LIMITATIONS :
The statements contained in this report are made for the stated purpose and reflect the estimated fair market value of authentic comparable examples.
This report does not
constitute an authentication, nor should it be construed as other than a valuation based upon visual examination of the subject's surface material to determine culture, condition, and stylistic age.
Positive authentication cannot
be established without scientific tests utilizing special equipment and procedures. Fair market value is the price at which thé property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, if neither one is under any compulsion to buy or to sell and if both have reasonable knowledge of ail relevant facts. The fair market value may not be determined by a forced sale price.
It also may not be determined by the sale price in
a market other than that in which the item is most commonly sold to the public. Thus, in the case of an item that is generally retailed, the fair market value is the price at which the item or a comparable item would be sold at retail. This report is for this sole purpose and reproduction of it is prohibited without express consent of the Valuer, in writing.
Use of this report for any other purpose negates
it in ils entirety.
