listed online.
2. The auctioneers have endeavored to correctly catalog and describe
the property being sold, but all property is sold "as is".
The auctioneers reserve the right to make verbal corrections and
provide additional information from the block at the time of sale.
All trains and battery operated toys are sold as untested and
are not guaranteed to work.
3. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be

bidder or he may re-offer the disputed item for sale, if he so
wishes.

items purchased must be removed immediately after the sale unless
specific arrangements to hold them have been made with the auctioneers.

auctioneers deem such action necessary to protect their interest.
Mail bidders must pay in full within 20 days of the auction sale
date.

LLOYD RALSTON GALLERY, Inc. guarantees the toys they sell, but
cannot be responsible for interior repairs not visible without
taking the toy apart or exact replacement parts created by contemporary
craftsmen who are doing expert undetectable restorations. Missing
pieces of toys and games not obvious without directions or knowledge
of the toy or game are also not part of this guarantee. Miniature
figures - major defects, damages, repair and/or repainting have
been noted where possible. It must be understood that we cannot
be responsible for minor age defects or hidden conditions. They
will be sold in an "as is" condition. Original boxes
were used to protect the items inside, so they are usually worn.
The original box is not included in the grading of the toy. An
original box described as "rough" should be considered
as in very poor & distressed condition and may or may not
be complete.It must be understood that toys were played with by
children. Consequently, when a toy is graded C1, it has more flaws,
such as rust, dents, worn tires, etc., than toys graded C6. However,
the toys graded C6 also might have these flaws, but to a lesser
degree. We do not grade a toy based on its rarity. If you have
a specific question about a piece being auctioned and need more
information than is listed in the catalog, please call on a preview
day and ask for assistance.
