have the end buyer either agree with my condition rating or view the item to be better than described. That said, grading can be subjective no matter the effort expended or techniques employed, so you are encouraged to carefully inspect items of interest prior to sale time. One final note regarding my descriptions is that they are more technically detailed. My goal is only that you will have a clear idea of the present state of any item herein when you couple the descriptive details with the condition rating I?ve provided. I am available in person during the preview hours for consultation and additional questions. Also, I can be reached at 540-520-8029 or at gmetz1@cox.net for additional consultation regarding items being sold. I am always happy to do what I can to shed more light on details such as relative rarity of specific items, finer points regarding condition, or other related information you may desire or require. Large Item Removal All removal of large, bulky or affixed items from the museum is at the purchaser?s expense and responsibility. Any contractor employed must present a proper insurance certificate before removing these items. Removal dates and times are to be scheduled with the museum staff. Mechanical Items No warranties, guarantees, or assumptions of continued working order of any mechanical items sold are given nor implied. That cannot be predicted due to the inherent temperamental nature of the old mechanisms powering clocks, lighted signs, vending machines, vehicles and any other mechanical items from the museum collection. Most machines have not been tested and most are without keys. Their main purpose in the museum setting has been strictly for display. Other Notes Framed articles have usually not been examined outside of the frames. All items are sold by description and not by illustration.
