Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 13-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Free pickup at the South Loop dock (recommended). Smaller pieces can ship, quoted before you pay.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

What's it worth?

Taking a squint at it...

An estimate from the photos and description, not an appraisal and not a reserve. Bid what it is worth to you; the sea sets no prices and neither do we.

Description

A cautionary tale for any crew that squabbles over the loot. Panel one: three bulldogs sit in a row, collars tagged H, F and B. Panel two: H and F square up over a bone while B looks on. Panel three: H and F tear into each other in a heap and B sidles closer. Panel four: H lies flat on the grass, F staggers off in a cloud of dust, and B trots away with the bone in his teeth. Cheeky old dog.

Printed in soft, old-fashioned colour with blue skies, green grass and a picket fence, the look of an antique chromolithograph. In a dark frame behind glass with a narrow cream border; our main shot is a close crop, so the frame and the very bottom edge are trimmed. No maker’s name visible in our photos.
