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.

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

Two faces sharing one sheet like shipmates sharing a hammock. On the left, a long face framed in green and black, with wide lashy eyes, a nose made of two straight lines and a little grimace of a mouth. On the right, a face split into blocks of brown, grey and tan, one big yellow eye up top and a pair of full lips set low. A yellow polka-dot collar and two rounded shoulders fill the bottom.

Drawn in coloured marker on tan paper and signed “Elmer Sanders” at the lower left. White mat, dark wooden frame with a worn edge, under glass. The hold already has two other pieces signed Elmer Sanders, Lots 107 and 110.
